What does Gold smell like?

The top notes are Spanish bitter orange, Italian bergamot and Argentinian lemon, giving a bright, sharp start. In the heart, French lavender, angelica root and geranium add a green, slightly herbal edge. The base of patchouli, frankincense and cinnamon leaf brings a spicy, woody, resinous warmth, softened and sweetened by neroli and opoponax.

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate, so it stays close without crowding the room. Most voters pick spring and summer, and leisure and daily wear lead the occasions, with office use also named. Masculine and feminine votes are close, so it leans toward neither side.
