From your scent profile
Kilian Woman in Gold is a sweet, powdery women's fragrance led by rose, vanilla absolute and tonka bean.
Skunky's take: Floral accords up front; keep it from the bees.

What does Woman in Gold (Perfume) smell like?
Bergamot adds a light freshness at the start, but floral rose and creamy vanilla quickly take over. Patchouli and Akigalawood® give the sweetness a woody depth, so the overall impression is oriental, soft and powdery.
Longevity and sillage are both rated as good. Most voters pick autumn, followed by spring and winter, and it is chosen more for evenings and nights out. Most see it as a feminine scent. Gucci Guilty Elixir de Parfum pour Femme and Dior Fève Délicieuse have a close profile.
