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.
"Since the complexity of the scent is limited" - that's quite a statement for a fragrance by Maurice Roucel. I actually find "Gold" to be quite complex... and so does my best friend.
