Russian Soul
What does "Open Gold" have to do with Russia? I can't say for sure, but that's how I feel.
This is a wonderfully spicy fragrance, just as I imagine the scent of the seemingly endless taiga and the forests there. Although I have never been there.
Woods, grasses, spices, flowers, above all clove, rose, and jasmine at its heart, and leather like the jackets and boots of Cossacks in the "old Tsarist Empire".
I see the onion domes of the Kremlin before me, the square in front covered in snow, a large weekly market with everything the heart desires, for the rich and the less fortunate.
A medley of spices, fabrics, vegetables, and fruits, tea kept hot in samovars, offered against the cold, to warm up. With cloves and cinnamon.
Fiery, cheerful, and equally melancholic songs echo through the streets and alleys.
Away from the big city, villages with simple-living inhabitants, who despite poverty often live to be over 100 years old.
Scents of the East mixed with those of the West in a vast country.
Like hot fire and icy frost. Like delicate blossoms and huge trees.
Like sensitive gold craftsmanship and rough blacksmith work.
Like opposites that belong together. Like the "Russian soul" hard and heartfelt, introspective and exuberant... and ... and ... and... like "Open Gold".

The nice one in the Open family. Understanding with life experience. A shoulder to cry on and cuddle. And a bit rough-sexy...

All 4 OPENs are nice.
This is the most recent one:
A bit of citrus & sweetness, a bit of spice & wood
Everything is quite rounded & beautiful;
Guerlain for the little guy!

I can hardly believe it, but I don't really like it. Spicy tonka sweetness with very soapy aspects. Old-school, which feels too dated for me.

Spicy woody soap with a hint of leather, lovely. I would definitely wear it too.

Smells like the late 70s, early 80s. Tart opening, aromatic woody, slightly soapy, spicy finish. Very distinctive.

It starts fresh-herbaceous-green, then becomes a powdery-soapy wood scent with a hint of leather and minimal sweetness.
Clear 70s vibe.

First herb-citrusy-green, slightly grassy & subtly hay-like with a cool, herbal anise spiciness. Powdery tonka adds warmth. Old school with a modern twist.

Compared to 'Open', it has a finer spiciness. Pleasant sweetness, more cinnamon than leather. Smells similar to CK's Obsession. A bit more robust. Great!
