Opulent floriental
This is a very classic, grown-up scent to me.
Now I'm 36 and should feel grown-up enough for any scent in theory, but Mon Parfum Gold makes me think of a woman who wears buttoned silk blouses, simple pearl jewelry, closed-toe pumps and a camel-colored wool coat at the same time. Even though I'm a firm believer that perfume has no age, I think some scents fit in with a more youthful or mature style - which has much more to do with your taste, personality and looks than your actual age. And I still feel like a kid playing dress-up in this specific look. Elegant and opulent are fine, but 100% ladylike without any little twist doesn't work for me and I don't think it ever will.
I think the reason why Mon Parfum Gold gives me that vibe might be the ylang-ylang, which is very prominent here. Combined with rose and a warm base, it has that classic, "perfumey", floriental feeling. It has a sweetness to it, coming from the gorgeous raspberry and vanilla, but it's far from gourmand. The tobacco adds a sharp note I don't enjoy that much, I find it a little scratchy and spikey. Especially in the opening, it mellows down considerably in the drydown.
The rest of the scent is pretty, just not my thing. Not what I was expecting from something with so many fruity notes, which usually come across as more playful to me.
I think if you're looking for something femine and elegant you can wear in the evening, maybe to go to the opera or theater or some kind of gala, this might fit the bill.
