Golden Boy Dueto Parfums 2011

Of all the scents, I've tried so far, composed on this theme - mainly Tuscan Leather, Aoud Leather, La Yuqawam - Golden Boy is the one I like the most, followed by the Montale. The other two have a dominant Raspberry note which goes super-sweet on me that I don't like. But here the violet leaf & saffron blend adds a potent dash of spiciness to the mix which is really quite sexy. A warm cloud of smoky soft-florals, spices and suede - on a creamy-smooth musky vanillic base. Quite linear but with solid performance - lasts all day while projecting beautifully within your space.

Definitely worth a try if you like scents based on this theme or if you think stuff like TL is stupidly overpriced.

8.5/10
