What does Flame of Gold smell like?

Longevity and sillage are both rated good. Most voters pick autumn and winter, and it leans towards leisure time, evenings and nights out. It reads more masculine than feminine, though a fair share of voters call it feminine.

Sweet, spicy and woody accords set the tone. It opens with violet leaf, pink pepper and bergamot. Oak wood and amyris form a woody heart. In the base, chocolate and tonka add a creamy, powdery sweetness, while suede brings a leathery edge.
