Character and History of the Fragrance
Buchart Colbert Faisan d'Or is a unisex eau de parfum released in 2024.
It was created by the American brand Buchart Colbert, making the composition particularly appealing to those who follow contemporary American perfumery and seek expressive fragrances without a strict gender identity.
The name Faisan d'Or can be translated as “golden pheasant,” and the composition does indeed support this image: the fragrance is built around the warm glow of amber, spicy woody nuances, and the rich sweetness of burnt sugar.
At the same time, it is not simply a gourmand fragrance — smoky, leathery, and mineral nuances add depth and character to the scent.
Olfactive Profile
In terms of mood, Faisan d'Or combines gourmand and spicy accents.
Its overall palette features amber, citrus, leathery, mineral, sweet, and woody nuances, giving the fragrance a full-bodied, multilayered character.
The opening is strikingly contrasting: juicy orange meets a smoky accord and the dense caramel-like sweetness of burnt sugar.
This dramatic opening quickly draws attention, but it does not come across as purely dessert-like — the smoke gives the citrus-sweet accord a drier, more composed character.
As it unfolds, the composition becomes warmer and spicier. Cedarwood supports the spices, while a suede accord softens the transition and adds a textured, slightly velvety quality.
In the base, amber merges with a woody accord and pink pepper. The finish remains warm, spicy, and noticeable, maintaining a balance between sweetness, dry woods, and a subtle peppery edge.
Sillage and Wearability
Faisan d'Or is described as having very strong sillage, so it is designed for a confident presence and is highly noticeable in the air.
It is especially well suited to cool weather, evenings, events, and occasions when you want to emphasize your individuality with a rich perfume accent.
No precise recommendation for the number of sprays on skin or clothing is provided in the available information.
Given its very strong sillage, it is sensible to start with a small number of sprays and assess how it develops on your own skin: the amber-sweet base and smoky-spicy nuances may become especially intense indoors.
As a unisex fragrance, Faisan d'Or will appeal to those who enjoy warm, sweet compositions but expect more than softness from them — including a pronounced spicy, leathery, and woody facet.
On some skin, burnt sugar and amber may come to the fore; on others, cedar, smoke, or spices may dominate. It is therefore worth experiencing the fragrance in person before purchasing a full-size bottle.
