Abduction of a Perfume

Quince has always appealed to me in fragrances. It imparts a certain sweetness with a special twist. Not simply banal sugary sweetness, but a sensually melancholic sweetness with a fruity touch. Here, it is precisely this note that opens the pleasure of the scent and holds on for some time, until a very dark, ripe plum joins in. Jasmine adds a slightly rich floral aspect, and so the three notes combine to create a dessert-like, gourmand treat that irresistibly beckons. On my skin, with its already sweet personal scent, the quince note lingers even more persistently than on fabric. Before I start to long for my arm more and more, fortunately, the rose intervenes and pricks me with its thorns. It skillfully merges with the top notes, as if it were meant to be. I can imagine that even rose opponents would find joy in such a perfectly fragrant, beautifully sensual bloom. Seductively, it glides with its petals smoothly and tenderly around my nose and soul, threatening to unhinge my mind with its behavior. What a lush and rich scent tapestry lies over my skin and the sprayed fabric...! This fragrance borders on a dream. I drift away, lulled on a vanilla-colored cloud through space and time. I have no idea where this airy fabric will take me, but I let myself be carried along willingly. We rise higher and higher, but the air does not thin out; rather, the opposite is true. The finest, densely swirling scents permeate the atmosphere and caress my senses. Amber, vanilla, oud in the most exquisite variation waft around my face, blending into one, only to dance around my form again as soloists in the next moment. The cloud darkens slightly. A woody scent rises from it to me. It too is absorbed into the ranks of the other notes and then released again. Around me, there is nothing to see but white emptiness. The only sound is the wind that holds the scents within it and carries the cloud with me. But are we really flying, or are we suspended in the air? I cannot say. Nothing rushes past us that would indicate a flight. Nothing lingers before or around us that would signal a standstill. My gaze searches for orientation. Where is up, where is down? Am I here or somewhere else? All I can perceive with crystal clarity are these overwhelmingly sensual and full scents, which repeatedly merge into a single composition and then seemingly take different paths individually, only to do the same moments later again. And I am right in the middle of it. Captivated in this intoxicating whirl. A serf to one and several fragrances that can easily achieve their goal of seducing me. A sweet temptation that hits precisely at the center of my taste for gourmand scents. It makes my little heart flutter and my eyes shine, as if I were a child in a candy store. I close my eyes and absorb all the impressions around me. My chest rises more and more, delightfully taking everything in.
When I exhale and open my eyes, I am back home and in my bed. I look around questioningly. Was it really just a dream? Everything felt so real; did I actually experience this journey? I see the bottle of Giorgio Gold next to me on the nightstand. What is it doing there? Its place is in the bathroom. As if guided by remote control, I reach for it and bring the spray head to my nose. I close my eyes and let the scent find its way into my senses. Suddenly, I find myself back on the vanilla-colored cloud in the boundlessly graceful white nothingness. This time, however, I do not question it. I let it happen. Float. Enjoy. Be.
Once again, I let myself be seduced. Seduced by the abduction. The abduction of a perfume...

Can you wear it in a restaurant too...

Giorgio, the yellow-white classic that was even banned from many restaurants in Hollywood in the 80s because it was so extremely strong, derived its appeal from its radiant, siren-like floral notes. Lush, voluminous accords surrounded the wearer for hours and sometimes caused headaches. What was trendy back then (Poison followed! Women wore Loulou and Montana...) didn’t even remotely smell like Oudh or brushed past it. Today, however, Oudh is the new musk - or the new vanilla. In any case, it is almost omnipresent. This is also true for this relatively new fragrance from the USA (2016).
Most of the time, I don't like Oudh notes; the more expensive the fragrance, the stronger they often are. Maybe they are even natural and really, really precious...
But in the Eau de Parfum discussed here, it is most likely synthetic Oudh that is used, otherwise the low price would be hard to explain. I also can't make sense of the fact that I find this fragrance relatively pleasant. Unlike real Arabic fragrances, this "Giorgio Gold" is a relatively restrained Oudh-rose scent that has been adapted to Western tastes. While this EdP also has very good longevity and radiates warmth, it lacks the deep, resinous nuances of natural Oudh. The fragrance not only has synthetic Oudh components but also a distinct cashmere note, combined with vanilla. At the beginning, diffuse fruity aromas are evoked, quince and plum, or what chemists can present as such.
The rose does not appear too dominant, flanked by jasmine and smells very familiar.
"Giorgio Gold" is not a milestone, nor a masterpiece. It is rather a wearable, slightly sweet, adapted fashion fragrance that is particularly suitable for winter and evenings. It skillfully picks up the Oudh-rose theme in such a way that a feel-good fragrance is created, which feels completely different from an Oudh-rose perfume from the niche sector. It is an Oudh-floral in the "inoffensive style," that can be worn without having to play the thick, heavy Arabian-Orient card. It is indeed an Oudh scent as some might wish: neither too provocative nor too erotic, but still enveloping and somehow smelling like a modern perfume.
Here it also shows that synthetics do not have to be negative at all. Priced in the lower range, this well-mannered Giorgio brings me more joy than the expensive niche Oudhs. Whether I will ultimately wear it a lot remains to be seen.
The bottle looks fantastic in any case. You can't go wrong with this fragrance.

A Beautiful Rose-Oud Fragrance

Giorgio "Gold" is a true wonder! Purchased at TK Maxx (based on existing statements) for only 14.99 and I am completely convinced by it.
The impression in the first few minutes: this is more of an Oud-Rose, the Oud is far too biting and far too present. But this impression is greatly misleading. The fragrance calms down very quickly, it becomes rounder, softer, it turns into Rose-Oud.
A wonderful unsweet (just a hint of sweetness), cooled by Oud, slightly smoky deep dark red rose blooms on my skin. One has the impression of seeing the petals in front of them. No plum, no fruit in sight on my skin in this middle (long-lasting!!!) rosy phase, thank God!
In the end, in the base, the fragrance changes again! It becomes, in my perception, a kind of "Mon Numéro 10" by L'Artisan Parfumeur (a fragrance I own and really like) or M7 Oud Absolu by Yves Saint Laurent (newer version).
From start to finish, this is a beautiful, successful, interesting fragrance. The longevity is great and the sillage is perfectly fine (doesn't overwhelm anyone).

Giorgio's Journey to the Orient

The good old Giorgio. I haven't heard from him, or rather smelled anything from him, in many years.
Now the good man is back from a long journey to the Orient and has indeed brought with him a wonderful fragrance.
At least the ideas for it. He strolled through orchards and incorporated their aromas as an "introduction" to a woody-floral scent. Quince and plum give the tone here. But not in a "gourmand" sense, rather as a "foundation" for what follows.
Through Bulgaria, whose wonderful fragrant roses inspired him, he then traveled to Arabia, where he smelled agarwood (oud) for the first time.
This naturally had to be another ingredient for his new perfume. And how he enjoyed wanting to be "fragrant" again, amidst all the lovely scents of Arabia.
Finally, he arrived in Kashmir, where further olfactory delights awaited him.
A wood is even named after this region, which caught his attention. This one also has a scent. A bit different from oud, somewhat bitter and slightly rough. And delicious for a "fragrance water".
Just a little bit of incense, myrrh, and vanilla, and the idea for a round and soft autumn scent was ready, which cheers up gloomy thoughts on foggy days and wraps you like a soft woolen jacket.
From all the impressions that Giorgio gathered, he immediately put the fragrance ideas into action.
And from this emerged "Giorgio Gold".
Beverly Hills had a beautiful, new fragrance that traveled around the world for some time to eventually land with me.
