Raw Gold 2023 — Precious Woody Depth
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.
The Scent Pyramid and Its Character
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.
Sillage and Wearability
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.
Who Will Enjoy Raw Gold 2023
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.
