What does Gold (Eau de Toilette) smell like?

The top holds grapefruit, ginger, blueberry and cardamom, so citrus and fruit lead with spice behind them. The heart brings vetiver and lavender alongside pink pepper and violet leaf. The base of teakwood, amber, vanilla and myrrh gives it a woody, sweet footing.

Longevity and sillage are rated moderate, though only a small number of voters have weighed in. With its fresh, sweet and lightly spicy character, it is made for men. Dunhill Icon Racing and Zegna Forte have a close profile.
