About

Gold opens with a bright burst of orange, quickly softened by a delicate rose and the creamy, distinct character of neroli. As it settles, the white florals are bolstered by the exotic sweetness of ylang-ylang, woven into a warm, gently spicy heart. The dry-down reveals a sophisticated base of musky woods, providing depth and a touch of grounded sensuality, ensuring it never becomes cloying but always feels rich and inviting.
