I wish Burberry would bring this flanker back into production. It is divine, like most Brit flankers tend to be.
If you love woodsy vanilla scents, I would highly recommend that you go to the effort of trying to track down a bottle. Not to mention, the gold packaging is exquisite.
Brit Gold opens with luscious, creamy vanilla and musky orris root. This blend is both sensual and delicious. The heart is a tad richer with powdery sandalwood, syrupy amber and sweet benzoin. A subtle hint of black currant appears every now and then, and works beautifully alongside the dominant vanilla accord.
I honestly wasn't a huge fan of Burberry Brit, but I have since fallen head over heels in love with Brit Red and now this one, Brit Gold. Brit Sheer was also enjoyable as a fresh, citrusy floral for Summer.
Vanilla scents always make me feel warm and cuddly and Brit Gold is no exception. It smells a lot more expensive than what it's worth. It's such a pity that it isn't more readily available. I think that if it was still around today it would be a best-seller.
The longevity is incredibly good, as is the sillage. Burberry often produces clean and casual scents for everyday wear, but Brit Gold smells like a filthy-rich goddess; pure luxury. I highly recommend.
