Michael Kors Gold Luxe Edition

Sweet, tropical, natural smelling soft white flowers and so creamy. Then a little green patch giving it an edge of sophistication. I like to spray this at the end of a work day and sink into my sheets... My nose does not do well with heavy tuberose usually but this is soft, smells like Hawaii. That’s what my kids say too! The patchouli here is subtle too and I love that little woody, green edge that creeps out to mingle with the sweet, soft flowers! I get about a 4 hour tour with this. Layered with coconut body cream and OMG heavenly...

Michael Kors Gold Luxe is beautiful and opulent! This is what gold should smell like. This 2013 Luxe version is spicier, but smoother than the original Michael Kors, which is too heady for me, and it's much better than the 2011 gold version. The notes are very well-blended, and it doesn't have the sharp edges to it like the other versions. I love this one and wish I had discovered it sooner.

I’m far from an expert at placing notes but what I do know is this smells so yummy, it’s addicting! We’re in the colder weather now but I think this would be perfect for spring and summer. It’s fresh but not too sweet and could be good for a casual night out. The longevity isn’t too bad either.

this puts spring in my heart on a snowy day.... love!

This is very sweet, even sweeter than the original, and patchouli heavy. At first spray all I could smell was a honeyed patchouli. The florals come out more in the middle and they're heady, syrupy lush white florals. The base loses some of the charm and ends up a soft sandalwood and hyacinth fragrance. I miss the drama of the first 20 minutes. The fragrance starts out a panther and leaves a newborn fluffy kitten.

Not normally the kind of perfume I would go for, but picked it up on sale and pleasantly surprised. Great for daytime wear or something to wear to the office that won't offend anyone. Very, very floral, soft and powdery. Not great staying power, but perfect for daytime, especially in hot & humid climates where anything stronger will give you a headache & knock you out!

Wow. This is full bottle worthy. While wearing this, I actually am taken back to the days of Paul Sebastian's "Design!" There's no civit in this, but the hyacinth I think is giving this a bit of a skanky scent. Silage becomes noticeable, but soft. Longevity has been going strong for three hours now.

It occurred to me today.....that this smells like white wine on my skin. Seriously, like I dumped a glass of pinot grigio on myself. Yummy yummy!!!

Sweeeet Florals Pleasant smell

MK Gold Luxe has been on my shelf for a few years now and I love it. For reasons unknown, I haven't reached for it as often as I thought I would when I purchased it. But I'm wearing it today, and still loving it, so I'll toss my review in here for consideration..... If you're a fan of white florals, balsamic undertow, and amber warmth then you'll enjoy MKGL. Think Dior Dune, but less salty, more floral. Think JPG Classique, but less lactonic, and a touch spicier. There are notes not listed in Fragrantica....coumarin, cinnamon, geranium...so there's a tinge of green, an animalic ghost, and a whisper of chai spice in the drydown. The white florals border on heady and lead without ever fully consuming the composition, which is nice. There's a tension I really enjoy in that. Development is fairly linear. It smells much the same start to finish. Sillage is just beyond arm's reach and longevity is all day for me, even in 90 degree heat. It's relatively inexpensive so if you're a fan of those notes, go for it. Maybe the reason I don't reach for it as much as I intended to is bc while it's lovely, it IS rather "luxe" and I don't often have the occasion. Many believe you should just wear what you want when you want. I tend to agree but something about MKGL makes it especially suitable for a special occasion and I lead a pretty humdrum life.

Just tried this from a carded sample ,two sprays.My opinion ? Smells a LOT like Kim Kardashian's first one ( which was a tribute to the original MK scent so ...definite family resemblance). My nose says Gardenia opening probably with Freesia for extra sweetness. Then it moves to the heart which smells like it's Tuberose and a light Patchouli which continue till they die down to skin scent level about two hours later. (Similar to the longevity of Juicy Couture Viva La Juicy).Tested on a rainy day temps in the 60-mid 70s. I'm not getting any Hyacinth ,Ambergris ,or Sandalwood to amount to anything on my skin. For people cautious about Patchouli,this is noticeable but not harsh like Angel edp ,Prada,or Fancy Nights ( dark wash jean level with little or no sanding would be my visual for darkness of Patchouli level) . This is more like J Lo's Love & Light as far as the note compares ( light baby blue to medium wash jean color in Patchouli depth/darkness ). To sum up : sweet Tuberose floral with a medium -light Patchouli for dissonance and fairly poor longevity . Nice but not extremely remarkable,I prefer the original and the Suede flanker that I already own.

I did this purchase as a blind buy, relying on the reviews here. I find Michael Kors Gold Luxe edition to be extremely floral which is something I don't really go for. It opens strong of hyacinths, too much so. I love the smell of hyacinths but this is overwhelming. I'm hoping it will ease up on the dry down to get more of the sandalwood but not so far. If I were to wear this again, it would be best during the day and maybe early spring. This is definitely not my favorite. If anyone is interested, I have a 1oz available for trade!

The notes are as follows (unless they reformulated at some point): Top Notes: Hyacinth, orange flower, violet leaves, water lily and mandarin Middle Notes: Jasmine sambac, tuberose, gardenia, day lily and plumeria Bottom Notes: Creamy sandalwood, patchouli, oakmoss, sensual musks and cashmere woods This is the closest to the discontinued Michael Kors Suede I’ve been able to find. I’m in love with Suede and I’ve blind bought this. Hopefully, I’ll love it just as much. I just love Michael Kors perfume.

Very creamy and floral.... smells a bit like wine yes, a kind of sweet explosion of white wine. Something ambery and green there too. I've never smelled anything like this before. The tuberose remains me of the tuberose in Noix De Tuberose Miller Harris. Plus nivea cream. Plus white wine. Yep I told you it's weird.

Has this changed? You list: Top note is hyacinth; middle notes are tuberose and gardenia; base note is sandalwood. Website/Sephora list: Notes: Tuberose, Plumeria, Musk. Big difference....only similar note is tuberose. Just wondering before I hit the store tonight to try it...
