Thomas de Monaco Raw Gold 2023 is a niche unisex fragrance in extrait de parfum concentration.
The release belongs to the Extraits Uniques collection by Thomas de Monaco, a brand known for its focus on expressive compositions and a high concentration of perfume ingredients.
The name Raw Gold 2023 itself refers to the idea of unprocessed gold: radiant, dense and natural, yet still rich in complex texture.
The fragrance is presented as unisex, so its character is not tied to traditional gender boundaries.
At the heart of the composition is a woody-oriental character complemented by balsamic, leathery, green, floral and gourmand nuances.
This is not a light everyday spray, but a distinctive perfumery accent for those who appreciate a rich development and enjoy a fragrance that creates a special atmosphere around its wearer.
Raw Gold 2023 was composed by Maurus Bachmann. The composition combines benzoin, cedar, davana, guaiac wood, iris, Laotian oud, patchouli, a suede accord and vanilla.
The top, middle and base notes are not listed separately, so it is more accurate to view the fragrance as a unified, multilayered formula.
The impression begins with spicy balsamic density and gradually unfolds into dry woody shades.
Cedar, guaiac wood and Laotian oud create a deep framework, patchouli adds earthy expressiveness, while iris and davana make the scent softer and more vibrant.
Suede lends the composition a velvety leathery touch, while vanilla and benzoin round out the finish with warm, resinous sweetness.
Raw Gold 2023 is rated as having very strong sillage.
Even a small amount of the fragrance can create a noticeable aura around the wearer, making the composition especially suitable for cool weather, evenings, formal occasions and spaces where expressive perfumery is appreciated.
For the office or a small room, it is best applied sparingly so that its woody-balsamic richness remains elegant.
The available information does not specify exact recommendations for applying it to skin or clothing.
In practice, it is best to start with one spray on the skin and assess the intensity after a few minutes; another spray can be added if necessary.
Applying it to fabric usually improves longevity and extends the scent, but the delicacy of the material should be taken into account beforehand.
This fragrance will appeal to women and men who enjoy dark woody compositions with an oriental temperament, a soft leathery texture and a warm resinous facet.
It develops beautifully on the skin, where the woody notes gradually blend with the rounded quality of vanilla and the dry green character of davana.
Raw Gold 2023 can be chosen as a striking evening fragrance or as a personal signature scent for the autumn and winter season.
In mood, the composition may appeal to fans of Pierre Guillaume Paris 20.1 Sorong: both fragrances are intended for those who appreciate expressive niche perfumery, although Raw Gold 2023 places greater emphasis on its dense woody, oud and suede facets.
This is a choice for those seeking not universal transparency, but a distinctive fragrance with a strong presence and rich development.
The fragrance is very long-lasting, staying on the skin for 12 hours or more, gradually revealing its notes
The scent will linger in the air even after its wearer has left.
The perfume has a rich aroma that will help you stand out from the crowd and create a memorable image
The most concentrated form of perfume with a deep, multifaceted composition, exceptional durability, and an expressive trail
Perfumes for the fall and winter seasons often contain notes of vanilla, spices, ambergris, wood, and other warm accords, creating a feeling of comfort and warmth during the cold months
The individual top, middle, and base notes are not specified, so the pyramid is perceived as a single, multilayered accord.
Woody and oud nuances create a rich foundation, while resins and vanilla add warmth with a subtly gourmand character.
Davana and iris contribute green and powdery nuances, suede softens the composition with a velvety leather texture, and benzoin enhances its oriental balsamic character.
As a result, Raw Gold 2023 unfolds with depth, volume, and a striking presence, maintaining a balance between dry woodiness, soft sweetness, and dark resinous warmth.
