AMOUAGE Gold Man Guy Robert 1983 Luxurious Naughty and erotic Animalic I just don’t get enough of this! I love the animalic musky base in it, it’s so gorgeous. Civet and Oakmoss make it perfect. White florals in very vintage way are beautiful. The scent is little bit powdery because of Orris, very warm because of Myrrh. It’s bold. I think the only negative thing is that your partner has to like it as well. I’m lucky, he loves it. 🔥❤️ I tried the newest version and it’s easier but it lacks the original character imo. Some day I will have this in the original vintage bottle like women’s counterpart as well. 🤩 Now when they will do the limited editions in old shaped bottles I wish they will make the juice as close to the originals as possible. In-depth review later, the review of Gold Woman written. Thank you for reading and if you want to follow me on IG: @ninamariah_perfumes
The last one in my box of samples and I was aware this predated all off the others and was expecting a mega old Skool dose of manliness! Instead I was greeted by a floral explosion which put me in mind of Guerlain's Habit rouge just for a split second. Before the juice even had time to dry it strikes you...BABY TALCUM POWDER! In fact this reminds me of a rose hip talc my mum used to use when I was a kid...surprise surprise this has rose hip in it too and enough musk to sink a battleship!!! It's quite remarkable because then it changes yet again and the stinging habit rouge vibe comes back...then baby powder again...it's on a perpetual knife edge between the two and for me never once swings toward anything I would deem to be classic or masculine. I can't hate it though because its a very clean, kinda nice (if you get a little waft of it) kind of smell. It does Drydown with sandlewood and a vague amber, it changes subtly too while you strive to get past the powder and floral onslaught. I think comparisons with habit rouge are a bit harsh at least that has some teeth and very nearly a set of balls?...I'm afraid Amouage Gold smells like a baby's head coated with icing sugar and rolled in a flower bed. Vladimir Putin wears this?(sherapops comments below are the only thing that's "Gold" around here!) For me not the fragrance of a leader ...more a crying nappy shitter!
Oh no!!! This has dried down really far now and it's completely changed again the powdery talc is very low in the mix and a muggy, awful, dominant, animalistic smell has come though. The Civet has landed!!! and it's disgusting really the worst. Update: Dear oh dear...It's the next morning and I kept catching a whiff of this in the night. This stuff is LONG LIVED...that animal stink stays on your skin...well indefinitely?!?!?! I think it may have permeated my dermis like a tattoo. Once you put this on it doesn't want to come off! I hope I'm not stuck with it for life because despite me joking, I'm certainly not exaggerating this smells really really really bad! I have no clue why people want to smell this way...it's a total mystery.
