What does Gold Label smell like?

It reads as one piece: jasmine, ylang-ylang and May rose carry the floral side, while cinnamon, ginger and clove add spice. Oakmoss, patchouli and cedarwood give a chypre-like woody base, and benzoin, labdanum, styrax, vanilla and ambergris bring a creamy, resinous sweetness.

Voters find the longevity good and the sillage strong, though the number of votes is small, so this is an early impression. With its unisex character and dense, warm build, it suits anyone who wants a scent that lasts through the day and leaves a clear trail. Scentiments Signature No.1 and Pierre de Velay No. 23 have a close profile.
