An Intense Honey Scent
If you are into intense honey scents, you should definitely give Gold a try. I find it quite successful but also a bit boring. Qualitatively, it is still a very pleasant unisex fragrance to wear. The longevity on my skin is more than 12 hours with a rather moderate sillage.

Since the complexity of the scent is limited, I won't be able to elaborate further on top, heart, or base notes. The smell is very sweet, gourmand, oriental-spicy, leathery, slightly smoky, balsamic, resinous, and delicately floral. I detect aromas of flower honey, amber, benzoin, saffron, allspice, nutmeg, marigold, and myrrh.

In the end, I'm not quite sure what to make of "Gold | Shalini," especially since my best friend also described the fragrance as rather unremarkable. I thank Alex for the sample.

Fragile Tenderness
Fragile Tenderness.
Saffron minutes pass in leathery slowness.
Time flows tick tock
like golden honey
from amber-colored veins.
The world holds its incense/myrrh breath.
Eternity stands still.
The flower of life curls around your body,
like the shackles of love.

Saffron without rose. That I get to experience this. And a good one at that. Matte. Dry.
In my mind, it evokes a slight leatheriness. Like the fine threads of time, the other notes join in. First honey, dark golden, but not much. By the time the incense/myrrh note arrives, the fragrance has wrapped me around its finger. Very delicate. The myrrh weaves in a subtle, minimal sweetness. The scent begins to live. The clock ticks again. It becomes softer, more balsamic, amber makes the pulse throb.
The curling flower...
Honestly, I don't necessarily smell anything floral, but Maurice Roucel could have drawn it with the fragrance, as it is a little plant that grows in a fragile environment, and its softness comes to light in its healing effect.

You may wonder... She raves so, but 'only' a 9.
This is a fragrance that does not want to be a 10.
Some may not like the fragile opening, may be bothered by saffron when reading the notes, by honey, or the sweetness at the end, and certainly by the price. Surely the fragrance is not something completely new, and yet Maurice Roucel has composed it so precisely that from the unremarkable, it becomes the healing balm.
A drop sprayed on in the evening lasted beautifully on my skin the entire next day, discreet and gorgeous.

Gold in abundance
Honey flows in a stream
On amber reserves
Where one sowed marigolds
With myrrh dust
A merit
Alongside small saffron blooms

It's quite rich and, even though I can handle sweet scents, it's almost a bit too much for me. Honey, saffron, and amber to the max.

Balm in golden tones. Fine saffron. Even though it's rich and contains honey, I find it beautiful! Maurice Roucel indeed. Pure gold!
