What does Gold smell like?
Longevity is good and sillage moderate. A longevity rating of around seven means it stays noticeable through the day, while the sillage keeps close to the skin, so it suits quiet settings and close company. It reads equally well on men and women.
It opens with bergamot and lemon zest for a bright citrus lift, while cardamom and lotus tint it green. In the heart, rose absolute joins violet and blackcurrant, turning sweeter and adding a powdery softness. White musk and almond blossom leave a creamy, clean finish.
