Fragrance description

Embarking upon a sensory journey anew, the Raw Gold Extrait de Parfum emerges as a reimagined version of the earlier esteemed Raw Gold eau de parfum. This fragrance has undergone a masterful reformulation, revealing a character that is as intriguing as it is alluring. Encased in a new bottle that boasts an elegant wooden cap, it epitomizes luxury in every detail. This scent has made a profound impression on me, striking a chord with its unique blend of notes. It stands out as one of the most fascinating olfactory discoveries of 2023, marking a bold statement in the world of perfumery.

COSMIC GOLD

In the beginning, there was chaos, and from chaos came harmony. Within this harmony, in the fiery forges of nascent stars, elements were born, carrying the secrets of the cosmos. Here, in the unpenetrable hearts of stars, gold was created—a dancing element that, through aeons of cosmic evolution, became a symbol of undying worth and beauty.

AURA OF ETERNAL YOUTH

Gold, emblematic of eternal youth and opulence, has mesmerized with its luster for ages. A cosmic gift born from the colossal collisions of neutron stars, it harbors the mysteries of the Universe. Like youth, it radiates vibrancy and life, its scarcity and enduring nature reminiscent of the fleeting moments that make up our existence. Its particles, though minuscule, shine with a force that has endured since the dawn of time, a testament to the infinite energy permeating the fabric of space.

THE POWER OF ORRIS AND DAVANA

Sparks born from cosmic fire, the top notes of Orris and Davana rise, creating an olfactory veil as mystical as constellations. Orris, a noble ingredient, is akin to the element of gold itself - rare and revered for its unique charm. Davana, on the other hand, introduces a sweet, fruity accent, reminiscent of the boundless possibilities carried by space.

LONGING FOR PATCHOULI AND SUEDE

As spiral galaxies whirl in the cosmos, the middle notes of Patchouli and Suede draw one into the abyss of depth, balancing between the rawness of material and the delicacy of structure. Patchouli, with its earthy undertone, reflects the cosmic dust from which all was born, while Suede adds texture, soft yet strong - like the skin of a new star that has yet to experience the ravages of time.

RESILIENCE OF GUAIAC WOOD

Guaiac Wood, with its hard yet aromatic essence, is like the formation of planets from elusive cosmic matter, capable of creating new worlds, reminding us of the inexhaustible strength and power hidden in the element of gold.

DEPTH OF OUD, VANILLA, BENZOIN

The base notes of Oud, Vanilla, and Benzoin bring depth and permanence, like the echo of long-dead stars whose light still reaches us. Oud, with its rich and complex profile, is like the darkness of space, out of which all elements emerge. Vanilla, with its sweet, warm essence, is reminiscent of the unceasing search for light, while Benzoin, with its balsamic comfort, envelops like an invisible nebula, protecting and preserving.

EPILOGUE

Within gold, as in the cosmos, lies a promise of eternity—an immortal spark passed down through generations. In every gram of this noble metal is reflected the stars that traverse the heavens, a constant reminder of our connection to the universe's grandeur and the timeless journey of the elements from starfire to cherished treasure.
