Old School and inexpensive
I first had a bottle of Gold when it was made by Yardley, over 20 years ago. I loved it at the time as I had really only experienced a few fragrances. Recently I bought a bottle again. Despite the fact that this is not an overly expensive fragrance and is essentially a chemist/drugstore scent, it is not very common. It can be found in England for around 7 pounds Sterling for 100ml. In Australia, where I live, it is much more expensive.

The best way to describe this is by an equation:

Aramis + Worth pour Homme + baby powder = Gold. It is a warm woody,spicy, boozy scent with lavender being quite prominent. It has good projection and longevity. It has been described by some as generic and dated, but I disagree: it is a pleasant 1970s or 80s style perfume that represents great value for money.

GOLD for Men
Adventure, freshness, and a large dose of freedom - that's how Gold smells. Bergamot, lemon, and aromatic herbs like basil, rosemary, and lavender create the refreshing, crisp top note. The heart note is characterized by floral essences such as jasmine, iris, rose geranium, and gains a masculine touch from additions of moss, conifer, clove, and nutmeg. Patchouli, cedar, and leather give the base note an overall spicy and robust scent. The invigorating effect on the skin, surrounded by the spicy fragrance, awakens the urge for adventure.

Very solid, classic men's fragrance (Chypre type) with everything that smells good. Affordable yet worth its weight in gold.

Juicy green basil and bergamot lead aldehydically into a mossy-woody base enriched with cloves, nutmeg, and flowers°°°
