Vertus XXIV Carat Gold is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2015. XXIV Carat Gold opens with Cypress, Juniper, and Aldehydes, settles into a heart of Violet and Pink Pepper, and dries down to a base of Musk, Cedar, Sandalwood, and Vetiver. Vertus's XXIV Carat Gold carries a Statement verdict, a woody-led wear.

This one is a total shape-shifter: a green, woody fragrance that some swear smells like vetiver-heavy Chanel Sycomore, while others find it a weak, uninspired imitation. Expect a polarising scent that's either 'phenomenal' or 'poorly blended' - there's no middle ground here.

Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

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:
Spring Fall Winter
Also Works:
Summer

Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Formal
Also Works:
Office Date Casual

Its formal, almost austere woody profile makes it ideal for formal events and can work in an office, provided it’s not oversprayed. While some find its projection intimate, others report strong performance, making office wear a careful balance. It's too refined for casual or sport settings.

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.

Declarable under EU Annex III

  • Sandalwood Santalol from Sandalwood
  • Synthetic musk Hexamethylindanopyran from Musk

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

Opens with an intriguing, almost metallic bite of aldehydes and fresh juniper, quickly evolving into a robust, aromatic cypress and vetiver core. Pink pepper adds a subtle spicy kick, while the base settles into a sophisticated blend of dry woods - cedar and sandalwood - with a hint of tobacco and musk contributing to its earthy depth. It’s a rustic, green woody scent that dances between sharp freshness and mellow grounding.
