The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Launched in 2019 by WIDIAN, Gold II Sahara is an Oriental Floral fragrance crafted by perfumer Jean-Claude Astier. The composition opens with elemi and saffron, bringing a bright aromatic freshness that contrasts beautifully with the rich warmth of rose and orange blossom. This interplay continues as amber and vanilla provide a comforting base layer, while musk and cedar add depth and complexity.

How to wear it

Gold II Sahara is best applied lightly — one spray to start. The elemi and saffron top notes are fleeting but vibrant, so let them settle before you add another layer if needed. This fragrance is particularly suited for cooler evenings when the warm base notes can truly shine.
