Mica D'Oro
by Valmont
Mica D'Oro is a rich, spiced gourmand with a bold opening of black pepper and rum, layered over creamy vanilla and whipped cream. It unfolds into a warm, lactonic finish with subtle almondy and woody notes, creating a seductive and intimate fragrance that feels like an alluring bedroom scent. The performance is moderate to long, though some find the sillage light and the longevity inconsistent, with projections described as moderate or strong depending on skin chemistry. It bears strong similarities to Kilian's Angel's Share and Maison Francis Kurkdjian's Grand Soir, blending sweet boozy complexity with a powdery dry down that lingers subtly.
Pros
- +The scent is deeply captivating and addictive, with a unique spicy-creamy profile that stands out among gourmands.
- +High-quality blending and luxurious presentation make it a standout choice for fans of rich, sensual fragrances.
- +The fragrance performs well on skin in cooler seasons, especially autumn and winter, where its warmth is most appreciated.
Cons
- −The price is widely seen as excessive, with strong sentiment that it's overpriced given the performance.
- −Longevity and sillage are inconsistent, with some users reporting short wear and weak projection.
- −The scent is very light on some skin types, making it seem underdeveloped or fleeting.
