What does White Gold smell like?

Its longevity is rated good and its sillage moderate, though the vote counts are small, so these ratings are only a rough guide. With its fresh, sweet profile it suits both men and women.

The top notes of mandarin orange, pink pepper, bergamot and leaf green give a citrusy, green, lightly spicy start. At the heart, orchid, jasmine, freesia and orris butter add a floral, powdery layer. In the base, vetiver, amber, tonka bean and Bourbon vanilla sweeten it and settle it onto a creamy, woody footing.
