What does Gold Heart V.4 smell like?

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Most voters pick fall and winter, with spring following and summer well behind. It leans towards leisure and evening wear, and also suits nights out. More voters call it feminine, though a sizeable share read it as masculine.

It opens with cinnamon, cardamom and pink pepper, then softens at the heart into peach, saffron, milk and rose, which give it a creamy, sweet feel. The base settles on Australian sandalwood, musk and cedarwood, a warm woody floor. Jean Poivre The Mysterious Garden and Ajmal Alia have a close profile.
