What does Les Compositions Parfumées - Gold smell like?

It opens with bergamot and lemon for a sharp citrus lift. In the heart, iris, Egyptian jasmine and lily of the valley give it a floral, powdery body. The base of patchouli, vanilla and benzoin sweetens it and carries it into a creamy, lightly spicy, woody warmth.

Longevity and sillage are rated good. Most voters pick fall and spring, with winter close behind. It leans towards evenings and nights out, yet leisure, daily and office wear all get votes. Voters read it as more feminine than masculine, though a fair share call it masculine. Santa Maria Novella Vaniglia and Guerlain Shalimar Philtre de Parfum have a close profile.
