What does The One for Men Gold smell like?

Bright citrus and ginger give way to a spicy heart of cardamom, Egyptian geranium and clary sage. The base of Haitian vetiver, patchouli and amberwood sets the scent on a woody footing, while the fruity, sweet side stays present throughout.

Longevity and sillage are both moderate. Most voters pick spring, summer and fall, with winter the least chosen season. It leans towards leisure and daily wear, with some votes for evening and office. Most voters read it as masculine and modern. Versace Eros Flame and Dior Dior Homme Sport (2017) have a close profile.
