Gold Knight is a honeyed delight for those that treasure perfumes which are brutishly sweet yet unique at the same time. This is definitely a scent which may not be for everyone, but for sure will have you standing out from the crowd. Even now I’m not 100% sure I love it, but it keeps pulling me back in to explore it further. The most dominating note here is the aniseed - which is intensely dry and earthy, with its sharp and bitter facets highlighted beautifully by bergamot and patchouli. Sweet, sticky honey and creamy vanilla aim to balance this very well, but are unable to hide the liquorice-like accord of the aniseed. Because of this unusual note, I can imagine many people disliking this one. As I said I’m not sure if I love it, as I’m not sure if I would want to smell like aniseed all day. Despite that though, it’s a fantastic creation and something that I’ve really not smelled before.
