What does Private Gold smell like?

Its longevity is rated good and its sillage moderate, so it leaves a noticeable trail at close range without filling the room. These ratings rest on a small number of votes. There is no detailed season or occasion data, but its character is clearly masculine.

Amber sweetness and the dry, leathery edge of leather lead the scent, with tobacco adding a smoky backdrop. The accords also include a floral touch, spice, woody and earthy tones, which soften the sweetness and give an oriental warmth. Yas Perfumes Jazzab and Chopard Oud Malaki share a close profile.
