When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer
Also Works:
Fall

A warm-weather pick - at its best in summer and spring.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual
Also Works:
Office Formal

Its bright, creamy floral character and good projection make it a flexible choice for casual outings and dates, particularly in warmer weather. While some find it office-safe due to its pleasantness, its strength and tropical leanings could be too much in a formal or very professional setting, and it is definitely not suitable for sport.

About

Born in Roma The Gold opens with a fizz of bright mandarin, quickly giving way to a rich, heady gardenia that dominates the heart. As it settles, a soft, creamy coconut emerges, blending with the white florals to create a 'solar' and slightly lactonic base, evoking sun-warmed skin and tropical resorts.
