Description

Golden Eyes is an ode to the ancient cedar forests of Japan: time slowing beneath towering canopies where sacred deer move through dappled light. Launched in 2021, it opens with bright bergamot and quiet nutmeg before settling into a smoky Earl Grey tea heart over sandalwood, patchouli, vetiver, and leather. Fragrantica reviewers describe it as “tart, leathery, mildly sweet” with a “rubbery, strong cedar element”: polarizing for some, but plenty call it the house's best woody fragrance. It's genuinely smoky and leathery, not an actual oud composition. There's no agarwood in the formula.

FAQ

Does Golden Eyes contain real oud?
No. There's no agarwood in the formula. The smoky, resinous depth comes from leather and cedarwood, not oud.

Is it unisex?
Yes, though the leather-forward dry-down reads more traditionally masculine to some wearers.

How long does it last?
4-6 hours with moderate, noticeable sillage. The leather note is the most polarizing and intense part for sensitive noses.

What's the best season?
Fall and winter, when the smoky Earl Grey and leather feel most at home.
