Speechless !!

First of all, I just have to say I'm completely blown away... What a magnificent fragrance !!

My first experience with a unisex fragrance was Meharees, which disappointed me quite a bit and also came off as far too feminine.

I was initially skeptical about 24 Gold and was pretty sure that it would disappoint me as well.

But I was so wrong that it couldn't have been any other way....

If I had to describe the scent briefly, I would say: A magical blend of "Opium Pour Homme," "Dior Homme Intense," and a hint of "Jubilation XXV Man."

Many might disagree with me here, but I suppose I shouldn't care.

It has that sweetness that comes from the berries in Opium Pour Homme, along with the delicious and soft vanilla. Then there's the seductive and elegant element of Dior Homme Intense, combined with the nobility and class of Jubilation XXV Man.

I can smell all of these more or less in this fragrance.
At first, the sweetness is really almost a bit too much, and the floral notes in the fragrance make it extremely soft. It would be a bit too feminine for me.

Then, after a while, when the vanilla takes over, the fragrance becomes a dream. Vanilla and amber enchant you, and there's a touch of cinnamon that gives the scent a subtle spiciness.

Jasmine and ylang-ylang skillfully play with the sweetness of the fragrance and meet relatively bright woods that lend a slightly masculine note to the scent.

This fragrance simply blows me away and could become my new favorite next to Dior Homme Intense.

The scent is the perfect blend of sweet, woody, and floral elements. Accompanied by a very dominant vanilla towards the end, a bit of cinnamon, and a slightly smoky amber with a hint of festive anise.

The fragrance fits perfectly with the Christmas season and thus into winter. On relatively cold autumn days, I can still imagine wearing it. But definitely nothing for spring or summer.

24 Gold is, after or maybe even alongside Dior Homme Intense, the most delicious oriental gourmand I have had the pleasure of getting to know.

The fragrance really lasts extremely long, and I can still smell it on myself after many hours. After 5-6 hours, it becomes closer to the skin, but even then, the sillage is still enough to let others partake in this masterpiece. Especially outside on cold days, your fellow humans will be delighted when a light breeze carries this scent to them. The fragrance creates an irresistible warm aura that one cannot escape. Warm, elegant, seductive, and even a bit sensual and erotic, it radiates all of that.

Longevity 9/10
Sillage 9/10
Scent 10/10
Price 100/10

As you can probably see from the points I have given here, the price scores extremely well.

I really can't explain how a fragrance of this class and level can have a price of under €30 for 100ml.
The fragrance is definitely unisex, and I would say it is equally wearable for both genders, but I would actually assign it a little more to men. Thus, it is easier for me to wear it with a good conscience !!

The fragrance was released in 2009 and is therefore a masterpiece of recent perfume history and will most likely one day attain the status of a classic.
For a long time, I searched for a winter fragrance worthy of residing alongside DHI and Midnight in Paris in my fragrance cabinet and settling there permanently.

Now I like it so much that it might even get the presidential suite.
In the end, I can only emphasize again: "an incredible fragrance"

Everyone should test it and take the opportunity to acquire such a masterpiece for an extremely low price.

For the title of my comment being speechless, I have really found a lot of words, but I couldn't possibly withhold what I think of this fragrance from you.

Deserved 100%, and now the cold winter days can finally come, I am ready !!

So I have to go from 100% to 90%.

It doesn't quite reach my favorites DHI and MIP.

The fragrance is great, but already quite feminine, and the extreme sweetness can become overwhelming after a while. I definitely can't wear it regularly.

Yes, the price is just ridiculously cheap for a scent of this quality :D
It might be more expensive now since it's very hard to find...

It doesn't really remind me of jubilation, but rather of "cuir noir" by Armani. In my opinion, they both have that slight musty touch, which isn't off-putting though.

Yes, it really reminds me of Jubilation XXV Man. Unfortunately, it's hard to get a hold of a bottle.
