Gold II Sahara

Widian’s ‘Gold Collection’ is a celebration of precious materials prized across the Arab states. In Gold II Sahara the opulence of saffron and elemi are masterfully worked into an entirely modern composition that perfectly balances subtly with excess. Gold II Sahara opens with the citrusy and slight terpenic edge of elemi combined with a beautifully sweet candied orange coloured crimson by saffron. As the fragrance evolves, the focus shifts onto rose and orange blossom. The rose is dark and syrupy with the sweetness offset against the dusty earthiness of the saffron. The dry-down is characterised by soft musks, cedar, and the resinous sweetness of vanilla while the saffron has developed a noticeable leathery aspect. It is these final stages of Gold II Sahara where the fragrance really shines. All the notes masterfully blended create an aura this is at once enveloping and transparent. Gold II Sahara is opulent, exotic and memorizing. Astier has showcased some of the finest raw materials in perfumery in a way that feels distinctly Arabian, but finessed by traditional French perfumery. Gold II Sahara is a olfactory amalgamation of two separatist fragrances styles, the end result being a composition that is beautifully unique. This is undoubtedly my new reference saffron fragrance and I am obsessed. Performance is phenomenal. I get all day longevity with a moderate sillage throughout. The Gold II Sahara is unisex and versatile being suitable year round and for any occasion. IG: Nathan__jamesj

Widian is a house I admire because of the potency of their fragrances but never wears too heavy. It is just the right amount of strong and versatility even when oversprayed. Gold II Sahara is an uplifting and juicy rose, saffron and oud combo that makes me feel opulent and confident. It wears like an aura that emerged out of the skin instead of a perfume sprayed on skin. It is best worn in cold evening. This is the replacement of Widian Gold II that discontinued but with the same notes. #vscentorientreview

I wanted to try Widian perfumes and ordered a sample of this. I think it is such a beautiful perfume perfect for this time of year.. November December, it’s cold here, dark.. sweet saffran is still sophisticated and elegant in this one. I was surprised that I like it. It smelled great on me and on a man. Maybe it wouldn’t be perfect for other time of year to be honest. But currently it’s very comforting for a long evening walk in the city or a evening at a cafe.

This is a master piece:) I only had samples of it and I enjoyed every drop. Hope to purchase a full bottle for the winter season. In the dark and depressing winter months in Sweden it’s so nice to wear such lively, warm, sophisticated perfume.. it’s sweet, complex, deep, but light?. You simply have to try it.

For me this is perfection... I smelld it not knowing what it was and The feeling i got was dessert..plain and simple.. Its warm skin (tha sauna feel) .. Dry saffron and high quality amber, i cant stand not to own this golden epic juice
