The Harmonist Golden Wood Parfum

Description

Golden Wood is a honeyed woody scent: bright mandarin, golden beeswax and warm cabreuva wood over oak and tonka bean. The Harmonist builds its range around the Chinese five elements, and Golden Wood is its wood-element scent, described by the house as a comforting aroma with the strength of a centuries-old tree. The citrus opening is short and sunny. Beeswax gives the heart a soft, honey-like sweetness without tipping into a gourmand, and the base is dry oak, balsamic cabreuva and creamy tonka bean. It wears calm, warm and easy.

Scent Character

Translation: a woody scent first, with the beeswax and tonka adding a honeyed sweetness and the mandarin a short, fresh lift.

Fragrance Pyramid

• Top: Mandarin
• Heart: Beeswax, Cabreuva

Note: retailers publish two versions of this pyramid. One adds barley malt, elemi, birch and amber, the other bergamot, bitter orange, pear and guaiac wood. The notes above are the ones both versions share.

Performance

Longevity: Around 6–8 hours on skin.
Sillage: Moderate, a soft warm trail rather than a loud one.
Projection: About arm's length after the first hour.

An honest note: honeyed woods like this tend to sit closer to the skin as they dry down.
