G for Green Herbaceous
... which one might not suspect considering the name and classification in the floral-oriental fragrance category. Nevertheless, Must de Cartier Gold begins similarly, with a slightly resinous touch; one might almost suspect a rugged mossiness, which can be attributed to the galbanum. And despite this initial note, which is more reminiscent of a chypre, the fragrance never appears bitter nor does one fall under the illusion of facing a chypre; rather, this start surprises due to the expectation of an overwhelming presence of flowers and spices typical of an oriental fragrance, immediately arousing the curiosity of the wearer.
O for Original
For this is already the beginning with its herbaceous greenness, which, together with a slowly developing oriental-floral note, comes across as very opulent and lush, even if it initially operates in the background, opening the fragrance. The green bitterness is thus contrasted with a delicate loveliness, not to be confused with sweetness, which paradoxically complements each other excellently. Moreover, the mossy herbaceousness only lasts briefly before gently but steadily gliding into a balsamic quality. At the same time, spices are perceptible, difficult to differentiate, although cinnamon and cardamom can be discerned, accompanied by a subtle, unsweetened vanilla. This makes the oriental aspect more noticeable, reminiscent of an oriental spice market, accompanied by continuously unfolding floral scents. One also seems to perceive a certain citrus-fresh note, mandarin in its sweet, juicy form, with golden-orange juice dripping into this fragrant beginning, without playing a leading role.
L for Leisurely Stroll
Ultimately, the wearer feels as if they are leisurely strolling through a lush garden filled with fully bloomed flowers that exude a heavy and sweet scent, without being overwhelming or developing an unpleasant indolic quality; rather, they release an enchanting fragrance that seamlessly integrates into the balsamic spice, intertwining with it and creating a perfect harmony of scents. In this mentioned garden, fruits can also be sensed, mandarins, but also, as time goes on, rather ripe peaches, although more at the edges of this garden, so that this scent only appears in waves, as if a light breeze occasionally passes through the garden's tangle, carrying these aromas to the leisurely strolling person. Equally irregular, yet consistent, is the green-herbaceous resinousness in connection with a bourbon vanilla note, freshly scraped from the pod, still present, becoming more balsamic again and ending almost creamy with green sprinkles.
D for Diva-like
Thus, this fragrance characterizes itself until its end, where all its components merge into an olfactory interlocking unity, becoming velvety-soft, balsamic-creamy with a hint of sandalwood, finely spicy and heavily sweetly blooming. A perfume that, like a diva, loves the grand entrance, demands space and attention, calls for the red carpet, shimmers multifacetedly in the spotlight, and is equally profound behind the facade.
