Playboy Golden Era is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2023, created by Alexandra Monet. Golden Era opens with Salt, Kumquat, and Apricot, settles into a heart of Jasmine, Ylang-Ylang, and Coconut, and dries down to a base of Musk, Vanilla, and Tonka Bean. Playboy's Golden Era carries a Favourite verdict, a sweet-led wear.

This one's a budget-friendly gem that consistently punches above its weight. It's an easy-reach, unapologetically feminine and sunny scent with definite beachy vibes, though some find the vanilla a bit elusive. Perfect for everyday wear, just be ready to overspray.

About

Golden Era opens with a bright, unusual blend of juicy apricot and kumquat, quickly given an intriguing twist by a salty edge. The heart blossoms into a creamy tropical daydream with prominent coconut and lush ylang-ylang, underpinned by a soft jasmine. It settles into a warm, gently sweet base of musks, tonka bean, and a subtle vanilla whisper, evoking sun-kissed skin and ocean breezes without being overly literal.
