Gold -

Do you work around other people? Do you have that one coworker who HATES perfume (those poor, miserable souls) and complains if they smell it? If you answered yes to those questions, but you cannot imagine leaving the house without a protective cloud of olfactory gorgeousness around you, Gold- might be right for you. The composition is unique, appealing, and ethereal with Iso E Super and vanilla taking prominent roles. The projection is intimate, but YOU will be able to smell it for several hours. Gold- is an office fragrance that doesn’t feel like a compromise. This is the fourth fragrance I've tried from the big discovery box and its the first one that is going on my "to buy" list. I'm going to wear Gold and Gold+ over the next two days, so we'll see if I need a bolder version soon, too.

Commodity Gold Personal is perfect on those days when you want to smell great but also want to be gentle with your nose. I love this take on vanilla—dry, airy, and warm. I adore fragrances and I have a lot of heavy hitters in my collection, but sometimes I crave simplicity. CGP is just that—relaxing and calming due to its minimalist aesthetic. It's the kind of fragrance perfect for a cool autumn day at home curled up under an afghan throw on the sofa with a good book and a hot cup of tea. It's also light enough to be worn in summer. I love it and for me, FBW. Just a heads up! Commodity is raising the price on all personal and expressive fragrances on July 11, 2022, so if you had your eye on a fragrance from one of these two categories, now is the time to buy.

Gold- was the first scent I was drawn to in the Commodity line, and I primarily get a cozy woody vanilla. I love to wear it around my house and it's very comfortable as a wind down for the evening. It sits extremely close to the skin, and sometimes I feel like I can't smell it at all even an hour after I put it on, but it ends up still being there. It's just very subtle, unlike some of the other vanillas I've approached lately, especially Vanilla Skin. I don't find any of the base notes suggested here--no nutmeg, saffron, or patchouli.

Beautiful, soft, almost addictive at first spray. Doesn’t last long, but it is the personal version. As a person who dislikes iso e super, the use of it in this fragrance is delicate and smart, barely there note that enhances the scent. Smells like soft light, warmth, comfort. Not cloying, light a delicate sun ray.

I will say I like the personal quite a bit more than the bold- the green/pine-y notes are toned down but the juniper definitely still comes through in a very pleasant way- it's more well-blended than the bold imo and just sits better on my skin:) Perfect f/w everyday scent!
