Aurora Gold

Aurora Gold is a women's eau de parfum from Ann Summers, sold in a 100ml bottle with a 10ml purse spray in the same scent. The brand calls it infused with pheromones and says it is made to be worn from morning to evening. The pheromone wording is marketing and is not presented here as a proven effect. The brand's notes, spread over its 100ml and 10ml pages and repeated by retailers, are a top of green mandarin, water jasmine and ginger flower, a heart of vanilla and salt, and a base of ambergris, cashmere wood and sandalwood. The result reads as a clean, sunny citrus opening with a tropical flower lift from the ginger flower and jasmine, softened by creamy vanilla with a salty, skin-like edge, and finished with a smooth, warm woody and ambery base. A retailer describes it as refreshing citrus notes meeting a hint of magnetic warmth, and the bottle is a gold to rose gradient with faceted glass. Wearer reviews are mostly positive on the smell and the price. Several mention compliments and a sensual but not overpowering character. Opinions on lasting power are mixed: some say it lasts on skin and clothes, others say it fades fast, and one reviewer reports a musty note after the opening. The brand states a vegan formula. No perfumer is named and no launch year is given. The performance scores below follow the buyer comments and the brand's day to night description, with a moderate lasting time and a gentle trail.
