What does Gold Spot smell like?

Longevity is rated strong and sillage good. Most voters pick fall and winter, and it is worn mostly for leisure and evenings. Voters split on whether it reads masculine or feminine, so it sits comfortably on either side.

Butterscotch, dark chocolate and vanilla carry the sweetness, while amber, myrrh and oud ground it in a woody, resinous base. Bergamot, petitgrain and orange blossom add a citrusy, floral lift, and cypriol and musk leave a spicy, faintly animal trail. Sarah Baker Perfumes Loudo and Xerjoff Alexandria II (Parfum) have a close profile.
