Queen of Gold

Somehow this feels like a very fitting perfume for both winter and summer. The cocoa, sandalwood and vanilla give you that instant cozy feeling while the fruity notes take you away to a faraway tropical island. Lasting power is pretty great on me, effortly lasting a full evening. It reminds me of a younger version of the legendary Neonatura Cocoon perfume by Yves Rocher. Well done!

A cheaper copy of Dolce&Gabbana Pour femme, that's why I like it, but the "original" is much better. Marshmallowy sweetness, but not a gourmand punch in your face,this one is tender. On skin the fruits develop nicely.

As much as don't like to be seen or known to wear Naomi Campbell perfume at this age ( I am over 16), this is such a lush fragrance! I find that many of her fragrances have a presence, and they are all different and most importantly, they are created using a lot of skill. The mature take on chocolate in Queen of Gold is top notch! The fragrance is multilayered, creating an envelope of smooth rich chocolate aroma with quite a lot of jasmine and dark fruit. It is not a spicy chocolate, rather it has a very well blended freesia and jasmine with added fruit and chocolate. Quite sweet and heady but by no means heavy. I personally was very impressed. I think that this perfume would have far more reviews and followers had it been created by a known brand with better marketing..and maybe a different bottle.

It is now June 25th and I can't find this anywhere! Thought it was launching in June!! I am in no way a fan of the Diva that is Ms Campbell and do not own any of her other fragrances but this appeals to me. I am a lover of Venezia and according to the Fragrantica description and the description on Ms Campbell's website this perfume ticks all of my boxes.So I am on the hunt for it, but can I find it, no.Any info on where to get this would be very much appreciated.

Update: I have ordered this from Amazon Germany as I cannot find it in the UK anywhere! So I now await delivery, here's hoping it's worth all the effort! 4th July 2013. This arrived today. I have had a quick spritz and fallen in love! This is a lot like Venezia but although these frags have similar ingredients different notes stand out at different levels. Love it! Only wish I could buy it here in the UK. I wonder why it's not available here?
