Golden Wood

S.T. Dupont Golden Wood is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2020. Golden Wood opens with Bergamot and Pink Pepper, settles into a heart of Sandalwood and Patchouli, and dries down to a base of Woody and Amber. S.T. Dupont's Golden Wood carries an Acquired verdict, a powdery-led wear.

Don't let the name fool you - despite the 'wood' in the title, this is a full-throttle leather beast. It's a remarkably good Tom Ford Tuscan Leather dupe, offering outstanding performance at a fraction of the price. The marketing might be a mess, but the scent is a hidden gem.

Its exceptional longevity and strong projection make it unsuitable for most office environments, as it could be overwhelming. It's best reserved for evening wear, where its bold character shines, making it perfect for dates or formal events. It's too heavy for casual daytime wear or anything active.

About

Golden Wood kicks off with a brief, zesty flash of bergamot and a hint of pink pepper before plunging headfirst into a rich, deep leather accord that dominates the entire composition. While official notes list sandalwood and patchouli, the overwhelming presence is a robust, smoky leather, often compared to high-end designer offerings. The dry down settles into a dark, amber-tinged woodiness, providing a sophisticated backdrop to the enduring leather. It's a powerful, almost brooding fragrance for those who appreciate a bold statement.
