Commodity Gold is a unisex scent that sets sandalwood, vanilla and amber beneath a juniper berry opening, leaning sweet and gourmand.
Skunky's take: Comes alive when it gets cold; fall and winter are its seasons.

What does Gold smell like?
It opens with juniper berry, then moves into a heart of sandalwood and vanilla. The base holds amber, benzoin and musk. The accords are sweet, creamy and resinous, with a spicy, woody side softened by a powdery finish.
Longevity and sillage are both moderate. Most voters pick fall and winter, and summer gets very few votes. It is used about equally for daily wear, leisure and evenings. Voters read it as feminine more often than masculine, though a fair share see it as masculine. Fragrance Du Bois Santal Complet and Initio Blessed Baraka have a close profile.
