What does Gold smell like?

Its longevity is rated strong and its sillage good. Most voters pick evening and night out, with leisure wear not far behind. It doesn't lean masculine or feminine; it reads as unisex.

The notes have no top, heart and base split, so the scent reads as one piece: honey and pot marigold give a floral sweetness, while frankincense and myrrh add a resinous, smoky weight. Baltic amber and Spanish saffron blossom bring a spicy, oriental warmth. The creamy, gourmand side is clear, with a leathery shade in the background. Moresque Sandal Granada and Mind Games Grand Master have a close profile.
