The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Launched in 2016, Gold II by WIDIAN is an Oriental Floral fragrance created by perfumers Ali Aljaberi and Jean-Claude Astier. The composition opens with elemi and saffron, offering a bright aromatic lift that contrasts beautifully with the warm amber and vanilla base notes. The heart of rose and orange blossom adds a delicate floral touch, creating a balance between freshness and warmth. This fragrance captures the essence of modern elegance, blending crisp citrus elements with rich, enveloping spices.

How to wear it

Gold II develops its full depth within an hour, so apply two sprays to let it bloom naturally. It’s better suited for cooler evenings as the warm spicy notes can become too intense in warmer weather.
