Three steps to wear it
01
Warm skin
Apply right after your shower, while skin is warm and slightly damp.
I love this fragrance and so nice on skin. Not greasy, skin feels soft, and honestly feel this is better for you than regular perfume. Definitely buying more
I have been enjoying wearing GOLDEN HOUR every day! It has become my base fragrance; I love pairing it with another fragrance that I wear daily. I have fine, straight, fly-away hair; I even add GOLDEN HOUR to my hair.
I LOVE IT!!!
Surprisingly, I have received compliments from total strangers. š¤
This is the Golden Hour-Fall Version that i bought on September 2, 2026
Golden Hour is the most wonderful blend i have. I have 17 Garden Alchemy blends so far. I wear 7 of them over and over: Ivory Aura, Lumiere Sorbet, Nebula Noir, Forbidden Fig, Blushing Bloom, Cereal Killer, Pissed and Peachy.
Golden Hour Fall version is like fall in a bottle. Right away itās a yummy, buttery scent. Then it becomes citrussy with orange and yuzu. Itās subtley sweet like an apple. And then as it dries it becomes a maple orange bundt cake.
Itās yummy and itās Autumn.
Golden Hour has moved up to my number #1.
You will not be disappointed. š
I have to agree with Deborah P. Review. I bought 3 bottles of this thinking it would smell like the older golden hour (no Iām not talking about the fall one). Iām not sure what changed as far as ingredients/scent notes? The older scent (to me) smelled sweeter/brighter & stronger.
I was disappointed that it did not smell anything like the Golden Hour I already have! Im not sure if the notes changed. I was really looking forward to the same scent!
Golden hour reminds me of French toast on a Saturday morning. Smell is slightly sweet with a warm finish. Hydrate the skin perfectly and layers so good with shea body butter. I donāt recall ever feeling this soft
When I first smelled it out of the bottle, it smelled like the movie popcorn lolā¦ But after I applied it on the skin, I could definitely smell orange and it smelled just like fall. I paired it with Ivory Aura and it made it smell even better.
Even though the formulation is 5-star, I personally cannot smell this one! I really just smell the oil, no fragrance, though others say it's a little fruity, kind of floral. So wish I could actually smell this š
I only have this one 3 stars, as I can't smell any fragrance to it at all, nor does my boyfriend... Of course, the GARDEN ALCHEMY CUSTOMER SERVICE team is amazing, and the oil still gives my skin the silkiest, most hydrated feeling, I'm a hard core fan of these oils, regardless of the oddly absent scent. I'm confident the team will help me out and I'll be sure to come back and update this review!!
The spring/summer version is reminiscent of the heavenly scent of D&G's Devotion, so amazing! Citrus notes linger with creamy gourmond bases. I cant ever be without this one. Thanks for another amazing product, Riley and GA team!
I have loved every scent so far. This is my first citrus one and I like it a lot. It softens down beautifully. Worth trying if you arenāt sure about citrus scents.
Listen, if you live for a gourmand, this is might just be a holy grail fragrance for you. Sheās giving being awoken by warm rays of autumn sun and wafting aromas of pancake breakfasts. Not *my* fave, yet I get compliments about how delicious I smell.
Iāve tried quite a few oils and this is by far my favorite. Itās so hard to describeā¦itās very mystic and unique, sweet, cinnamon, elegant. I canāt wait until it comes back in stock! Iām out and slowly dying without it!
