What does Gold Cologne / Amouage Gentlemen's Cologne smell like?

It opens with orange and lemon, the citrus notes carrying the freshness. At the heart, rose, geranium, ylang-ylang and jasmine add a full floral layer. The base of amber, Omani white frankincense, patchouli and sandalwood pulls it towards a powdery, resinous and faintly animalic warmth.

Longevity is rated very strong and sillage good, though the number of votes is small, so these ratings are only a tendency. It reads as masculine. Karl Lagerfeld KL Homme and Lanvin Arpège (1993) have a close profile.
