Goldleaf

I was introduced to Thymes in the early 1990s, when Goldleaf was called Goldleaf and Hydrangea. It is beautiful - a true tapestry - and the similarity to Norell is there in the beginning. With the oakmoss issues in recent years, I wrote Thymes and they assured me they use a kind of oakmoss that is not restricted. I love how you can enjoy this fragrance in everything from room spray, candles, all the way to parfum. Boutiques carry this one, but it's just as easy to order online. I now have the rollerball parfum, which is around $20. The lotions and bath gel are each under $6. A great way to try these scents without spending too much. Thymes has excellent customer service and will send samples. BTW, I'm not affiliated with this company in any way. Just love to find excellent CS these days.

I got the Thymes sample lotion bag, and they are very generous with them. They include just about every fragrance in there. This one is my favorite of all of them for personal wear. It is a very feminine, classy fragrance, and the white florals aren't overpowering, blended very well. I was a bit worried after seeing some of the "people who like this also like" perfumes, as I dislike a lot of those on me. This one, however, smells very good with my body chemistry, and I plan on purchasing the perfume and body products as well now.

This is a lovely scent! Goldleaf smells fresh, clean, a little spicy, a little flowery, a little musky. My nose loves it all! Other people must love it too because Goldleaf garners compliments. Can be worn day or night. Another thing I would say is don't go overboard when applying the perfume. This Eau de Parfum is available at Thymes.com, or you can find it at various retailers. My local garden store carries this line. I think all of the Thymes products are top notch. Goldleaf is a classy scent!

Bought a small roll-on version of this at duty-free while travelling...have to say it certainly went beyond my expectations. It is indeed very golden, like its namesake. The florals all blend together to create a very heavy, luxurious scent. I didn't get too much green notes with this one. When I rolled it onto my wrist, there was a burst of Jasmine and LOTV. It was really fresh, but it oiled down to hyacinth and quickly turned to a musky rose. Very heady, and for some reason, also smelled very aldehydic...the scent of this one is reminiscent of "old school" perfumes. Very heavy and definitely pronounced. Not a "polite" scent, but definitely very rich. I wear this when I want to feel powerfully feminine, or for night time galas and the like.

First impressions: Oh wow! this might be the exact soap that my classy grandmom has had in her bathroom. I got the travel size bottle of this and this is already giving me nostalgia. For the record my grand mom is 101 years old, but even at 90 she isn’t your average grandmom. She is very much a glama. Usually people would complain that their grandmother house smells old, but my grandmother’s house always smelled impeccable. Edit 1: I’m still in love with this. Picture a lux hotel soap. It’s a complex soap and it’s absolutely comforting to me. I think my mother used to have a perfume like this that was called molinard de molinard. I don’t think this would be my signature scent since it’s too calming for me, and reminds me of childhood. Edit 2: This might've been my mother’s favorite type of scent when I was growing up. It's a very mature old school soapy type of scent. I'm gonna downgrade this to a like because it's a type of scent that is too nostalgic for me. It's not really for me per se, maybe it can be for someone else. Edit 3: Ouch I sprayed this thinking oh this is old school aldehydes. No one is going to take offense to this. Well, apperently this is unequivocally an unweilding STRONG perfume. I thought the formula would change because real oak moss is illegal to use in high percentages. Verdict: pass- it does give off a room spray vibe, and to me this isn’t my ultimate “hug in a bottle” perfume. It’s still pretty good though!
