Glamorous, seductive citrus vanilla

I have found so beautiful perfumes with citrusy touch lately. That note isn’t easy for me but when it’s blended seamlessly with other notes it’s absolutely charming.

I’m totally in love with Woman in Gold. Creamy composition with a captivating combination of vanilla and bergamot, refined rose and deepening Tonka and patchouli create a special and unique scent.

It feels like a fragrance from decades past updated for the modern era. It has a glowing glamour, a stylish, sensual and seductive character, and yet it is extremely versatile. The scent is powdery, fluffy, a bit hazy, but still bright. The patchouli doesn’t make it dark in any way. This is not a rose perfume in the way that you can smell clearly it’s petals. The most prominent notes are Bergamot and Vanilla.

I’m totally hooked on this. Woman in Gold is great for parties with an evening dress, but I can’t resist wearing it after a shower in the evening. It brings a touch of luxury to an ordinary day. Longevity is excellent and it leaves a seductive scent trail behind you. The scent is office safe and it’s suitable to wear year around.

Thank you for reading and I hope you liked my review. I would appreciate a lot if you will follow me on IG @ninamariah_perfumes
It gives me a motivation to write more.

Who is this woman in gold who attracts all eyes?

I was so unprepared.

What a beautiful vanilla.
Awesome. Plus bergamot and rose Puts me right into another setting.
Chandelier, evening, gala, expensive clothes, expensive guests, you know.
When the air smells of luxury and so good that you don't want to go.
Then silence returns, who enters?
It must be that woman in gold Golden earrings, white long dress, subtle makeup.
It smells of vanilla, bergamot, rose Oh, how elegant She just stands there and casts a spell on the others How does she do it?

When I smell this fragrance, I think of moments that I have not experienced, but that I would like to experience so much.

I liked Kilian even before But now I'm sitting here and I can't stop smelling my arm.

How gentle can vanilla be? How pleasant is the composition?
I'm blown away.

A dream scent..

I am very picky when it comes to perfume and out of about 100 samples maybe 5, get into a second testing phase....

Woman in Gold was a bull's eye. Such a beautiful, soft and super elegant is rare to find. You know that certainly. You test a fragrance for the first time and you almost freak out with enthusiasm?

Woman in Gold smells like you imagine the fragrance. A beautiful woman in an airy white dress. She wears gold jewelry and her long hair gives off a beguiling scent tail of a fragrance that smells so soft and summery that everyone smells about the fragrance..If elves wear perfumes, then definitely Wiman in Gold..

The scent starts with rose and a good load of vanilla. Sweet but pleasantly sweet. What a pink scented rose smells like. If you imagine a pink rose is sprinkled with vanilla powder, then you know approximately where the scent journey goes. Bergamot makes the scent relatively light and summery despite the vanilla. The patchouli provides a small touch of green, earthy, which is super subtle.

I have no H+S evaluated, because I have sprayed the fragrance only a couple of hours ago. Is H+S good, the scent is 100% pull in with me...,

Heavenly

... and that alone sums it up.
I was afraid of the patchouli described.
I smell great things but not much patch.

The fragrance starts with a very delicate, powdery rose. Very slightly vanilla, a little caramel, elegant, light. What I particularly appreciate:
Without the alcoholic oomph at the beginning that many fragrances bring with them.

The fragrance sits comfortably on the skin and stays there for the next 5 hours.
Rosy
Powdery
Vanilla
Creamy

Unfortunately, the rated longevity does not apply to me. I have to spray again after 5 hours.

But it's still heavenly and extremely wearable at any time of day. Whether in the office or going out. Always appropriate. Never too loud.

I like the bottle, which for me
- Elegance
- Femininity
- Neatness
expresses

The price is horrendous (without question far too high). With percentage promotions it becomes a little more bearable. It's worth waiting.

Who stole the gold from the perfume...?

I was very curious about the fragrance, because it sounded really nice and I also believe that many people like it well; unfortunately, I am not one of them.

It starts off very nicely with sweet freshness like a lime cream sprinkled with sugar, but not gourmand-esque.
Something about the opening I find ordinary, but not bad.
A delicate rose-soapiness creeps in, but retains the sweetness.
Then it gets less nice (for me); I smell pungent incense, as the patchouli note makes its presence felt, dulling the scent and muffling the other scents.

Patchouli with rose is not my favorite combination anyway, unfortunately.
The whole thing reminds me distantly of Lady Vengeance , though not as extreme, coupled with sugary sweetness.
Fragrance tree and leather seats in a hot car, so I felt at the time also the perfume of JhaG.

I personally do not like so well, the patchouli gradient, which is getting stronger and stronger, annoys me and is not mine.
It becomes nice only when the other components push the smoky patchouli smell aside for a short time, then I quite like to smell the wrist before it becomes musty-smoky again.

Under woman in gold I have imagined radiant vibes.
