Not everything that glitters…
is gold. That much is clear. But does Denims' "Gold" glitter? Fortunately, the fragrance does not weigh itself down with the namesake precious metal.
The latest Eau de Toilette from the Italian brand in my collection of blind buys starts off very peculiar and unusual for my nose. A hint of bergamot, or something reminiscent of citrus fruit, mingles with a slightly lavender-like substance and is presumably accompanied by so-called green notes. However, these are neither herbal nor spicy. After a few minutes, at least one of these green notes becomes clear to me. It must be stevia. Presumably - due to the sweetness, I assume - it revolves around the white powder derived from it, which is perceived as many times sweeter than sugar. Well, the scent is not that sweet, but it does leave a bit of fluff on my nasal septum.
The citrus-like components of the fragrance soon dissipate, and I find myself reminded a bit of my childhood. More specifically, the smell seems similar to the taste of those dye tablets used to make plaque visible. Back then, I didn't mind the taste, if I remember correctly. Does a perfume have to smell like this? It can obviously smell like this. Shortly after the tablet is chewed, a vanilla aroma comes into play. The vanilla does not correspond to a black, natural vanilla pod, but rather to vanilla sugar. So the teeth continue to turn a dark purple. I don't know exactly how water flowers smell, but perhaps floral scents mix into the already colorful medley of somewhat synthetic-smelling fragrance notes.
Thus, the haze lingers for quite a while. The sweetness seems to become more bearable over time. Whether my "little nose" has become desensitized, or if it really becomes less sweet, I cannot judge. I have the feeling of catching a warmer note. Perhaps cedarwood? Perhaps not. Hard to say, with all the synthetic stuff. Later, this somewhat more pleasant scent seems to become clearer after the vanilla sugar and the other artificial flowers have been dismissed and can only exert influence from the stands. In this phase, I can tolerate the scent best. I cannot detect musk or patchouli. It is possible that they soften the fragrance. They do not want to stand out. Until it fades, the perfume does not change anymore.
The scent lasts on me for over 10 hours. Even afterwards, I can still sniff it, but I have to rub my nose on the sprayed skin. While this does not give me a real reason to rejoice, those who like the scent might appreciate it.
The sillage is quite strong. In any case, with two sprays, I created a noticeably perceivable scent cloud. Should I consider that a good thing? The room effect diminishes after a little over 2 hours, but remains relatively noticeable for a while longer.
Regarding usability, I personally have only one limitation. I will probably not wear the Eau de Toilette. It is said to be a men's fragrance, but I would not want to impose that classification on the scent. In my opinion, it is more aimed at younger people. Whether they are male or female does not matter to me. If I were to go through puberty again, it might be possible that I would enjoy smelling it on myself or on a crush. However, I have long outgrown that age. I cannot recommend the scent for warmer days with a clear conscience. I mean, it makes a less bad impression in colder weather. When it comes to dosage, one should hold back; otherwise, the surroundings will suffer. This tip is meant seriously, regardless of age.
The glass bottle is covered with black plastic and has a black cap adorned with a gold-colored ring. However, this does not really enhance its appearance. The spray head is very good, even though it looks like nothing special.
Those who enjoy sweet things and artificial flowers might find some pleasure in the perfume. Unfortunately, "Gold" cannot shine for me personally.
