Our verdict on Gold: Acquired

This is a proper love-it-or-hate-it perfume; a big, brassy lily for those who want to make an entrance. If you like your florals shy and retiring, look elsewhere. This isn't subtle, and it certainly isn't mass-market sweet.

Best Occasions

Best For:

Given its strong projection and distinctive, potentially polarising character, Gold is best reserved for occasions where it can truly shine without overwhelming. It's a confident choice for dates and formal events, though its powerful sillage makes it less suitable for an office environment.

About

Gold by Donna Karan is an opulent white floral with a spicy, amber heart. It opens with an almost overwhelming burst of realistic lily, backed by a unique greenness from violet leaf, that softens into a rich blend of jasmine and black locust. The dry down is a warm, enveloping embrace of amber and a pronounced clove note, providing a sensual, almost musky depth that some find intoxicating and others find a touch too much.
