What does Gold Temptation smell like?

Bergamot, pear and basil give a fresh start. Cardamom, ginger and pepper bring spice to the heart. The base leans on chocolate, vanilla, suede and amber, with cedarwood and musk adding a woody, slightly powdery, leathery footing. The overall impression is sweet and synthetic.

Longevity and sillage are moderate. Most voters pick autumn and winter, and very few choose summer. It leans towards evenings and leisure time, and is also worn for nights out. Axe Dark Temptation and Lattafa Ramz Lattafa (Silver) have a close profile.
