What does Golden Rule smell like?

Its longevity and sillage are both moderate. Most voters recommend it for spring and summer; it leans towards leisure and daily wear, with some votes for evenings and nights out. It reads as feminine and modern.

It opens with pink pepper, mandarin orange and yellow pear, lively and fruity. Towards the heart, coconut milk, jasmine and orange blossom water bring a creamy, floral softness. In the base, sandalwood, benzoin and vanilla cream settle into a sweet, warm finish. Penhaligon's Solaris and Ex Nihilo Vesper Glitz have a close profile.
