Gold Cedar Nights

This to me very aromatic with cardamom, cinnamon, and nutmeg. I don't get much sweetness in it as mentioned on this page; I mean it is to the point that it is not sweet at all line. Very pleasant and different scent. It's masculine and should be complement getter. I do happen to have a Givenchy Very Irresistible for Men and although it is a good fragrance but does not come close to this one. GVI is very coffee forward but coffee in this is more like a supporting note and same for cardamom so you have to find it in the blend rather than screaming notes. This is a very beautiful blend and again to me it is an aromatic woody fragrance. Also patchouli note in it is very beautiful and bright complementing woody note of cedar which as name suggests is the main note in this fragrance. A safe buy in my opinion. FragranceNet.com has this for $54 at the time of drafting this review.

I was actually pretty disgusted by this for the first few weeks I had it, for whatever reason it hit my nose like an old bowl of salad with a soy dressing type smell.. Why? idk. Even then, in the drydown or off the atomizer I could smell what I WANTED to smell, and I loved it. I kept telling my brain to smell GOLD AND CEDAR AND CHOCOLATE, and over time the way my nose/brain perceived it literally changed lol. Now, its quite literally one of my favorites in a collection of 80 or so. It is just a masterfully done, beautiful and rich cedar-chocolate scent. It is the perfect combination of woodsy-spiciness from the cedar, mixed with the perfectly sweetened chocolate/praline note. Nothing about the quality here is cheap, this smells like top tier niche for me. (its from JDP's niche line, anyway.) Absolute love for me. Making sure I get my wears in with this one this winter.

I loved this scent right away, when I first sprayed I thought "mmm this is really nice", I love the "not too sweet gourmand cinnamon - coffee - cardamom opening" and when it dries down is lovely and a bit mysterious. It is not linear, it keeps changing slightly when in transition, I have not smelled "Intoxicated by Killian" but some people say this is very similar, and I definitely can say this fragrance is Intoxicating. This is one of my favourite cool weather fragrances and one of my favourites of my collection. Blind buy worthy in my opinion if you like not too sweet spicy gourmand mysterious fragrances. It is just different.

On my skin first 5-10mins smell like indian curry. But after the initial disappointment comes the magic. The frag is spicy, warm, tad sweet, enchanting and seductive with hints of cedar lurking around. I think it could be used by female as well. Performance in cool weather is astounding. I get over 12hrs off my skin. I paid 60eur and would definitely buy it again.

I do think this is beautiful. Its one of these scents that are both warm and cool. Meaning it really feels and smells like nighttime, a mild enchanted Mediterranean night. There is warmth, fresh air , darkness and open space. Something I wanna live in. It does lean quite masculine , so I’m considering selling, so pm if interested, EU.
