Liquid Gold Euphoria Men

I work at Macy's as a vendor for Coty Prestige and we just got this fragrance in and I absolutely love it. It's such a quality sandalwood combined with that dry saffron. The opening is a bit weird because the saffron and sandalwood come off as smokey in tandem. I think it's the most unique and "niche" out of the Calvin Klein range. I was told by other vendors and associates that not many people are liking it due to the strong woody opening. It is a bit above the mainstream to really appreciate, not to sound like a snob. The drydown is more dusty sandalwood and saffron and it's definitely more approachable and I hate this word but "cozy". I really hope that we keep this one in our lineup because I think other fragheads/people in the fragrance community will really enjoy it. The projection is strong at first but I think it becomes a skinscent after about 2 to 3 hours; longevity is pretty good too. I got at least 6 hours on my skin and that was on dry skin. The price is steep for this Eau De Parfum. It's in the high $90's to $100 range in one size with no gift sets as of right now. Some may say this fragrance is too simplistic and I can see that, but compared to other fragrances on the market today with every note but the kitchen sick, Demeter you should be making that one ;), it's nice to have a fragrance stripped back. This is probably the most niche quality fragrance Calvin Klein has produced. Perfect for all and winter. Update*: The price has gone down to $85, at least that's what the cash register rang it up as. Get it while you can.

Calvin Klein Liquid Gold Euphoria was allegedly released only outside the US in 2014 when it came out but luckily it has become available on BeautySpin recently ($72 for 100ml) so I was fortunate enough to grab a bottle. Its mainstay notes are vanilla, pepper, and balsam fir, but I get an element of sandalwood as well. The result is a very nice cold-weather-friendly composition that stands out from the rest of the Euphoria line. To that point, Liquid Gold is the best expression of Euphoria I've tried--the sweetness of the line, with the spiciness of Gold, peppiness of Intense, yielding a truly interesting gourmand creation. Warm, spicy, sweet, smooth--this could be a cold weather mainstay for many. Liquid Gold Euphoria also has the distinction (for me) of being the only EDP concentration Calvin Klein's men fragrance on the market that I'm aware of, though I could be neglectful here. Accordingly, performance is very strong in terms of both projection and especially longevity. And although I'm testing it in the day, this is definitely preferable for nighttime usage, and can dress up well for formal occasions. I almost find this worthy of being kept in the cooler, though it's not terribly expensive. Certainly a compelling blind buy and something you ought to check out if you like the sound of it---the consensus seems to be strongly in its favor. 8 out of 10

Outlet stores have become a regular outing for me lately as I've been finding super buys. This is one of them and what a pleasant surprise. I've had a modicum of success with CK overall, so I can't be too dramatic about it. Euphoria Gold, Reveal, Shock, Escape... Even Dark Obsession is pleasant enough. All pale in comparison to this baby right here. The opening is a jolt to the senses. Woody, spicy, sweet. STRONG. Nothing smells synthetic at all, superb quality. Being a fairly simple scent, Liquid Gold delivers on it's promises of a natural smelling mixture of it's parts. It stays a strong woody and spicy for quite awhile into the dry down. There is where it hits it's mark. A dry, almost powdery version of the beginning is left projecting for what seems like forever. Warm, sweet, so creamy. This bad boy is date signature ten fold but beware... If you spray this too many times (like I did) expecting a little more from your CK, your date may not be able to breathe. Longevity and sillage are beastly. I would say this is in my top five most intense fragrances. I would suspect it for an older crowd, probably above 30. Cold weather is probably going to be your best bet as well. For the price I see it going for online, I'd say well worth it. May not be for some so blind buying may not be appropriate but I'm sure glad I did.

This is a really great fragrance. It smells really good. It's warm spicy woody safranny/leathery. I do get some powderiness and fresh spicy on top of it and the opening is a bit balsamic to my nose but that settles down very fast. Overall, after amber gold I am truly surprised by this coming from CK. I did manage to get one of the 2015 bottles so not sure about reformulations later. If Chopard Oud Malaki and Euphoria amber gold had a baby that would be this. It's different from both but also share some DNA. If you have oud Malaki or Amber Gold and you like it, and you can find one of these at a reasonable price then I would highly recommend to give it a try. IMO, another fragrance from CK that was probably ahead of its time and if resurrected it would probably see a lot more success. Good lesson for me to not overlook fragrances because of the brand's reputation.

I never thought I would own another CK fragrance again and here I am writing a review. CK was popular among my peers and I growing up and after running threw all the originals and owning a few, I moved on. That was until I stumbled across liquid gold and blind bought it based on reviews here that it was niche. @FreshTones said it: woody, spicy, and sweet which I find blissful! To top it off, it's a powerhouse for longevity. Indoors, this will last easily 12 hours! I simply couldn't ask for more. Although I havent tried Euphoria Gold, this blows away the original and intense versions imo. Perfect for winter and fall. Warm climate buyers should be careful since it may be over powering in hot climates.
