What does Raw Gold (Eau de Parfum) smell like?

It opens with coffee, pepper and liqueur, giving a warm, spicy first impression. In the heart, suede, leather and lipstick add a soft, powdery texture. The base is dominated by oak, cigar, honey, saffron and patchouli, settling into a smoky, resinous and earthy sweetness.

Longevity is rated very strong and sillage strong. Most voters pick autumn and winter, and it leans towards evening and night-out wear. It reads somewhat more masculine, though a sizeable share of voters find it feminine. Davidoff Leather Blend and Abaco Nuit Dorée have a close profile.
