Giordani Gold Original

A simple clean aquatic and fresh white floral woody musk fragrance. I bought it at an airport Duty Free shop. This is an EDT more than EDP even if it reads EDP on the bottle. When you spray it, it's a fresh delicious pure orange scent. The citrus top notes come through loud and clear. A zesty vibrant orange and lemon and even though it is very fresh and strong it does not overcome the fragrance. Almost immediately the shower of citrus turns floral; white floral, with a distinct orange blossom, jasmine and lily. The white flowers are not those big huge white florals either. They are soft, light, sweet and delicate, resembling white petals of flowers dipped in water. Aquatic is another good description of this perfume. It's like a little waterfall. It wears on for like 2 hours and then gets into the dry down. The driest part of the scent is wood and patchouli. There could be a vanilla note thrown in there as well. But the woods are quite soft and the patchouli not as big as the vanilla. At the very end I am pick up on a note of clean white musk. This is a smooth, soapy, almost lactonic fragrance. It is like white floral soap with a milky white floral air that never gets heavy. If you like soapy florals and citrus florals as well as musks this is absolutely the best arrangement of all those notes in one perfume. The scent is meant to be worn casually or daily. It's office safe and can be worn to work in public. Nothing particularly glam or sophisticated. It's a day time spring/summer scent to put on after a shower and when you get dressed and head out on your day to day activities smelling clean and bright. I wish this lasted longer. I keep putting on more and more throughout my work day. It's also comforting and soothing and smells so good.

This perfume is way stronger than the Versace Vanitas EDT I have just reviewed. Dear, this is so strong on floral notes and patchouli! Pure essential oils of white lily! Once I have received this perfume it soon became one of my favourites, after the first spray actually! The dry down is also divine, a very clear and pronounced combination of oakmoss and patchouli. This is Oriflame at its best. Giordani Gold Original is the pure definition of a chypre. The mandarin at the beginning is a little off, but it disappears quite fast. Once we get to the heart of the composition we are greeted with a white beautiful lily. This would make a perfect special occasion perfume.

perfect! Mossy, earthy, woody smell, and it has this huge sileage which is not overwhelming, but very elegant and down to earth with a hint of flower breeze delight. Citrus only on the top, at the opening, but not as much developed further, or maybe it gets loss in the moss earth wood patchuli smell. I'd say this one is one of the rear smells that exudes elegance, maturity, still keeps it interesting

The bottle looks better, more beautiful more expensive and more elegant, the scent seems like the old but I think it's lighter and smoother, not sharp like the old one.

I am so confused this fragrance screams POWDER to me!! It's white floral no doubt, but also a very patchouli heavy dense powder. The combination of orange peels and oakmoss may translate to light airy fluffy to some noses, and i also get some of that, but the powder is just so intense that i could never wear this alone. Lately ive been layering it with lighter fragrances such as VS bombshell and they somehow work together well. This way the florals and citruses take the centre stage while the powder is now just a subtle side character without losing the original Giordani dna. It may sound like i don't even like this fragrance, but quite the contrary i find it to be a really unique and charming piece. It performs well and is versatile enough to layer with various types of fragrances. You just have to know how to wear it well. I say this will work for all seasons except for summer, but my best choices would be for early spring and early winter.
