that's how the first spray of Tiffany & Co Rose Gold Intense felt to me. I had previously tested a Tiffany fragrance that was quite pleasant in itself. But this one immediately hit me with Ambroxan and a synthetic floral scent dominated by a synthetic rose. Additionally, I smelled sweet gummy fruits. I thought: Such things are often available and much cheaper than this fragrance. Then, to my surprise, a powdery, non-sweet iris was dusted over it. I hoped that Rose Gold Intense was now "over the hill." Otherwise, I would have washed it off right away.
But it was bearable. However, over time, Rose Gold Intense became increasingly intense, more penetrating, sharper. At some point, I washed it off. I thought I wouldn't even use something like that as laundry detergent. The washing off was very tedious; only with laundry freshener, washing, creaming, and then with a neutral deodorant roller and washing again, drying, and creaming did I manage to remove it from my skin. But it continued to smell so annoyingly sweet, artificial, sharp. The scent had intensified over hours, and I had only used 3 sprays to test it a second time before evaluating.
But I can't endure that again.
I noticed that the collar of my fresh sweater still smelled strongly of it.
So I changed my sweater and put it in the container for washing delicate items. Just now, after about 8 hours, I went into the bathroom: The whole bathroom smelled of it. And here at the PC, where I sprayed it, it still smells of it.
OK, if it were a cheaper fragrance, I wouldn't rate it so harshly. But with a relatively expensive fragrance like Rose Gold Intense, I can't do that. I received a sample from a seller as a free gift for testing.
And in contrast to the heavenly scent: "L'Heure Bleue" - What a contrast.
When you buy a Rolls Royce, you get a Beetle for free. And that one just keeps going and going and going... Just that the Beetle doesn't smell as overpowering as RGI 😂
If there had at least been an acceptable review here, positive or negative, I would have left it at that. And this Tiffany pretends - when you see the price, it’s like a solid mid-range car.
Yes, I do. But for now, I need to forget this scent; it still lingers here. I’ll put the card with the O-spray here in the house where others leave the "To Go" ones...
I don't get it either. Those who like this kind of thing can find much better and cheaper options in any drugstore. There's a wide selection of trivial scents to nice classics, which I sometimes even enjoy.
This scent has always been around since I've been consciously aware of perfumes. You can find plenty of it in every drugstore for little money. I steer clear of those shelves as much as possible. If that's not an option, I quickly pass by while holding my breath. :-)
