Gold +

Gold+ presents a darker, spicier evolution of the original Gold, with strong woody and leathery undertones that shift from an initially synthetic or medicinal opening into a dry, vanillic, earthy base. The scent opens with sharp patchouli, saffron, and an unmistakably woody note—mostly sandalwood—creating a distinct, heavy tactile impression akin to polished wood or fresh leather. While some find this dry, metallic quality compelling and uniquely sensual, others describe it as overwhelming, synthetic, or even nauseating at first. The vanillic development is not immediately apparent but eventually surfaces, with a creamy, powdery vanilla that blends with nutmeg and amber in the dry down. Longevity is impressive, with lasting wear beyond eight hours for some, though projection is moderate and not a room-filling scent. It leans strongly toward the masculine side in character, though many users report it as unisex due to its balance of warmth and dryness. The fragrance is best suited for autumn and winter, especially during nighttime wear, and appeals to fans of incense, leather, and spicy ambers. It's most comparable to rosy, potent scents like Mancera Red Tobacco, Rosendo Mateu No. 5, or even layered with soft vanillas like Velvet+, where its complexity can shine.
