Gold Rush Man

Miss Hilton is a fragrance genius. Paris Hilton "Man" in the blue bottle is one of the best men's fragrances I've ever smelled and quite unique to add. I had high hopes for this one (with good reason) and was not let down in any way. Okay well...at first I was. At first sniff it will remind you a lot of Jean Paul Gaultier Le Male mixed with Paco Rabanne One Million. We've all come across a million of those by now...no pun intended lol. At first sniff...this smells like one of those "I've-smelled-this-ten-times-before" fragrances. But now I've given it 3 proper wears and I see now that you've got to give this one about an hour or so to really blossom and get into character. After about an hour the lavender/vanilla/caradamom combo really emerges into this beautiful masculine mildly, warm spicy soap smell and it is TO DIE FOR! Also to note...the performance is AMAZING! Short story...I work in a dental office...and my second wear of this fragrance, I sprayed it on at 8:00 in the morning, did NO touch ups throughout the day...and the last patient of the day at 5:45PM...over NINE hours later...checked in with me at the front desk and said "May I ask you a question?" And I said of course. She hands me a sticky note and says "Please write down the name of the perfume you are wearing...I want to get it for my husband." I was stunned as I thought it had already tapered off into nothing. And mind you, she was standing about 3 feet away from me on the other side of my sliding glass window. Scent Itself - 9/10 Lonvevity - About 8-9 hours with only 5-6 sprays. Spray your neck twice and each arm 1-2 times and it lasts ALL day. Sillage - 4 feet or so. Overall Score - 9/10 Paris Hilton may be called all kinds of names in the media. But her fragrance empire is something I highly respect her for and her fragrances (most of them anyway) I absolutely love. This one is no exception. Amazing job to Paris Hilton, the perfumer(s) involved, and Parlux for this amazing release. I love it and will tell everyone I know to buy it. Two big thumbs up.

First off I'd like to say that I own both 1 Million and Coach Platinum, and this is not identical to either of them. It definitely leans much more toward the 1 Million side than the Coach Platinum though, but it's not really that close to it either. If you can imagine taking 1 Million and toning down the citrus in the opening, adding a REALLY NICE Lavender note in the mid, and swapping out the leather in the base for vanilla then you will have Gold Rush. I love loud and sweet fragrances and this doesn't disappoint. Adding the beautiful Lavender note to this really made it different from anything else that I have smelled that is on the market now. It adds such a nice fougere feel to this fragrance. The oriental fougere description doesn't quite describe this to me. I would say that it's a gourmand oriental fougere. The vanilla is so sweet, yet when you add the powderiness of the Tonka Bean and the fougere quality of the Lavender it just makes such a pleasurable scent that you can't stop smelling your hand/wrist. And I haven't even mentioned how amazing of a deal this stuff is. Simply put, this is DEFINITELY the best fragrance that I have ever purchased for under $30!!! With Banana Republic's Cypress and Cedar coming in a pretty close second. And I even paid less than $20 for them both. Grabbed both of them from Burlington for $19.99. So, if you see this stuff for under $30 anywhere, don't hesitate to grab it. You won't be disappointed. Edit: I wore this early this morning and then later I was in the mood for Allure H'omme Sport Eau Extreme' and I was blown away by how similar they are!!! If there is any fragrance out there that this smells like it is definitely that one. This one is a little more sweet while the Chanel is more aromatic and definitely higher quality. Also, Gold Rush doesn't have the best performance, even though AHSEE doesn't have great performance this one is even less strong. When it comes to longevity that is. 65⁄6

"Bruno killed Paris" this falls on the same topic about BDC to SAUVAGE or EROS EDT to EROS FLAME. I smell the resemblance of PH goldrush to Coach Plat and having both of them might be redundant. although there are slight differences, Coach Plat stands out in performance being more "loud" in sillage and projection while PHGoldrush shy's away to being moderate and more refined to my skin (both have similar longevity 5-6hours on skin). The mandarin orange note is faint but detectable even at the heart., while coach plat's pineapple screams until the end. If you like coach platinum but looking for a more refined vanilla amber mid note accord that isnt too loud., check this out. On its own PH gold rush is its own fragrance and I love to have it in my shelf. (got this as a gift., and ill be skipping coach plat) Thanks bro UPDATE: I have to agree to a comment i found here below. comparing this to coach plat is an insult. I was about to turn my way towards coach plat but after several wearings the vanilla-amber-tonka of ph goldrush is waaayy more smoother! i find the drydown of coach plat to go past the borderline of being off putting and its too strong for a date night scent. im happy and suprised on how this performs.

Obviously being a Paris Hilton fragrance, my hopes were really up. It was her first men's fragrance in years and I love her original men's one. Got my bottle and have been using it for 2 weeks now. Is it worth the wait? Yes. Her fragrances are on the high-end of celebrity fragrancea. They smell really good and have great lasting power. This one is a sexy fragrance more suitable for a night out. It is sweet but it isn't anywhere near as sweet as 1 Million. It reminds me of a more "fresh" 212 VIP. The scent is like a sweet, clean vanilla with a masculine undertone. Lasts about 6-8 hours and it is noticable. I really hope Paris Hilton keeps up the good work on her fragrances and that she makes a spinoff of this amazing, rich, and sexy fragrance. Thumbs up!

No lie I actually had to stop wearing this for a while due to being bombarded with people asking me"what perfume is that". Once I went to pick up my food order and I could tell something was up with the cashiers assisting me but I paid no attention only having to go back due to me forgetting to grab drinks, the one cashier mustered the courage and asked me "we really want to know what cologne you using".the lady behind me concurred and started googling the fragrance .... I could go on and on and on. Listen..... For the price the quality is superb. I will most surely buy this till they stop making this. Occasions are office, date night, evening, or any occasion which calls for something subtle. Get this.
