What does Gold Dust smell like?

Its longevity and sillage are both rated moderate, so it suits someone who wants a scent that sits close rather than filling a room. Daily and leisure wear lead, with office use next; evening and night out draw fewer votes.

It opens with coconut, bergamot, pear and apple, a fruity and bright start. At the heart, peony, white blossoms, peach and jasmine add a soft floral layer. The base of sandalwood, magnolia, vanilla and musk settles into a creamy, gourmand sweetness with a light woody edge. Korres Paeonia | Vanilla | Amber | Pear and La Fede Crisp Flower have a close profile.
