Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Raw Gold opens with a rich, boozy davana, quickly joined by the buttery, slightly powdery elegance of iris and a grounding cedar. The heart introduces a plush suede, an earthy patchouli, and the smoky depth of guaiac wood. As it settles, a luxurious saffron intertwines with a creamy vanilla and warm benzoin, creating a complex, golden, and deeply sensual dry down.
