Euphoria Amber Gold Men

This is my third Euphoria flanker. I enjoy some of the flankers way more than the original and this one is no different. The original is a great scent but I smell it quite often... So.. Anyway. Standard bottle for the line with ambery tones. Good sprayer, nothin' fancy. Like Liquid Gold, this thing blasts off like an altered beast. A lot of cypress, honey and incense. That honey note (same powdery/sweet one from Euphoria Gold that I absolutely love) is used to sweeten the entire composition from top to base and is quite authentic. The cypress, as well, smells quality. However, the incense smells a tad synthetic. It has such a piercing strength in the opening, though, that I'm not sure I could say it smells synthetic for sure or if it's just overwhelming. As it dries down, the cypress fades and I get some herby concoction mixed with the honey and incense. This is where the leather note appears (honestly smells more like a suede to me) which endures into the drydown as well. Then the amber emerges, mixing with the suede, honey and incense jettisoning this fragrance into euphoria (no pun intended) territory for me. I'm not sure (as clearly a Middle Eastern style scent) how this would work in an arid, dry climate.. I would only wear this scent in the dead of winter, MAYBE fall and I live in a hot climate albeit a humid one. This would get cloying fast in the heat. Beast mode projection for about 2 hours, before settling into a nice bubble for around 8 more hours. This is, again like Liquid Gold, a beast. I wouldn't wear this formally. Though, I would DEFINITELY rock this for a date in the winter time. Letting it settle for a bit before going out, in fall, would be wise. Once it does settle, it has such a cozy, "come hither" aura. I think all ages could rock it, older gents would probably enjoy it more and it is definitely masculine. This one is fire and earned it's love from me. It's one in my collection that absolutely makes me wish I lived in a more climate appropriate place.

The most accurate description? ..... it has no description... while it does smell a lot like TF’s Amber Absolute, Bentley For Men Intense, and to my nose.. Lalique’s - Encre Noire A L’Extreme. It’s just as equally, not any of those 3. The mysterious “Entourage Effect” is on full display. No matter what you say, you’re kind of, really wrong in a way. It’s a very complex fragrance, a paradox of sorts. It’s paradoxical by way of being, discernible, and yet indiscernible, at the same time. If you look at the note break down. It is (100%) equally, every single one of those notes. Not a single one, is more pronounced than the next, and it surprisingly works... really well. It’s a musical composition, in fragrance form. The aromatic elements (cypress, oregano, thyme, and sage). Play off of each other, like the string section. The jasmine adds nuance and softens the edges. The honey, amber, and incense compliment each other, like the brass and woodwinds. Adding depth and fullness, to the orchestra of notes. All these sections balanced out, and kept in-line, by the leather and vetiver. The percussion section of the fragrance. While all this is going on. The bergamot pops in and out, like the ensembles necessary cymbals. All these well conducted by the conductor. The conductor who demands excellence, precision, and to play as one. All while being noticeable enough, to stand out. In only the specific ways the orchestra demands. This is a classical composition, for a modern era. Setting genre standards, all while sitting outside of the genre, whose standards it sets. An outside of the box composition, with widespread appeal. A classic for the history books, that reinvented the wheel.

Wow! Just, wow! I was doubtful about this stuff mainly because there's still less than 200 people voting. But it truly is amazing. I'm just going to start with the performance. It's not rated as highly as I think it should be. I have some definite beast mode scents like 1 Million Intense and Absolutely Gold, Rasasi Hawas, Ultra Male, Pure XS night, Code Profumo etc. and this blows them all away with longevity and is equal to the 1 Million's in projection. Now that's definitely beast mode. But what really makes this one special is the way it develops on skin. At first I was instantly reminded of Azzaro's Amber Fever. That stage which is of course the opening lasts about 30-45 minutes. And then this thing starts to transition. Every time I came back to it I got something different. It's truly unbelievable in the way it develops!!! If all fragrances were created like this one they would have five stages or more instead of just three. The middle of the development stages were reminiscent of Terre D'Hermes Parfum which I absolutely love and is probably the classiest fragrance in my collection. Then a few hours after that it becomes the most appealing, best smelling thing that I have ever put my nose on. It's this development that is the reason people are saying this is niche quality and I have to agree. I have niche fragrances that are far less in quality than this stuff is. Far less! But I also have designer fragrances that are equal to this, 1 Million Intense and Absolutely Gold in particular. So niche doesn't mean much to me, but this stuff is simply one of the best fragrances you can get on the market for ANY amount of money!!! Don't pass on an opportunity to get it.

Hey everyone, I've had a few months with this now and wanted to update my review. So, my wife got this for me as a Valentine's Day gift. Many thanks btw. So, when I was opening it up, I was expecting Euphoria with extra Amber and adding some Incense & Honey.. Well, I kind of got that, but the Euphoria base, that I absolutely LOVE is barely there. That isn't a terrible thing in this case because I own Euphoria Intense which is MY epitome of what Euphoria SHOULD smell like. The top 3 notes that stick out to me are Honey, Incense and Amber. Which is beautiful (IMO). It creates a authentic Honey, Smokey Amber that mixes so well with the leafy kitchen herbs. In which, provide that essence of leaving the stove after preparing your favorite dish. The herbal notes sit quietly and contently behind the curb of your neighborhood, but are just loud enough at 3am to be disruptive to your sleep. In higher heat like 75-85°F these notes really come out. Like the sound stage gets wider to make picking out the individual notes easier. The leathery note is there, but it gets veiled by the rest of the notes in the orchestra. So like laying on a brand new leather couch during a baking contest. You'll smell it, but it won't be what everyone else around you smells. The projection/sillage is easily 6ft for the first 2 hours, then hovers around 3ft for the next 4 hours. After the 8 hour mark, it caters to only your nose for the next several hours. Overall, it is a very well crafted fragrance, that will keep your senses wondering what note will shine next depending on what time of day, temperature, rain or shine, etc.

Just picked this up at Ross for $35. Sweet honey and boozy, ambery vanilla, and incense dominate but the herbs round out the scent perfectly. To my nose smells like Bentley Man Intense with better projection and more depth. The herbs seem to add volatility and breaks up the main notes into wonderful layers which increases the sillage and at the same time adds complexity. This one is strong...give it a few minutes before giving it a good sniff or it'll floor you. Seriously. I think the sweet spot for the scent is when the middle notes start to break through in the 15-30 min range which last about an hour then drys down to honey, amber, incense, leather. Honey, amber, jasmine and incense dominate and are present throughout. The cypress, oregano, sage, thyme, and vetiver in my opinion show up all at once in the heart of the scent and this is where all the magic happens, too bad it doesn't last the whole way thru the scent. But this is common with most scents. Best worn in Fall thru early Spring. Honestly, if it had a Amouage label Id wouldn't second guess it. Only negative is it smells a bit synthetic if you put your nose up too close. I think a woman can pull this off also but Id go very easy on the trigger, honestly for a girl, more then one spray would be overkill. For a guy I'd say 2-3 would be best. Quality juice almost Niche quality. Great scent, Great Performance, Great Longevity. Cheap price. Highly recommended it you like rich boozy oriental scents.

Revisiting this one, now that the weather has finally started cooling down... This has to be, without a doubt the finest, most atypical men's fragrance CK has ever produced. Atypical in being un-boring, a bit un-western, and completely un-designer-like. Euphoria Amber Gold is absolutely fantastic and well-balanced for such an affordable beauty. Which is why it makes perfect sense that CK would DISCONTINUE IT. Ugh. Scent-wise, it's a bit middle-eastern to my nose -- sweet but not too sweet amber resins -- for reference, think along the lines of ST DuPont's Noble Wood; a touch of dry woodiness that is vaguely similar to the likes of OFG or Bois Noir -- but more as a supporting note. You also get the most subtle and frankly incredible dry herbal nuance from the thyme/sage/oregano triad (I get mostly thyme) -- which along with the dry wood and leather juuuust modulate this gem away from what might have otherwise been cloying and gross, and into something that is balanced and undeniably attractive. And thanks to this delicate balancing act, the amber always remains the star of the show. THIS is amber done right. Lasts a good long while, too. EAG radiates maybe to arm's length, so it really isn't much of a projection beast. Similarly, it won't drown the room in its sillage. But that's alright. Just wear more if you want that. Personally, I wear this stuff for ME.

Calvin Klein "Euphoria Amber Gold for Men" is one of my favorite fragrances. In the spring of 2021, I bought a bottle of it for about $40-$50, and it is one of my best discoveries as a fragrance collector. I'm glad I bought two backup bottles of it soon after I got my first bottle of it. It is a very warm, vanillic amber fragrance which has a very thick Middle Eastern-style honeyed aspect to it. It has very good overall performance. I find it to be cloying if I wear it in humidity, but as soon as the weather isn't humid, Calvin Klein "Euphoria Amber Gold for Men" is something I look forward to wearing. Calvin Klein "Euphoria Amber Gold for Men" is of good quality and I highly recommend it. I understand why a lot of people describe it as being "niche quality", however, I see that it is being sold for greedy collector's item prices online, and I wouldn't pay too much money for it. From the Euphoria line, I own "Euphoria Amber Gold for Men", "Euphoria Pure Gold for Men", "Euphoria Intense for Men", and "Euphoria Liquid Gold for Men". I like all four of them, however, I think that my bottle of "Euphoria Liquid Gold for Men" might've started to gradually go bad already. UPDATE 12/7/24: My bottle of CK "Euphoria Liquid Gold for Men" has not started to go bad. It's still good.

When a somewhat washed-up designer house ventures from its well-beaten path of resting on the laurels of a glorious past while producing modern mediocrity (yes, that’s you Dunhill, Gucci) good things usually happen. One excellent release can help resurrect a flagging reputation. The Icon lineup for Dunhill and the new Guilty releases from Gucci spring to mind. CK... where have you been for the last few decades? What happened? Their atonement for generic duds like In2U, endless One and Eernity flankers is Euphoria Amber Gold. Where did this come from? Why isn’t there more like this from CK? And why discontinue their best fragrance in decades??? This is just divine. Warm, resinous, a touch sweet, and woodsy. It reminds me of Mugler’s Pure Wood, only I think this one is a touch better. There are layers- stages of development- every one of which smells amazing. This fragrance is still fairly easy to find but won’t remain long this way. It got little fanfare being a seventh son, but it’s a fall/winter gem. Wow. But sad that CK is sold on merely turning out endless flankers these days. This could have been a brand-reviver has it been marketed better (and not subsequently discontinued!).

CK Euphoria Amber Gold WOW!!! This is one of the best Amber fragrances out there right below MFK Grand Soir. This is an amazing scent, so sophisticated, luxurious and divine. It just makes you want to keep sniffing damn it CK . Its crazy how a designer could have released something like this let alone from CK. It is sad that this has been discontinued. I am not going to describe how this smells because its not going to do it justice, its just that complex and good. Please my lovely fragrance lovers those who already own this scent don't stock up, let others enjoy this scent especially those who are like you and me who love this hobby. Just don't hoard this but cherish these beauties with every use. Projection is good for 1 hour 30 min and lasts on skin for around 6 before it turns to a skin scent but during that time you can go nose blind to it and as always lasts longer on clothes. PS: This is blind buy worthy for those who like a sweet smoky ambery scent. Euphoria gold is mature and well blended. This one will be remembered from CK among the enthusiast and fragrance lovers.

Never cared to buy a CK fragrance prior to this one. Every one I smelled prior to this was just underwhelming and basic, to say the least. But the chatter about this one was just too much to not try. Blind bought this about a year ago for $49 on Fragrancenet. And I am kicking myself for not buying back up bottlessssss. And it would not have been to re-sell. SHHHEEESH!!! Every review prior to me has pretty much touched on every facet of this ridiculously good CK offering. If this was poured in to a Amouage bottle and given to me to try, I would not have questioned it. Its in that realm of middle eastern, ambery type of fragrances. Easily could have charged at least triple or more of what I payed for this. I feel like CK was tired of hearing the rumblings of how crap their fragrance line was. And just to show that they could run with the big dogs in the fragrance game, they release this gem. And then, discontinue it. They are toying with our emotions. For the low price I paid along with the really good quality, depth, and just beauty of this fragrance, it gets a 9/10.

This smells just like CK Obsession EDP for women. I remember when I bought it for my special-lady; I WANTED IT!! it was far superior to the men's version, while being quite masculine in scent-profile. But out of principle, I was NEVER going to wear perfume. Then, by chance, I stumbled across Euphoria Amber Gold, and was IMMEDIATELY enthralled in the beauty of it, as well as the sheer coincidence that it smelled damned-near identical to a perfume I'd bought for my lady. One that is so expensive smelling in its depth and scent-profile. Euphoria Amber Gold smells like I'd imagine an ultra-wealthy, super-masculine, ultra-healthy, stylish, worldly Arab businessman would smell. Completely BLOWN AWAY by this; this is CK's best work. This is the best smelling fragrance I've witnessed in at least a fifteen years, or EVER, next to the original 80's Christian Dior Fahrenheit (the silver bottled version). I don't think I've witnessed a better smelling fragrance than these two top place holders. Immediately bought 300ml of this luxury emulsion😍🔥

I found fragrances like this with low dosage of/mild amber a lot more enjoyable. A bit more cypress and incense would make this even better. For CK, this is surprisingly nice. I think this was a bit ahead of its time and that's probably why it was discontinued; if they bring it back now, it would be a big success. If you've tried other CKs and then try this, you won't believe this is done by the same company. It's a well-blended silky ambery aromatic woody fragrance. So nicely done. Price is a stinger at the moment though. However, I cannot think of any cheaper alternative for this. If you can get one at a reasonable price then get it. As others saying this has better than average silage and longevity. I love this. A blind buy that didn't disappoint. P.S. if you wanted this to be a bit more cypressy then layer it with Encre Noire 2 AG to 1 EN and if you wanted to be also smokier then 3 AG 1 EN A L'Extreme. Apply EN first and wait 10-15 mins then apply AG.

I had thought that with both Obsession EDT and EDP in my collection I wouldn't want for another amber fragrance. And then I saw this on sale at TJ Maxx (seems to be my gold mine) and gave it a shot. It does have a beautiful amber which runs throughout the life of the fragrance. What distinguishes this perfume are the herbal notes which also play a role from beginning to end. The amber gives it up to its coplayers. Really it lovely. Not as heavy as Obsession EDP. The honey coming up instead of vanilla makes this a lighter fragrance (lighter = subjective). The undertones of incense, cypress and vetiver brighten this perfume up. For me it's a great deal lighter than other amber fragrances and will be easier to wear going out when there might be a lot of people and don't want to come on too strong. This is still an autumn winter perfume. I'm glad I gave this a shot. I'll be using this for sure.

EVERY TIME I wear this, random women compliment me, when I'm out and about. I layer this with "something else" to make the sillage, projection and longevity NUCLEAR. Women LURVE this on me; I was at a pharmacy in Sainsbury's and the head pharmacist immediately stopped what she was doing to tell me, "oh my god, you smell SOOOO NICE!!😍 How tall are you?...😍" 🤣👏🏾 Want to know what I layer it with? Search my profile, read my comments and see what I layer my sweet fragrances with... When I first bought this, my lady thought it was, "OK...a 6🤷🏾♂️" but then I layered it, and she gave it a 10/10, stating, "you smell like Parmaviolet sweets!...😍" I'm so glad I stocked up on this stuff, as it's now nowhere to be found, apart from scalpers on EBay. I immediately bought 3x 100ml bottles!😳😍 This fragrance is a conversation starter for women. It smells refined and gentlemanly. SCORE!!!!😃🙌🏾

A beautiful ambery and semi-sweet infusion that just screams sophistication, sensuality and a quiet but, confident masculinity. The leather, citrus, honey and inscense mingle and blend into each other so well from the very first spray. Once you get into about an hour into the journey, that's when the real good stuff starts to happen. The leather, sweetness from the honey and amber still is there but, the inscense and vetiver start to play a bigger role giving it a smooth and deeper aroma that is sensual yet clean as the hours roll on. Definitely the best release from CK in some time. Don't waste any time thinking about it people as I have both a '18 & '19 batches and they are identical in scent, sillage and longevity (easily 8 hours on my skin) with both. This juice will creep up to legendary status until it gets reformulated. That's a guarantee.....

I'm 26 years old guy, i have lot of popular niche and designer fragrances, i have Parfum de marly layton and pegasus, acqua di parma leather, creed aventus, amouage reflection man, mancera cedrat boisée, maison margiela by the fire place, spice bomb extreme, issey miyake or incense, dior homme intense... you name it, i have it. But never i fall in love with a fragrance more than this one, never had i have compliment from girls like i have with this fragrance, the compliment factor is insane, my girlfriend go crazy about it. This more niche quality that all the niches that i have, smell very natural, beast mode performance last two days on skin and project for a day. And the best part of it i bought it for only 33 euros which is roughly 40 dollars. This fragrance is the holy grail of any frag head. The epitome of perfumery.

Such a warm, deep, tantalizing fragrance. I am admittedly a CK fanatic. The big ones have been with me since I was a teenager. My first fragrance ever was Obsession for men. From there I moved to Eternity, then Escape. I kinda quit wearing cologne in my late 30's. Now, in my 50's, I have not only gotten back into fragrances I have gone right back to my favorites, but also ventured out with newer releases. I am so glad I saw a review for this one on Youtube. Euphoria Amber Gold and Reveal are the 2 newer CK frags that I have fallen in love with. Both are highly recommended, and unfortunately, both are discontinued. It seems this one is going up in price rather quickly as well. Get it while you can.

Strong amber, bold, very masculine is in this bottle. Confidence, rich and something Arab ( Personnally thinking) that I will describe for this perfume. Super rich of amber plus herbals are all I got. It's possible to loving or hating for some people. 2-3 spray in daytime is enough and some more when going out or cold whether. Not for teenage at all. Asking me about how I felt? I like it, not bad, although it's so strong at the beginning for me but after that it turned to something little sweet, woody things without cloying. Guarantee for long longevity. Another one on my shelf. Scent only I give 7.5/10 but with special price and a 20% discount I gave 8/10.

Masterpiece honestly I bought this at a discounted price that's almost criminal.The fact this smells very close to some highly rated niche gems shows us that you can be sensible with your money and get quality stuff.Hence the name😁 so this is a very luxurious exotic smelling fragrance fit for a sultan.This is a stunner and show stopper style of fragrance it is really something only true enthusiasts will know.Despite all of the aforementioned it will still be mass appealing and while it smells unique,it is never unpalatable or unwearable.Its just foreign to the average western nose so will get you distinct compliments.

Well, sadly, this baby has been discontinued. It is nice, but you can still get almost the same vibe from Bentley For Men Intense. That sweet, ambery scent is prevalent in both! I would say they are 80% - 90% similar. However, CK Gold Amber, projects far more than Bentley. You need to go easy on the sprayer or you'll be choking people out. I could not see wearing this in any other weather than cold .. icy cold! This is a winter season ONLY fragrance, and it is a BEAST! I am a rugged lookin' dude, so sweet scents don't always work with me, however, this one is fiery enough to do the trick. Recommended!
