What does Golden Boy smell like?
It opens with saffron and violet leaf, then moves into cedar, thyme, leather and lavender at the heart. The base settles on musk, vanilla, suede and frankincense. The spicy, woody character carries powdery, resinous and smoky shades, with vanilla softening the edges.
Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Most voters pick fall and winter, and evening and night out are the most chosen occasions. Most voters read it as masculine. Editions de Parfums Frédéric Malle Monsieur. and Lattafa Pride Al Areeq Gold have a close profile.
