Valentino Gold

Valentino Gold is a lovely perfume and expensive smelling! It doesn't smell like every other perfume out there and is elegant and classy. It's feminine without being too flowery and sweet, and is also quite fresh smelling, probably because of the lime note in it. It's a perfume which can be worn anytime, for daytime or evening wear and by any age group. I can highly recommend this perfume - it's so nice!

Beautiful very 00's scent with a great combination of notes. Lime juice and cranberry like a cosmo soon blends into spicy cinnamon and cardamom and soft florals. Very soft yet elegant and present but never overwhelming. I smell a resemblance at times to Versace Crystal Noir with the smooth almost gingery cardamom spice and am interested to learn that that is also from the same nose as this one.

My first and last blind purchase - Bingo! I still keep it and wear only on big occasions, like to the opera or a refined restaurant. The secret is to spray the clothes massively the previous evening, add a small spritz on leaving the house the next day and forget the bottle at home. As a result I get a very rich aristocratic lasting scent, a little bitter, with a very deep sensual feeling.

This is one of the best perfumed I ever smell. Bought it on impuls, and don't regret it. Pity I can't find such beautiful combination of citruses, spices and woods with little flowery scent more often. Someone should make such perfume a constant item in their range of fragrances. I would buy them out!!!

I agree with sassy1--don't smell it as soon as you spray or else you'll get blasted by alcohol. Once it has settled on your skin it smells slightly spicy, but not heavy like a lot of orientals. The name is apt--it makes me feel like I have a light dusting of gold glitter on my skin.
