What does Golden Aries smell like?

It opens fresh, fruity and lightly spicy with kiwi, peach, Italian bergamot and pink pepper. The heart builds a floral body from jasmine sambac, Turkish rose, tuberose and narcissus, with green and powdery shades alongside. In the base, Indian sandalwood and oud add a sweet, oriental and smoky depth.

Longevity and sillage are rated good, though the number of votes is small. Voters pick spring and summer most often, and night out and evening as the main occasions; winter is the least chosen season. It reads neither strictly masculine nor feminine and can be worn by anyone. Calvin Klein Euphoria (Eau de Toilette) and Guerlain Nahema (Eau de Parfum) have a close profile.
