Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Gold
Commodity Gold is a seriously divisive vanilla. Some find it a luxurious, grown-up take on the classic, while others moan it's simply basic and astonishingly weak. Go in with an open mind, but keep your expectations for performance in check - it's a skin scent for many.

Our Verdict - Faris Al Arab
This is a bold, amber powerhouse that's dividing opinion. Some say it's luxurious and sensuous, others find it sickly sweet and cloying. If you can wear it, it's a steal, but definitely not a safe blind buy.

Season and Occasion Fit

Gold

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter

A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.

Occasions

Best For:
Office Casual
Also Works:
Date

Its intimate sillage and clean, warm vanilla profile make it ideal for casual wear and office settings where strong fragrances are unwelcome. It's too subtle for a formal occasion and obviously unsuitable for sport given its delicate nature.
