Gold Woman
Gold Woman by Amouage is a feminine-leaning eau de parfum in the luxury price tier. It opens with rose, lily of the valley and frankincense, moves into myrrh, iris and jasmine and dries down to ambergris, civet, musk, cedarwood and sandalwood. Expect around 10 hours of wear, and it projects strongly.
Notes, explained
Opening
- Rose Can be jammy, green, peppery or soapy depending on the type. Not one smell.
- Lily of the Valley Clean, green, dewy floral. Reads as 'fresh laundry' to most people.
- Frankincense Bright, peppery, church-like resin. Lifts and cools a fragrance.
Heart
- Myrrh Bitter, smoky resin. Ancient-smelling and slightly cool.
- Iris Cool, powdery, slightly carroty and expensive. The luxury note.
- Jasmine Heady, sweet and slightly animal underneath. Rarely subtle.
Dry-down
- Ambergris Salty, animal, sun-warmed skin. Marine and musky at once.
- Civet Sharp, faecal and intense on its own. In trace amounts it makes florals glow.
- Musk Warm, skin-like and slightly sweet. Makes a fragrance feel like you.
- Cedarwood Dry, pencil-shaving woodiness. Clean and structural.
- Sandalwood Creamy, milky wood. Soft and almost edible.
