What does Far Away Gold smell like?

It opens with ylang-ylang as a floral start, and Jasminum auriculatum comes forward in the heart. Bourbon vanilla dominates the base, settling the scent into a creamy, powdery sweetness. Gourmand and oriental accords are joined by spicy and resinous tones.

Voters rate its longevity and sillage as good. Most pick fall and winter, with nights out and evenings leading the occasions. It reads feminine and classic. Guerlain Spiritueuse Double Vanille and Dior Dior Addict (2014) have a close profile.
