Gold Incense

by Pierre-Constantin Guéros

Carolina Herrera Gold Incense is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2017, created by Pierre-Constantin Guéros. Gold Incense opens with Marigold, Angelica, Cinnamon, and Bergamot, settles into a heart of Labdanum and Cedar, and dries down to a base of Sandalwood, Incense, and Vanilla. Carolina Herrera's Gold Incense carries an Acquired verdict, a warm spicy-led wear.

This one's got people split. Some rave about its smooth, expensive incense-vanilla drydown, others find it shockingly generic and overpriced. Definitely not a safe blind buy, especially given its hefty price tag and the wildly inconsistent customer service reviews.

Its moderate sillage and decent longevity make it suitable for a date or formal event, where its luxurious warmth can shine without overpowering. It's a bit too heavy and distinctive for everyday office wear, and entirely unsuitable for sport.

About

Gold Incense opens with a vibrant, slightly bitter kick from marigold and bergamot, spiced up with a hint of cinnamon. It quickly settles into a rich, warm heart of labdanum and cedar, developing into a smooth, resinous amber-woody character. The drydown is a deeply comforting blend of smoky incense, creamy vanilla, and soft sandalwood, with powdery nuances lingering on the skin.
