WIDIAN Gold I is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2016, created by Jean-Claude Astier and Ali Aljaberi. Gold I opens with Pepper and Apple, settles into a heart of White Flowers and Oud, and dries down to a base of Musk, Amber, Sandalwood, and Vanilla. WIDIAN's Gold I carries an Acquired verdict, a woody-led wear.

This is a seriously polarising oud, musk and apple blend. Some find it a refined, creamy dream, while others recoil from a skanky, barnyard blast. Definitely try before you buy.

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.

About

Gold I opens with a crisp, slightly spicy kick of apple and pepper, quickly giving way to a dominant, often challenging oud. As it settles, white florals emerge, softening the edges before it dries down to a luxurious base of warm amber, creamy sandalwood, sweet vanilla, and a prominent, complex musk.
