Golden Green: fresh, spicy coffee with powdery leather
This Golden Green is somehow reminiscent of a couple of scents. However, it’s the coffee note that you can feel ever so slightly, but strong enough to make it a wonderful and original scent.
So, there’s the nutmeg, cardamom and pepper that will initially bring to mind Sauvage Elixir. But from the very beginning, it is just that: reminiscent. Not similar.
Then, after 20 minutes I completely thought about the new Aquila Absolute . The heart of both fragrances contains the leather and labdanum accord. I first tested Aquila, and I wondered which might be that accord that, to me, smells like a pack of dried fruits has been opened for so long that they turned bland and powdery. Well, I can see now it is leather and labdanum. In AA, we get more of this powdery / sweet leather as it is complemented by the raspberry. Saint Rémy is more powdery on the leather, but the accord is the same.
Anyway, "Coffee Break - Golden Green | XerJoff" breaks with the protagonism of it thanks to the fresh coffee beans, and so it remains: Fresh, spicy, coffee, leathery, semi-powdery.
It is not a master scent, but it’s great enough and wonderfully blended to make me want to spray til the last drop, before I have to make the decision of getting a full bottle. I just might.
