Liquid Gold Euphoria

I was gifted euphoria liquid gold on my birthday recently. I'm not a huge fan of ck fragrances, especially his euphoria line ,so was kind of reluctant to try it. But curiosity got the best of me and I sprayed my hand with the smallest of squirts,and OH MY GOD!!!! it was magical. I was instantly transported to the land of flying carpets and spice markets. Spicy yet sensual. I looked at the notes here on fragrantica and was surprised to see just three. Cinnamon, orchid and sandalwood. But then this is what the magic of blending notes in perfumery Is all about. Opens with a huge blast of woody cinnamon. Not the sweet bakery scent kind, but real cinnamon, raw and woody. There is a note somewhere in it which is kind of familiar to ck's contradiction perfume, but I can't yet place my finger on it. The sandalwood makes it creamy and smooth. I'm not sure how an orchid smells like so can't vouch for that. I do get faint hints of oud but it's not written in the official notes. I'm hopelessly in love. its available widely in the Middle East. I'm thinking, if shehrzad of 101 Arabian nights wore a perfume, this would be it.Divine!

I have bought this one blindly for ridiculously little money, and I fell in love 🥰. For me, this is not strong. At all. Very delicate, elegant, mysterious, spicy caramel. Mainly caramel, less spices, a hint of vanilla creaminess. It is so pleasant for colder months, I find the dry down somewhat similar to Byredo : Bal'd Afrique. I could bath in it. I am surprised it is described as oriental fragrance 😳 I do have oriental perfumes, this is far from them. Oriental perfumes are jam-packed with notes and aromas. Whereas this is light cloud around you. I will wear it now during cold autumn 🍁🍂 🎃👻 and winter ❄️🌨️☃️. I am happy that I have bought this discontinued gem 🎁💎😊. Now no one can smell like me👍

EUPHORIA with a dash of cinnamon & sandalwood... Opens with a warm-spicy burst of cinnamon & fruity-florals, that deepens into a floral heart of black-orchid with near-violet, creamy, sweet, fruity & warm-spicy tones, resting on a sandalwood base with trace patchouli. Overall what I get is the original Euphoria Calvin Klein, with a thin additional layer of cinnamon-sandalwood. It's as if the listed fantasy note of 'black orchid' is code for the original Euphoria Calvin Klein. The longer it's on the skin, the more the cinnamon-sandalwood combo comes out. Personally, I would have liked the original Euphoria to be dialed back even further in this composition, but I'm still enjoying it. Enjoy!

Super erotic fragrance, and I agree with a.iioana, it has Tom Ford quality and feel to it. No wonder that I love it. There is a smoldering sweetness to this that, combined with the warm spice, brings pure sensuality to the surface. A real femme fatale in my opinion. I do not get the masculine vibe at all. For me it is not even unisex. She is a dark, super sensual lady. So fitting wearing an all black sexy outfit, fake eyelashes and big hoop earrings. Thanks so much to my swap partner bcars10 for allowing me to experience and own this gorgeous dream in a bottle. Like the saying goes: Someone's owl is another ones nightingale, and I found a nightingale in Liquid Gold, indeed!

I own Tag Her Prestige, yet I still wanted the Liquid Gold Euphoria. Do they smell the same? YES. They are 99% identical. Not certain which came out first though, as both came out around 2014. Liquid Gold was a limited edition and was on the expensive side. If you missed out, you can feel confident buying the Tag.....for about half the cost. The Tag has a vanilla note in it, but it is not very noticeable, it just gives it a smoother, rounder feel than the Liquid Gold has. I am not upset that I purchased both. I wear them on a regular basis and they are fabulous and unique scents.
