The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Golden Wood by The Harmonist was launched in 2020 with a composition crafted by perfumer Guillaume Flavigny. This fragrance opens with bright citrus notes of mandarin orange, bitter orange, and bergamot, which create an immediate sense of warmth and brightness. As it settles into the heart, beeswax and pear add layers of honeyed sweetness and subtle fruitiness, while guaiac wood and oak bring a rich woody depth that feels both earthy and refined. The base notes of tonka bean, amber, and cabreuva anchor the scent with a warm, enveloping musk that lingers long after the initial freshness fades.

How to wear it

Start with one or two sprays on pulse points — the bright citrus notes are quick to evaporate but leave behind a warm woody base that lingers. This fragrance reads best close to skin rather than filling a room, so apply it as needed throughout the day for consistent warmth.
