What does Gold (Eau de Toilette) smell like?

Its longevity is rated good and its sillage moderate, so it stays fairly close to the skin rather than filling a room. Only a few people have rated it, so these scores are a loose guide. It reads clearly masculine.

It opens with bergamot, lemon and lavender, while basil and rosemary add a herbal, green edge. In the heart, geranium, moss and nutmeg give it a spicy frame, softened a little by rose and jasmine. The base of cedar, patchouli, leather and amber settles into a woody, leathery and slightly sweet finish.
