As chance would have it...

...I found this fragrance. Atkinsons was not a brand that I was very fond of. I used to test a few fragrances from this house, but none of the releases really knocked me off my feet. It's not that they smell bad, but none of them really made me want to buy them. Some are a little closer, but not quite there.
I got a sample of this Gold Fair in Mayfair through an order that came with it. Of course, you are "forced" to test the free samples, not always with high expectations. With such a sample you are of course more pleased than the usual mainstream samples. Here it was love at first smell. It's nice when you find great fragrances without really having the scent on your radar.

Shortly after the first tests, a bottle was needed. Fortunately, the Atkinsons prices are quite humane in contrast to many niche brands. you can get 100ml for just over €100, RRP is around €180. It's definitely worth it for this great sweet and sensual fragrance that you can wear almost anytime.
This fragrance is a limited edition. The information here says that only 2000 copies were produced. I doubt that. because that's really not a lot for the whole world. Maybe just marketing.

The packaging is extremely high quality and can compete with much more expensive brands. The fragrance comes in a large box that can be opened. The Atkinsons logo is in the middle. The gold bottle is of course also absolutely masterful. For me, it's one of the most beautiful I own, as the gold is absolutely beautifully decorated. Great look!
The more important thing is of course the fragrance, which is also absolutely convincing. The fragrance simply goes in a direction that I absolutely love. This fragrance goes roughly in the direction of Initio Rehab. Not in terms of the fragrance DNA, but this clean, sweet type of fragrance that never gets too heavy. It's listed as a twin to TF Noir Extreme, which in my opinion is a little further away, but if you're looking for an alternative to this one you probably won't be disappointed.
If you are looking for a sweet fragrance that is never too heavy and still performs well, you will definitely find it here. The start reminds me slightly of Enigma Parfum Cologne. It has a light cola vibe and a slightly boozy absinthe note. Nutmeg comes through very nicely and has a very cozy and sensual character. The heart note is followed by soft cocoa, fresh sage and some iris, which never becomes too powdery. The perfect blend of pleasant sweetness and relatively fresh spice. The fragrance feels great on the skin and is a kind of feel-good scent. Ambroxan and incense are added in the base. A pleasant incense note and never too smoky. The DNA of the fragrance changes only slightly throughout and the scent is actually always pleasantly sweet and spicy with a catchy note that lingers in the memory. For me, in cool to mild temperatures up to around 18 degrees, this is a fragrance that you can always wear, as it never becomes too overpowering despite its good sillage Performance is also top with over 10 hours of durability and quite good sillage. A great overall package for such a pleasant fragrance.

All in all, a perfect unisex fragrance for me, which convinces with sweet-spicy sensuality and is a feel-good fragrance for me over the entire course. An absolute seducer that is sure to receive a few compliments.
