SpicyWhat does Aruba Gold smell like?
Both its longevity and its sillage are rated strong; the number of voters is small, but the scores are high on both counts. It is classed as a feminine perfume.
The top opens fresh and spicy with Sicilian lemon, Calabrian bergamot and ginger. Towards the heart, amber, cinnamon, pear and green apple bring a fruity sweetness. The base settles on a creamy, woody ground of Bourbon vanilla, white musk and vetiver. It shares a close profile with Emper Zephyr Gold and Xerjoff Erba Gold.
