The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Gold I by WIDIAN was launched in 2016 and was created by perfumers Ali Aljaberi and Jean-Claude Astier. This Oriental fragrance opens with a bright burst of apple and pepper, combining freshness with warmth. The heart of white flowers and agarwood (oud) adds depth and complexity, while the base notes of musk, vanilla, amber, and sandalwood create a rich, enveloping finish. Gold I is neither overly sweet nor heavy, striking a balance between fresh spiciness and luxurious warmth.

How to wear it

Apply Gold I to pulse points for a lingering warmth that builds over time. The apple and pepper top notes are bright but fleeting, so focus on allowing the musky base notes to develop close to the skin. This fragrance is best worn in cooler weather when its rich base can fully unfold.
