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.

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.
