Old school is the best school
In the modern era of parfumery, everything must smell gourmandy, citrussy or packed with ambroxan .. because, mainstream.
In the past, according to my humble opinion, there was much more courage in the creations and the perfumers were rebels with high matematical precision and extraordinary taste for the times.
Guy Robert, started to get his feet wet with perfumery when his uncle was directing the Chanel perfumes department and from then onwards, he created awesome scents like: Equipage, Gucci Man and Gold Man/Woman from Amouage.
The connection between Gold man and Chanel No. 5 is there, and I love it.
The Sultan of Oman, Qaboos bin Said was offering bottles of Gold Man, in real Gold & Crystal bottles to dignitaries and head of states when they were visiting, now any mortal - including myself can access this complexity also for a decent price.
The modern Gold Man is as good as the one from 10 years ago, non-magentic and it lasts forever on the clothes. I believe it requires an experienced nose, it´s not for a begginer or someone who likes simple citrussy mainstream scents.
But if you are someone who appreciates complexity and you are confident enough to not care about funny looks now and then, give this gorgeous scent a try.
RIP Guy Robert: 2012.
