Gold

Commodity's Gold is a masterfully blended resinous, aromatic vanilla; one of my favorite fragrances of all time. This is comfortingly sweet yet not cloying, and a super classy pick. The star of the show here is obviously Commodity's scrumptious vanilla note. Though this is a very distinct fragrance from Commodity's Milk, the powdery, gourmand vanilla note is carried over; it reminds me of the powdery coating store-bought marshmallows have. This vanilla is beautifully combined with aromatic juniper notes and powdery musks which makes this fragrance far less gourmand than anticipated. The mid and top notes are complimented perfectly by a bed of airy sandalwood and a sumptuous yet unobtrusive benzoin note. The sillage is completely adequate, about a 6/10 strength, but it is noticeable as this gets me heaps of compliments. The longevity is good enough as well, I get 6-8 hours of weartime. This is aromatic enough to be worn throughout most of the year, but I think it shines in cold weather. Overall, this is a fantastic, unique vanilla fragrance that is super comforting yet classy. 10/10. Side note: If you are looking for something with better projection, I would NOT recommend the Gold+ Bold iteration, as I find that fragrance to be completely ruined by an added note of screechy, cardboard-like saffron in the Bold scent space.

I really really love this perfume. I don't know if it just reacts really well with my skin, but it's addicting to smell on myself and one of the very few perfumes I don't get very quickly anosmic to. It's pretty simple, but not in a way that's boring. I am a true gourmand lover, I want to smell stupidly sweet and edible like you just walked into Willy Wonka's chocolate factory. This is a much more mature and elevated version of that, Gold sits very sweet and vanilla-y on my skin but without being a sucker punch of sugar. I loooove the slightly spicy, woody, incense base from the sandalwood and benzoin. A lot of people here are saying the longevity is quite weak but I haven't noticed that at all, it definitely doesn't last all day long, but certainly 5-6 hours and I can smell it faintly on my clothes the next day. As a lot of people are saying, the juniper note doesn't really come through, but that hasn't dissuaded me lol. This is a very warm, comforting, sweet fragrance that I would absolutely recommend to any gourmand lovers looking for something easy to wear and elevated from a typical sugar bomb.

There are so many Gold Commodity fragrances on fragrantica that I get confused on which one is which. To be clear - there are three different versions: Gold - (Personal, white bottle), Gold (Expressive, black bottle white lettering), Gold + (Bold, black bottle bronze lettering). The notes on this page align with the Gold expressive, which is Commodity's first rendition of Gold. This is a beautiful fragrance for cooler weather and winter time. The sweetness of the benzoin is very prominent throughout but it's not overbearing or nauseating in any way. I get zero powder from this at all. The vanilla in Gold reminds me of the vanilla I get from from Nishane Ani without the ginger and cardamom. If I could rename this one I would call it sweet balsam or sweet winter, because that's what it reminds me of. The sillage and longevity are moderate, but I have received compliments on this from men in the winter. Especially when laying it with by the fireplace (ultimate winter bomb). I don't reach for it often, but when I do it makes me soooo happy. Good memories of the holidays and snowcapped pine trees :)

I had first tried the Gold + (Bold) and fell in love with its creaminess and that subtle nutmeg note, so I was delighted but sceptical when I received this in my Ipsy box as a Choice item. I had to try it immediately! It doesn't disappoint - I love this scent as much as the Bold version - it's unique, creamy, slightly spicy, and definitely not overly vanilla-heavy. This fragrance is an incredibly well-blended fragrance, and I applaud Commodity for busting out and away from the typical perfume notes that we're seeing through the 2020's which seem to be no more than throwbacks to the 80's/90's perfumes. This scent truly sings when the weather is more wintery. Projection is good but a safe office scent. Longevity is decent, but with proper moisturizing prior to application, this can last all day, and it certainly lasts all day (and night!) on clothing. A beautiful breakaway from your typical perfumes!

When I smell this perfume I get a very mellow creamy sort of green scent. I have never smelled any perfume like this, so I would say it's unique. I feel like this is the type of perfume that I would likely spray more times because of how mellow the scent is, I usually do about 4 sprays. However, I think this perfume could use about 6-8 sprays. To me, this perfume is unisex and doesn't lean in either direction. The scent is cozy, and comforting and sort of reminds me of going on holiday in the mountains during the wintertime. It's creamy, sweet and green and there's a good balance between all of it. Sometimes perfumes will be heavy leaning in one direction, but the notes in this perfume blend well together.
