Gold Knight by By Kilian, released in 2017 and composed by Pascal Gaurin, is a dense honey and vanilla gourmand for men. Everyone describes it as sweet, and about half also as spicy, woody and citrus. It is one of the house's richer masculines and is well rated.

Bergamot and anise open it, a bright citrus start with the liquorice-like sweetness of anise setting the tone. The heart is honey and vanilla, thick, golden and slightly animalic in the way good honey notes can be, and this is what dominates for most of its life. The base is patchouli alone, which brings a dry, earthy depth that stops the sweetness from becoming flat.

Most wearers call it long lasting and about a third say it is eternal; half report strong projection. Winter and autumn lead the season votes, and it is chosen mainly for the evening. It suits cold nights, formal occasions and anyone who likes a sweet, boozy-feeling scent, though it is best applied lightly in close company.
