Pearl of the Orient
Today I finally wanted to find out: Are the original "Knize Ten" and the "Golden Edition" one and the same fragrance, just differently packaged? Or does the gold edition actually have its own golden heart? So I sniffed both side by side.

And the answer is: "Knize Ten Golden Edition" stands out from the original more than I ever imagined. It already has much of the character of an Eau de Parfum - even if a traditional brand like Knize may have refrained from this renaming for brand strategy reasons. The difference is roughly like having "Dior Homme" in its lighter version or in the concentrated form. The leathery-herbaceous notes of the original blend much more strongly with a lovely Damask rose scent, but also with a slightly caramelized cedarwood-musk-castoreum note; the whole thing leans slightly towards the oriental. As a result, the fragrance appears rounder and fuller overall and surpasses the original in its overwhelming effect. However, it still manages, and this is the real feat, to feel surprisingly light-footed.

But it also becomes more perfumey, powdery - and those who worship the animalistic macho of the original may not quite connect with this variation. However, for those who want to elevate the masculine Chanel No. 5 to new heights, the "Knize Ten Golden Edition" comes highly recommended!

Tarred and not feathered..
I wanted to get a sample of Knize Ten, but only realized at home that the nice lady had given me the Gold edition. What can I say, it blew me away.....
What have I not read about it, studied the ingredients, imagined sniffing the individual components in my mind, blending them together..but..
it hit me like a punch to the gut, no warming up, no citrus prelude, rose? cinnamon? clove?...nothing....everything flattened by a heavy, fat roller rolling over fresh hot tar...it nearly singed my nose hairs...incredible, I thought, how can anyone like this...there’s nothing friendly, nothing cozy about it....with two sprays, you turn into a sweating street worker...not even in color..the film rolls in black and white...fresh tar in midsummer, ribbed undershirt...tanned arms..no, that’s not really my thing...I prefer my tweed jacket...;-)

my grandpa in gardening clothes
Today I hijacked a fragrant Easter egg for my girlfriend and also received a sample of the Knize Ten Gold Edition.

I had to smile because my grandpa always wore Knize Ten, and it occurred to me: Oldies but Goldies.

But this golden piece would have suited my grandfather well too, as it is uncompromising and masculine.
Made for men with a mind of their own.

Grandpa always liked to be "a bit out of place," as he himself admitted.
For him, as a rider, it was an expression with a double meaning.

The scent breathes his riding boots and the bridle he took exemplary care of.
His horses as well - the relationship was characterized by respect and mutual affection.
I liked to take a slice of his behavior - but I guess I'm not such a natural person of respect.

But gold also has a green aspect that shows me my ancestor in gardening clothes.
He could also get his hands dirty there, and his plot honored his work with a bountiful harvest.
A green garden scent wafts in, topped with delicate floral sweetness.

Yes, I could also easily wrap the rugged gentleman around my finger, for a soft heart beat in his broad chest.

In essence, we are not so dissimilar, as I keep noticing.

It's nice that the Gold Edition sends me these touching memories.

This is how I want to smell as a man!
Oh yes! The Knize Ten Golden Edition is one of those fragrances that seems to come from another time. This is simply not a modern scent; it feels very old-fashioned but truly masculine - just my thing! I received a compliment or two for it, and with a longevity of about 12 hours, it's impressive. The sillage is also not to be overlooked.

The top note smells extremely exciting. Here, fresh citrus-fruity aromas of bergamot, lemons, and oranges combine with green and herbal hints of rosemary and petitgrain. The heart note also smells extraordinary. On one hand, there are woody aromas of sandalwood and cedar, but on the other hand, there are floral notes of geraniums, garden carnations, iris, and violets. Additionally, there’s an oriental sweetness from nutmeg and a good amount of cinnamon. The base is also convincing. It has an animalistic scent of castoreum, a masculine leather note, and an earthy aroma of oakmoss. Amber and bourbon vanilla provide the crowning finish.

Did I hear Barbershop? Yup yup yup! I really think the Knize Ten Golden Edition is fantastic! Thank you dear Jana for the sample :-)

You Are in the Right Place!
Forget the flower in the scent direction...

Forget the warm season...

Just be a man....

Defy modernity....

Gentle nod?

Then go for it... Knize Ten pleased our great-grandfathers, our grandfathers, our fathers, and us too, as long as you gently and approvingly nod while browsing through these lines!

Odd smelling I've tried my best to like it but IMO it's average at best but has very good performance.

Maybe I'm just not myself right now, but I really don't notice any differences between this and the regular Knize. Max. A bit weaker.

A spicy men's fragrance that reminds of classic perfumes from long-gone days, without modern synthetics.

M.E. the difference to Knize Ten isn't that big: a bit softer, but still not really tamed. It doesn't just want to play.

Citrusy start,
birch tar with flowers
transforms the scent
into warm, soft leather, with a hint of shaving cream!
Very chic!

Citrus and herbs blend with soapy flowers and cinnamon, then shift into a leathery, mossy 80s vintage base. Beautiful!

Always a pleasure, as the Oldschool Barbershop in the Knize Deluxe version can simply be cool, mild-herb, herbal-bitter & amber-rosy.

Leather made in the spice factory, dominant, zesty at the start, spicy, smoky, and leathery in the drydown. Gentlemen only.

Despite its more modern appearance, it hasn't lost any of its distinctive charm. For me, the better choice.

After about 10 minutes, a classic that has a freshness in the leather and spicy components for me. Minimal green adds a hint of sweetness.
