I obtained a sample of this one yesterday when I bought Tom Ford Noir Anthracite.This starts out as a honey bomb. A full blast of pure, subtlety sweet honey. A tad powdery, but to me leans more masculine. I do like this one, but there is something about it I do not like, or rather I am not used to. It smells old (in a weird good way) and can be cloying.
A interesting scent, and I must say I have slept on this house and discovered a line I may perhaps enjoy. This fragrance will have to be worn a few more times to get a full impression, but initially I do like it, but not love it.
6.5/10

I bought Incense Suede from the same collection first, cause its much closer to what I usually wear and like, but I remember sampling this and being really surprised with it. I didn’t know what I was smelling, I don’t have any references from nature of opoponax or broom or acacia or whatever its called. I decided it was good but not for me cause I told myself I don’t wear sweet perfumes.
Well now I guess I do! Golden Acacia was just so mysterious, so warm and summery, so deliciously carnal and yet innocent… I could not resist. I know it probably works better as a winter scent but to me Golden Acacia evokes the languorous midday heat of summer, when the bushes and shrubs and trees on the hillside all bake in their own warm, dry scents, when people siesta indoors and fan themselves to escape the windless heat. To this dry summer haze add some dark, ebony colored undertones to the bottom (is it myrrh? A dab of oud? Theres definitely musk and a healthy squirt of civet lurking in there) and on top, a radiant, biblical honey that seems to stand for all that is good and sweet in the world. I tend to see scents in terms of colors and to me this is a lustrous black highlighted with a golden , molten yellow.
So this is the perfume that charmed away my stubborn “no sweet scents” rule, and now I don’t even know what I like or don’t like anymore. At this rate I’ll be wearing vanilla and tonka bombs by summer. Identity crisis confirmed.

This is a bit too sweet for me but is a lovely musky honey. The patch definitely should rank higher in the notes. That’s what makes it a little skanky.

honied baby powder….yes, old women use baby powder as well, but for me it is amazing, not at all old lady-ish

Ha! I love how the guy below called it skanky! That makes me want to wear it even more. Even tho I ain’t no skank! I layer it with a bit of a leather fragrance. Luxury!

Fragrance Review For Golden Acacia Salvatore Ferragamo
Top Notes: Broom Orange Blossom
Middle Notes: Black Locust Honey Patchouli
Base Notes: Amber Opoponax
This is like finding the world’s largest size honeycomb in the middle of a forest in China or Tibet. With a name like Golden Acacia I assumed it would have a recreation of acacia flower. Not quite. The orange blossom and Genisteae or Broom pairing is what gives this a slight acacia smell, just a little yellow shrub flowery smell. Very nice. It starts off with the acacia scent accomplished by the broom + orange blossom but it’s not a floral fragrance. It quickly develops into honey. It’s a very realistic honeycomb or beeswax scent. Honey for days. And like honey it can also turn into a gooey balsamic oily scent. For a while it became something like argan oil. The other notes in this scent: patchouli, amber and opoponax give this fragrance a decidedly Oriental character. This is definitely an Oriental honey. The patchouli is aromatic and green, and layered with the incense note of opoponax it makes this scent very warm. The amber is also hot and the base notes are all there on the dry down when it’s a warmed up scent of honey and amber. This is not always easy to wear. First of all it’s a honey bomb. Pow! It’s strong enough to attract bees to your skin, bees from another continent. But my God does it smell good. It’s luxurious, expensive smelling and Oriental. It doesn’t wear like a traditional Oriental or oud it’s just a very fragrant honey from Asia. Gorgeous. Perfect for winter and the coldest times of the year.

Update: this is a very oily dense dark parfum – it stains my skin and light clothing. Fantastic. But be careful with the application!
Ceftemainna – :
This is surprisingly tart, not really what I expected, but it does smell amazing after 3-4 hrs
SamForester – :
Shocking. First word that comes to mind.
This is a sticky sweet blast of honey – straight from a comb even.
Raw, yet refined.
Linear with the best dry down of any fragrance I have committed to memory. this is undeniable and lovely, long lasting, elegant stuff.
WOW.

Orginaldeftom hit this one on the nail with the opening blast of honey mixed with opoponax, myrrh and patchouli. When you smells this juice you would think that it’s the nectar from the ancient Greek God’s. Amber is the last perfect ingredient that makes this juice everything you want. The overall vib gives you a luxurious, elegant and sexy aroma. There’s just a smig of floral notes to balance this fragrance.
Longevity and Silage is excellent lasting over 8hrs
Finally,
If someone told me that I would spend close to two hundred dollars or more for a fragrance, I would of told them no f * * * * way. Well I did and without any hesitation. A very creamy warm almost vanilla vib to this GEM. I will buy another bottle after this one is almost empty.
This juice is excellent during the fall / winter months making it a very deep long lasting aroma. If you spray it once on your chest/body before going to bed with your partner and I can guarantee you that you won’t have enough energy to go to work the next day. Definitely a real nieche EDP fragrance. Easy…10/10

This is probably the strongest scent out of all the Tuscan Soul scents. It’s a boozy honey bomb that lasts forever! This isn’t for me, much too brass and in your face.

This scent is something which kept me intriguing.
I was literally unable to remove my hand from sniffing it every 5minutes.
Its highly addictive perfume.
If you love spicy honey combination here you are,
Masterpiece from Salvatore Ferragamo…
LOve it so much on my first wearing that too one spray…
Am totally head over heels for this fragrance.
Longevity: 12hours
Sillage: POwer Bomb

“Golden Acacia” is a loud, crude slattern of a perfume; Musky, skanky honey and opopponax, embracing a sharp sweet floral note on a bed of powdery amber and dank patchouli.
It’s extremely dense. Definitely not masculine and definitely not for younger women. It’s like a fat gypsy cougar making eyes at you…. o_0

Bought this one yesterday.
I wanted something different than the Ouds and fresh’s etc.
I sampled this one a while back but it took some time to grow on me. The honey is there, its very sweet. But it’s different. I love it but it’s not typical. Maybe not for everyone. Sample before you buy it. In Canada it’s $270, so you want to be sure. 😉

I love it! Funnily enough it was Bulgari’s “Man” that made me fall in love with honey notes. But in “Man” it is obviously far more subtle.
This is a HONEY BOMB! I mean literally, imagine you fall head first into an entire beehive, surrounded by Broom bushes and Acacia trees in full bloom.
There is a slight furniture polish note in there as well, perhaps it’s the faint patchouli. It is just so divine.
I can imagine this to work brilliantly with a mimosa soliflore fragrance for layering. Perhaps add any Mimosa to this or another Neroli based frag, perhaps even a rose and this will glow on forever.
True honey-dripping and opoponax heavy drenched juice of radiant golden skin sexiness.
There is some apothecary honey lozenge quality to it but it is just too “pretty” to be just labelled as gourmand.
A pleasant surprise from a house that until recently had rather lacklustre releases. Kudos to the mastermind of this collection. The bottles are also fantastic and I am so gonna buy this next week!
10/10 for a reference honey scent. Truly epic.

Shocking. Unconventional. Sharp.
Smell like a beast… a bear dirty of beeswax.
I mean I like someway.
But it is really borderline.
Smell like the skin or maybe the house of a dirty old woman.. museum scent.
