Honeyed delirius
Raw gold extrait is pure poetry.

A hyper intense release of honey, mixed with davana and attacked notes. Sweet and animalic elevated to maximum power.

Little by little it enters its heart of patchouli and leather, without losing at any time that power that the honeyed notes give it.

As it softens, the woody notes gain strength.

Raw gold also gives us dirty and dark touches of tobacco and aromas like coffee.

When I tried it for the first time it reminded me a lot of L'envol de Cartier, with that characteristic mixture of iris and honey, but in this case with much more strength, much better performance and with a much more dynamic development.

It is becoming one of my favorite perfumes without a doubt, and very noticeably improves on its predecessor in the edp version.

I think it's a bomb for the night, ideal for winter.

Call me if outside's cold
Slightly liqueur-like opening, with a vaguely bitter note.
Afterwards, the dustiness of iris and leather becomes perceptible, with a nice vanilla in the background and vaguely smoke note (due probably to laotian oud)
Suitable for summer evenings with the right context, as well as for wider use during cooler periods.
Huge Performances so two sprays are enough to last all day.

P.s. the version pre-reformulation (of which I am talking about) contains laotian oud, even if in a very small dosage

A night at Playboy Mansion
We are in the eighties, there is an amazing and exclusive party in a penthouse in Beverly Hills, California. A man drinks a single malt whisky; he is seated on a chesterfield sofa near a pretty blonde girl with a red lipstick.
This fragrance evokes the luxurious 80’s.
It opens slightly boozy with a dusty orris, the scent become warm and depth with patchouli and suede accord. The drydown is pleasant with a nice vanilla and benzoin.

The Definitive Vanilla
An enveloping fragrance where an excellent quality of Vanilla Absolute stands out, surrounded by a game of contrasts between the creamy nuances of benzoin, Laos Oud and Iris Absolute and the spicyness of Davana Oil and Saffron Absolute.
Have been made over the years, perfumes based on Vanilla trying to not make it obvious or redundant, almost never succeeding.
Raw Gold by Thomas de Monaco is THE Vanilla perfume without beeing a Vanilla Perfume, is rich, complex, extremely long lasting and relaxing.
A true Jewel.

The name says it all
Raw Gold is a fragrance that you may not necessarily like when you first smell it. But I don't think that's what it wants. It smells so atypical and strong that you almost shy away from it. It smells very coarse at first, or rather, very raw...

This is where exactly what I mean in my title comes into play. Shortly after spraying it on - after this "raw" phase - the fragrance becomes wonderfully opulent and very fine but still remains dense. This phenomenon happens again and again while wearing the fragrance: the scent rises very strongly and aggressively in the nose and becomes soft and very pleasing in a fraction of a second.

However, this does not mean that the fragrance is harmless. It remains on the skin and especially on clothing for a very long time and projects what it can. Other fragrances around it hardly stand a chance of being smelled. You definitely stand out with the fragrance, but mostly in a positive way.

To refer to the title again: The two words should be considered separately. The fragrance is raw at first and then quickly turns into olfactory gold.

Raw Gold to me is like an affair. Sexy, warm, an adventurous spirit. Kisses, whiskey, leather jackets and lipstick stains on the glass.

This is a pure, liquid gold. Lustful, provocative. Even if notes are kinda different than in 1st formulation, both are similar.

This transports me to the 80's in a luxury limousine, with a blonde top model next to me with lipstick on and a Louis Vuitton 1000$ bag

Whiskey is so strong that this is unfortunately totally unwearable for me. All other notes are hidden on my skin. The quality is amazing.
