New Brand Parfums Gold is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2016. Gold opens with Blood Orange, Grapefruit, and Mint, settles into a heart of Rose, Cinnamon, and Coriander, and dries down to a base of Woody Notes, Leather, Patchouli, and Styrax. New Brand Parfums's Gold carries a Statement verdict, a fresh-led wear.

If you're after a super-cheap alternative to Paco Rabanne 1 Million and aren't fussed about longevity, this might just scratch that itch. But honestly, for most, it's a hard pass; generic and fleeting, it won't be winning any awards.

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Fall Winter

A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.

Best Occasions

Also Works:
Casual

Its poor longevity and uninspired spicy-woody blend make it unsuitable for most occasions. It barely lasts long enough for a casual outing, and definitely won't hold up for office, date nights, or formal events.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

In standard patch-test panels

Other declarable allergens

  • Spearmint Mentha Viridis Leaf Oil from Mint

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

This one kicks off with a short-lived burst of bright blood orange and zesty grapefruit, quickly followed by a generic masculine warmth. You'll catch a fleeting whiff of cinnamon and a touch of rose, but it all quickly devolves into a muddled, boozy blend of woody notes and a hint of leather. It tries to hit a spicy, aromatic vibe but mostly lands on 'unremarkable'.
