What does Gold (Eau de Parfum) smell like?

A floral, green character leads, with a soft fruity edge. Pollen and pimento add a light spiciness, while frankincense, cistus and Peruvian tolu balm bring a resinous warmth and East Indian patchouli adds woody depth. The oriental side stays sweet rather than heavy.

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Most voters pick fall and spring, and it is named most often for evenings and nights out, though daytime wear is voted nearly as much. Voters mostly read it as feminine, with classic and modern next.
