scent_talks - Golden Tabac - A floral honeyed scent, with fruity nuances, right at the top. Easing into a mid of tobacco coupled with vanilla and an amber accord to create something which feels pastry like, conjuring up images of burnt sugar and freshly roasted coffee beans. The tobacco here isn't rugged, it comes across resinous, and easing out of the mid into the base, that's the aroma which makes this fragrance, which can feel syrupy at the top, turn into something airy and light. The complexities of the animalics used, musk and ambergris are apparent in the late mid and base, and the oud provides a backdrop for all the notes to settle themselves upon, in addition to adding to the resinous quality. To me, what I adore about the scent is this balance between honeyed florals, and resinous facets, coming together into a very classical sort of fragrance, on a base of oakwood caskets smeared in vanilla and coffee absolute! It'll be quite overwhelming the first time you wear it, but once you reach the almost honey suckle flowers drowned in frankincense honey stage, you'll not be able to get enough. Quite different to blends like Cuir de Tabac, this feels more like a floral reimagination of Psychedelic Tabac, or Tabac d'un autre monde! With Saffron and spices toned down, compared to those other two. Word's can't really describe everything that's going on in this scent, and yet again, high impact florals have been used with care, tuned so the jasmine and taif rose create a fruity floral accord without simply overwhelming everything around them!
