Aquolina Gold Sugar is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2013, created by Shyamala Maisondieu. Gold Sugar opens with Orange, Mandarin, and Neroli, settles into a heart of Orange Blossom, Vanilla, and Coconut, and dries down to a base of Cream, Musk, and Sandalwood. Aquolina's Gold Sugar carries a Statement verdict, a sweet-led wear.

A divisive gourmand, Gold Sugar walks the line between delicious crème brûlée and synthetic sweet sunscreen. Those who love it adore its creamy, citrusy warmth, but others find it cloying or artificial. Definitely try before you commit.

Its strong sweetness and creamy gourmand nature make it better suited for casual or date settings, where its rich aroma can be fully appreciated without being overwhelming. It's too potent for professional environments and clearly not made for sport.

About

Gold Sugar opens with a lively burst of neroli and mandarin, quickly mellowing into a sweet, lactonic heart of coconut and orange blossom. The creamy core evokes an orange-infused crème brûlée, eventually settling into a comforting base of vanilla and sandalwood. It's a rich, edible scent that manages to be both bright and cosy.
