White Soul Gold & Diamonds

Tried this without checking it's notes and I was surprised in a good way.I didn't expect this 37$ perfume to develop such nicely on my skin and go through several stages,smell expensive and have such a great Longevity and sillage I was also surprised by original white soul and this one,while being totally different,is as good When first sprayed I could smell something like a dominant benzoin note blended with orange but after couple of minutes jasmine becomes queen of this fragrance I'm not a hardcore jasmine fan but I enjoy it when it's done beautifully and it shines here.I agree that it's ambery jasmine reminds alien but it's more like a love child of alien essence absolue and alien edt.I dislike alien edp because I find it dirty,linear and overwhelming but I love white soul gold & diamonds so they can't be that much similar I can also detect a noticeable dose of heliotrope and orchid and I'm glad about it since I Love these flowers and their velvety powdery quality Drydown appears to be very delicious on my skin.a mixture of super pretty jasmine and orange flower ,so creamy that it resembles white whipped cream with a floral gene,sweet and a tad spicy amber,my beloved heliotrope and lots of creamy vanilla,I know there's no vanilla here but I can smell lots of it in drydown.this combination of notes,produces a very soft and creamy but still potent,warm and delicious,sensual scent that I find very pleasant,high quality,soothing and rich.great job of kurkdjian I only sprayed it once on back of my hand and it stayed there for more than 10 hours I believe it's not appropriate for hot days but it's good in mild to cool temp Gonna buy this beauty ASAP

I added this one to my wishlist almost a month ago and since I couldn't stop dreaming about it and it's not available in most perfume shops,I went back and bought it About bottle and packaging,I like this golden metal box which reminds me Jean Paul gaultier's perfumes,it's bottle is simple also unique but can't say I like it very much.I prefer being able to see how much is left in my bottle and I find simple glass bottles more elegant but all in all I believe it can make a good gift This time I was able to detect jasmine from the first second,not as dominant as in alien but still it's pretty well-pronaunced.it's jasmine is grounded by sweet and creamy notes,amber,orchid-vanilla and heliotrope.it feels like a modern,almost delicious jasmine,feels like a jasmine flavored whipped cream with a dash of soft almondy powder.jasmine isn't hot or dirty here unlike alien and it lacks sharp,green,animalic or classic-floral feeling that jasmine usually has and I believe this is the reason I like this fragrance a lot as a none jasmine lover.I also like alien essence absolue but unfortunately I rarely crave it maybe because it feels a lot drier thanks to woody notes or too heavy for usual wearing but this one,I adore it's soft creamyness and can use it alot more and not only in winters.when I smell deeply I can detect orange flower too.all in all it's very pleasant and it can be pretty versatile I was very satisfied with Longevity and sillage in first test.now that I was able to fullwear it I'm even more pleased with it's strength.it's lovely to find perfumes which stay soft while being potent Highly recommended ❤❤❤❤❤

I've had my eye on this for a while. Today I gave in and bought it. If you enjoy Alien EDT and Alien essence absolue you may find, like me, that this is a glorious mix of the 2. The drydown is a heavenly powdery affair just like Absolue's but the difference is the Heliotrope that peeks through ever so slightly. Longevity on me is insane at over 10 hours! Even though I have a few Aliens, this is just different enough to justify owning it and besides I think I might get more wear out of this stunner. If you are an alien lover, Do yourself a favour and grab it. You won't be sorry I promise. Besides at the low price you would be silly not to ;o)

Pure quality. Everything about this perfume, including the packaging- which admittedly looks a little questionable until it's in your hands- the scent experience from start to finish is one of quality. The bottle is heavy, brushed-gold metal, housed in a matching canister. Removing the white cap for that first spray reveals a thick, creamy ambery-jasmine quite reminiscent of Alien, merging facets of JPG Classique Essence/Intense style orange blossom, heliotrope and vanilla. Finally settling somewhere between Classique Essence, Alien and Le Parfum Elie Saab, it is rich and womanly in expression.

Another blind buy 🙈 😊😊😊 I just received the order and guess what? As soon as I took the lid off I was in 😍 I even like the bottle, the name though 😏 The sprayer is so good. I can't believe I'm only finding this scent now...😭 So creamy, sweet, sexy my gawd every woman needs this one, there's nothing to hate if you like the notes you won't be disappointed, this is amazing ❤️ all ages for sure - one requirement - Confidence! If you use the phone flashlight to see through the bottle you can definitely track the juice Damn I need a back-up bottle

I had this years ago. I tired of it and gave it away. How stupid of me because now i want it back so badly. The opening of orange and jasmine is intoxicating. Its definitely a powerhouse scent. Very polarizing. Just 2 sprays are enough to take down an army from 10 feet away. It stays a good few hours before drying down to a fluffy vanilla orange creamsicle vibe. I got stuck on skin scents for a while. But now that i want to go back to longer and stronger scents...i think i have to revisit this one.

This to me smells feel like a mix between Alien by Thierry Muglier and Lady Million by Paco Rabanne as it is creamy yet sparking and long lasting...the sillage can be knockout thus it may be best suited for cooler months and still in smaller doses...I am so pleased with this hidden gem that I almost miss out on. My new heady fragrance, every women should have 1 for days you want to draw all eyes on you with your scent, in a good way I mean.

Update: Watch your batch codes. I don't think anything has been produced past the original rollout. My bottles I got a few months ago were from 2012 and 2013. They smelled fabulous, just as I remembered! Unfortunately, they've both turned. Sprayed today, and a nasty dark orange colored liquid came out. Suffocating scent, that was gone in 30 minutes, no lasting power at all. I tried again later in the day, same thing, gross.

This is a beautiful fragrance. It is similar to Elie Saab Le Parfum, but has a strong jasmine scent that is reminiscent of Alien. The sillage and longevity on this are fantastic, particularly given the price. I'm not thrilled about the bottle, I find it to be a little cheap and dated looking, like something from Avon in the 90s - but the scent is stunning.

In my opinion, it has more in common with Alien Essence Absolue. White flowers with lots of amber, heliotrope and some vainilla. It's a great fragrance, in the same style of Alien Essence Absolue but a little lighter. It has good sillage and great longevity. A winner for Ted Lapidus from the great nose of Francis Kurkdjian.

If you’re feeling adventurous I highly suggest Ted Lapidus White Soul Gold & Diamonds. Very similar opening to the over the top honey of Shock-In-Scent, then a realistic caramel, drying down to an Alien jasmine/amber combo. Not as bombastic as Police Shock-In-Scent, but a Francis Kurkdjian creation and quite a ride.

It is Alien's better twin. Smells exactly like Alien, lasting power is more than 10 hours and sillage is enormous. I find Alien too synthetic sometimes. In this frag all I can smell is creamy woody jasmine. Also, the price is twice cheaper. Definitely a keeper. Great job Lapidus.

Alien's ethereal, equally pretty sister. Neroli on the first spray, quickly fizzes out to beautiful jasmine, orange flower, balanced with heliotrope and amber. Long-lasting (7+ hours) with great sillage. The bottle is quite gorgeous, looks very pretty on the dresser.

I don't get jasmine and orchid or amber. This is a big white floral that is neroli and orange blossom but it is so sweet that it registers less honeyed and more like tiare or frangipani then the heliotrope and orchid present. Very pretty. Very vintage. Very Lapidus.

This is so good. Amazing. Quite a sweet floral blending Neroli and jasmine. To my nose it reminds me of YSL Libre intense and Elie Saab le Parfum in white.

I'm surprised nobody has mentioned how much this smells like Elie Saab le parfum

This is good stuff. It definitely did remind me of Alien, but I can't stand Alien (at all!) and I am enjoying this. The best way I can describe it is: imagine Alien's heady jasmine, but without the bugspray/moth-ball/aspartame/minty vibe, warm it up with amber, squeeze in some sweet mandarin orange, then add a few drops of La Vie Est Belle or Flowerbomb into it for added body, and finally, mix in the 'opulent', golden vibe of Dior's J'adore. It also reminds me Roberto Cavalli EDP, but feels more sophisticated. Something about this scent definitely makes me think of gold jewelry, I thought of this even before I knew the name of this perfume, the SA just came over to spray it on my arm, and I walked away, but only to come back an hour later to inquire about the perfume he had spritzed on me. Very sensuous, very 'casual glamour', diva-esque sort of fragrance that is rich enough for special occasions or formal events..it makes me think of stylish women in designer bodycon dresses and gold jewelry, stomping around the city in stilettos. I think this is a very good scent that is reminiscent of other perfumes, not original or unique at all, but great in quality and a beautiful head-turner...I'm sure it would be very popular and well-received if only it were marketed better. It would be a safe choice to gift to people who love strong fragrances and any of the modern, mainstream florientals. Not for those who desire more unique or distinctive fragrances. Sillage is fantastic, bigger than Dior Addict (which I have on my other arm), beating it to a pulp even....and longevity is very good, 10 hours on me and it's still there, faint but detectable, I imagine it would be a monster on clothing.

Many compared this to Mugler's Alien and Alien Essence Absolue. I have not tried Essence Absolue but know I cannot wear ANGEL, which smells of bug spray on me. I'm low on Thierry Mugler Alien and thought I'd try White Soul Gold & Diamonds EDO based on the reviews here. I'm well pleased with this blind-buy. My untrained nose finds it to be at least 15% sweeter than Alien and maybe not as complex in its layers. Alien however has GREAT days on my skin and then just so-so days on my skin. I will have to see how G&D peforms from day to day. For now I will say that it is truly lovely fragrance for colder days and I would happily recommend it to anyone who enjoys wearing Alien or a fragrance with similar notes. The sillage is WOW! EDIT: The sweetness subsides within about 20-30 min. Allround I would choose this over Alien any day. My 10 year old is in awe. She way prefers it to Mugler's Alien too. I tested both on her skin (not nearly as dry and fleeting as mine when it comes to fragrances.) SECOND EDIT: I wore this two days in a row this past week. The first day it was Alien. The 2nd day it was annoying me. I've decided it is not as complex or expensive smelling as Alien. It's not as warm. The patchouli becomes a bit cloying. Staying power varies but is extended if also applied to clothing. I suspect the juice is light pink in colour so be cautious with clothing. I think I'll keep this for autumn and Alien for winter.

This one is somewhere inbetween Alien Essence Absolue and regular Alien (much closer to Essence Absolue imo)...but replace the characteristic 'minty' vibe of the Aliens with juicy, sweet orange! It's more 'user-friendly', more sparkling and easier to wear, but the sillage/longevity department is just as impressive as the Aliens, perfect for perfume-eating skin-types. I actually prefer White Soul Gold Diamonds to Alien Essence Absolue. But I wouldn't replace purple Alien with it, the jasmine in Alien is more concentrated, complex and layered, that's what die-hard jasmine fans prefer...this one does have slightly more jasmine than Essence Absolu though. It's just as sophisticated, and smells pricier than it is. The way this scent opens though, you'd never guess that it would evolve to Alien's younger sister cousin. It opens thick, sweet, sparkling and juicy like many modern designer gourmands. It takes 15 minutes for the 'Alien' to start coming through. If you find that toothpaste-minty vibe in the Aliens offputting, but want something very similar otherwise, go for this baby. If you want a budget friendly version of Alien Essence Absolue , this is fantastic. But if you want a thick, heady jasmine upfront and center, stick to purple Alien!

This is basically a Jasmine Amber scent on me. I would have liked to have gotten a bit more of the orange out of this, instead, I get an almost woodsy scent. Overall though, it is gorgeous. It is heavy, yet powdery. I certainly do not think this should have been released as a flanker to the White Soul. It is an entirely different scent, bearing no resemblance to the first. I am very surprised with how well this blind buy worked out. Thank goodness, because I purchased four bottles of the stuff, only because I had searched for over a year to find it. Edit 8/2/16........ when this dries down, I get an intense creamy vanilla scent. Not sure if it is from the heliotrope or orchid, but all I get is vanilla. No amber, no floral.
