What does Gold Incense smell like?

Most voters pick autumn and winter, with spring not far behind. It sits close to leisure and daily wear and also suits evenings. Its longevity and sillage are rated good; voters most often call it feminine, though a fair share see it as masculine.

It opens with Omani frankincense, coffee, mandarin orange and pink pepper, a resinous and spicy start. The heart carries jasmine, rose, violet and patchouli, adding a floral softness. Sumatran benzoin, white musk and vanilla leave a sweet, creamy warmth as it dries. Yves Saint Laurent Black Opium (Eau de Parfum) and Real Time Black Emotion have a close profile.
