Golden Eyes

Golden Eyes, from Floraïku in 2021, is a woody fragrance with a spiced, green and leathery character, made to be worn by anyone. Tea is the thread that ties it together.

Bergamot and pink pepper open it with a bright, slightly fizzy spice, while nutmeg adds a warmer, kitchen-cabinet note. Black tea then comes forward, giving a dry, smoky, slightly tannic feel, softened by a lighter, more leafy tea note. Leather lends a supple, darker texture in the middle. The base rests on cedar, sandalwood, vetiver and patchouli: dry pencil wood, creamy smoothness, an earthy, rooty edge and a touch of soil.

The overall mood is calm and thoughtful rather than showy. It suits office days, quiet evenings and the cooler months, when spiced woods feel most at home, though the tea and citrus keep it from feeling heavy. People who like tea fragrances with a darker, woody finish should find plenty to enjoy here.
