Nondescript spicy floral
In yet another attempt to test the original Max Mara, the spray mechanism didn't work and so I resorted to testing Max Mara Gold Touch instead.
This is quite a spicy floral scent. I can detect a rose and jasmine blend which has been overshadowed with an array of spices, including pepper and bitter, woodsy vetiver.
Initially it's a bit of a shock to the nose, however after some time, this fragrance settles into something rather light and transparent. I find it refreshingly spicy and feminine after the harsh opening has vanished.
I wouldn't say that this fragrance is particularly elegant or 'golden', it strikes me as something rather basic, easy to wear casually or formally, depending on the situation.
For some reason I expected this fragrance to have glitter in it or gold flecks like Agent Provocateur's Diamond Dust edition. I was disappointed that it didn't.
The lasting power and the sillage are so-so, nothing particularly amazing here I'm afraid. Max Mara Gold Touch was interesting while it lasted but I probably won't remember what it smelt like next week.
