Sophisticated Boozy Woody Timelessness: Naughton & Wilson Old Money Eau de Parfum
Evoke the quiet confidence of inherited elegance with a sparkling aldehyde-citrus burst laced with maraschino cherry sweetness and green clary sage herbal crispness, unfolding into a rich heart of bourbon whiskey, tobacco leaf, iris powder, and spicy clove over dried fruits and cashmere wood softness, settling into a luxurious suede-oak-amber base with patchouli, tonka bean, vetiver, and mossy chypre grounding in Naughton & Wilson Old Money Eau de Parfum, launched in 2025 as a refined masculine statement from the British house (masculine, woody aromatic, timeless appeal)—expertly composed by John Stephen to blend classic fougère structure with boozy gourmand richness and smoky-leathery depth. Widely praised as a smooth, high-quality woody with prominent maraschino cherry fruitiness, bourbon whiskey booziness, and tobacco-iris powdery sophistication, it's often hailed as a modern classic—merging bright aldehydic-citrus lift with opulent boozy heart and dark woody-mossy base, addictive refinement, and strong performance in a contemporary, understated luxurious composition.
This elegant fragrance opens with a luminous, aldehydic surge of bergamot, bitter orange, maraschino cherry, aldehydes, clary sage, black pepper, juniper berry, cypress, and galbanum for an immediate, sparkling lift that's fresh and intriguing, then transitions into a heart of cashmere wood, bourbon whiskey, iris, carnation, cedar, tobacco, clove, dried fruits, geranium, and labdanum for creamy, boozy-resinous layers that feel opulent and captivating, finally grounding in a base of suede, oak, amber, patchouli, cedar, tonka bean, vetiver, musk, and moss for leathery, earthy depth with lingering, masculine allure. It’s citrusy yet boozy, fresh yet smoky, bold yet refined—like maraschino cherry-bergamot fizz laced with clary sage herbs over bourbon whiskey-tobacco richness, anchored in suede-oakmoss that lingers as a confident, timeless aura of quiet wealth.
It bursts with maraschino cherry-clary sage—sweet, aldehydic, and strikingly luminous with fresh lift. The heart reveals bourbon whiskey and tobacco, crafting a boozy, powdery core that’s balanced, rich, and captivating. It dries down to a leathery, lingering suede-oakmoss embrace—earthy, woody, and subtly grounding—creating an enduring, masculine trail that’s luxurious, versatile, and endlessly sophisticated.
