Thomas De Monaco Raw Gold Review

“There is more to sex appeal than just measurements.”  –Audrey Hepburn

“Poetic. Emotional. Authentic.” These are the carefully-chosen words Thomas De Monaco uses to describe his creations. And it shows. After experiencing his 2022 release Eau Couer, I admittedly entered full fanboy mode. In my recent review, my carefully-chosen words were “heart-meltingly beautiful.” And it is. So, I decided to revisit his first release, Thomas De Monaco Raw Gold, which caused quite a stir in the perfume world when it was launched as a limited release in late 2020. Many of those in the know began hoarding backup bottles and whispering its praises as shouting might let out the secret: Raw Gold is sublime.

I’ve learned that Raw Gold was intended to encapsule memories from Mr. De Monaco’s adolescence, the whirlwind years in the late 1960’s and early 1970’s when he, as a young aspiring photographer, was considered unpolished – like Raw Gold. There’s something unpolished (by design) about the fragrance itself, there’s a sensual tension in the opening, resolved in the heart like the penultimate chord in a musical progression released by the tonic. I wonder if Raw Gold may also be a reference to the main ingredient – a multi-faceted aged patchouli which will have patchouli lovers swooning.

Under Thomas De Monaco’s creative direction, Raw Gold was composed by Fredrik Dalman, known for his sumptuous creations for the legendary Mona DiOrio. The fragrance opens with accords of plum liqueur, coffee and vetiver. This triumvirate, orbiting the ambery patchouli, is at once stimulating and cozy, exciting and reassuring. In the heart (wait for it) is the exalted lipstick accord. The lipstick, balanced by notes of leather and suede, never steer the overall composition north or south of genderless; this is a fragrance which can be enjoyed by all. Those looking for an elevated Dior Homme will likely find Raw Gold to be a new Holy Grail.

While Thomas de Monaco Raw Gold may be a reference to the pulsating 60’s and 70’s, it remains knowingly modern. There’s a self-awareness that reflects on youthful escapades with today’s confidence. Sounds sexy, doesn’t it? Well, it is. Raw Gold, with its animalic base of civet and dripping honey, is as sexy as lipstick on the collar of a leather jacket. While this perfume may no longer be a secret, anyone who wears it better know how to keep one.
