Honey, lemon and a crackling open fire
A nice website, where the homepage looks like something sensible and wasn't just put together.
A clear mission, what is to be created with a vision of where the journey should go.
Behind it all is a young, likeable guy who seems to be realizing himself and doing what many might dream of.
So my interest was quickly aroused when I read about an elef. brand travel letter.

Golden Hours opens directly with a strong honey note which is closely followed by tart citrus.fortunately, it is not this extreme forest honey as in Tobacco Honey which was unpleasant for my nose. The honey in Golden Hours also follows this authentic path, but is much more pleasant and wearable for me.the tart freshness of lemon/bergamot fits perfectly and forms a certain counterpart, which harmonizes perfectly and brings a lightness to the fragrance.
It doesn't take long for the vanilla to kick in, creating a certain creaminess.from here on, we get this light gourmand aspect, reminiscent of lemon tartlets, as user "Miquelino" already mentioned.
Of course, this is obviously a sweet fragrance.
But:
A hint of tart freshness from the citric accords is sometimes more - sometimes less perceptible, really well done.
As already mentioned, this cushions the whole thing and never makes it too heavy or overwhelming.
The whole thing is rounded off with balsamic notes that make the fragrance complete.
This adds that heart-warming touch that is so comforting and inviting.

A lot is offered here in terms of fragrance. I have nothing to complain about in terms of quality and fragrance.
It is well thought out, coordinated and finely rounded.
No corners, no edges
- Mega fragrance.

A warm embrace of the senses, with a dash of lemon tart
Hello to all fragrance lovers and those who would like to become one,

i am pleased to share my impressions of the fragrance Golden Hours with you.

First of all:
We received a sample kit from Lieven, for which we would like to thank him in advance. I would like to give my honest, subjective opinion of the fragrance here and I hope you also have the opportunity to get your hands on some of it.

Approach to his fragrance creations:
Each of his fragrances - there are currently four: Limone di Sole, Elysia, Pure Nectar and the one described here, Golden Hours - are intended to capture a particular moment or memory that is particularly close to his heart and that he would like to share with us. You can find more details on his homepage.

About the fragrance itself:
My first impression when I sprayed it on and wore it was: Wow, what a great creation! The fragrance has a unique and interesting DNA that I have never experienced before, even though I have been able to sniff many fragrances before, it was still something unique.

The fragrance is comfortingly warm without being heavy or oppressive. On the contrary, it has a lightness that will make it a great companion not only on cold days, but also on a beautiful summer evening.
When you spray it on, you get a warm, sweet scent that is close to the skin and the citrus notes remind you of a freshly baked lemon tart that has just come out of the oven....simply delicious.
After a while, the top notes fade a little more into the background and the balsamic base notes and the honey and vanilla from the heart notes take on the leading role together and remain present.

Longevity:
The fragrance lasts longer than average on the skin without changing unpleasantly over time, even after hours it retains a pleasant scent that I like to sniff.

Silage:
The silage is ideal - not too heavy to be overpowering and not too light to blend into the crowd. A perfect middle ground that makes Golden Hours wearable both in the office and on social evenings with friends.

Flacon:
Unfortunately, I can't give any precise details about the bottle, but the pictures suggest a high-quality and solid finish that doesn't have to hide behind more expensive brands. Here, too, I have seen and tested much worse from some brands.

Price:
The 50ml bottles are currently available in his store for €150. I am aware that this is not a small amount of money for an unknown niche brand. But considering the time, work and quality that goes into his fragrances, I think the price is absolutely justified, especially as you don't need many sprays of this fragrance to get through the day, as it lasts wonderfully.

Conclusion:
I am impressed by the dedication and love with which Lieven approaches his fragrances and how much heart and soul he has put into his dream of starting his own brand - at just 20 years old. He creates his fragrances completely independently and for that he deserves my utmost respect.

His fragrances are wonderful, independent creations for me, especially Golden Hours, which I can definitely recommend, as I simply love this type of fragrance.... Many thanks for this Lieven.
