LEATHERY
Today tobacco is a more forbidden pleasure than alcohol. It is to this rare olfactive family that Marc-Antoine Corticchiato’s composition belongs.
Refreshed by a mojito accord (rum, mint and lime), this suave blond tobacco is enhanced with the liqueur-like richness of immortelle and the hay/almond facets of liatrix and tonka bean.A smooth oriental leather rubbed with rich amber deepens this tawny palette.

This is the fifth perfume Antoine Lie has made for Puredistance and just like his other creations for Puredistance, GOLD exactly matches the feeling we had in heart. We have given Antoine carte blanche to use the very best ingredients and so he did. GOLD is a veritable feast of the rarest and most precious natural ingredients.
Perfume Extrait: 36% perfume oil.
One of the world’s rarest and most expensive spices, cool, fresh Cardamom joins fiery Pink Pepper, Ginger and Bergamot in an explosive blend of top notes that immediately enliven the senses.
Rich oil derived from the heart of the Iris flower – a symbol of strength – produces a smooth and silky centre, around which agile notes of Violet and Cinnamon pique the senses, summoning the rich textures of the bazaar.
Coarser textures of Vetiver and Tree moss are sweetened by the delicate touch of Vanilla, balancing the hotter tones of Cinnamon above to create an earthy base reminiscent of the dewy ground at daybreak.
The scent of the desert wind blowing over the pepper and spice trade routes, steeped in their fragrances, merges with fresh citrussy notes for a unique, refined effect. Memories of the Orient and of markets overlooking the Mediterranean. Fresh, aromatic and spicy.
