What does Gold Leaf smell like?

Gold Leaf's longevity and sillage are both rated good. Most voters recommend spring, fall and summer, with winter trailing behind. Leisure, business and daily wear lead the occasions. Votes for masculine, modern and feminine sit close together, so the scent doesn't lean on any one gender.

It opens with blackcurrant leaf, oolong tea and juniper berry, which feel fresh, green and lightly spicy. In the heart, Bulgarian rose absolute and jasmine sambac absolute add a soft floral touch. The dry-down settles on Lapsang Souchong tea, cedar, musk and Haitian vetiver, woody and creamy. L'Occitane en Provence Thé Vert and Floris Jermyn Street have a close profile.
