Magnificent Gold

YSL Magnificent Gold is so beautiful. It is creamy, warm, soft, elegant, oriental, complement getter. excellent choice for people who dont like loud oud in the fragrance. White oud is light, and vanilla is well blended with other ingredients. longevity on the skin is good 6 - 8 hours. The projection is soft but detectable from 1 - 2 feets in the first 1.5 hour before it become skin fragrance. It could be notified better while moving as the silage (trail of smell behind one's who wear fragrance) of the fragrance could be detected 1 - 1.5 meters away.Some people couldn't smell it and the reason could be the nature of the ingredients as white oud and musk are not detectable to all people. For me i have 75 ml bottle and i can still smell it on my hand after 10 hours. Don't judge it quickly, just be patient and ask people around you and you will be happy when they say they can smell you. My evaluation for this masterpiece: Smell: 10/10 Projection: 7 / 10 silage: 7.5 / 10 Complement: 9/10 Uniqueness:9/10 package: 9/10 quality: 9/10 price: 8/10 versatility: 8/10. Could be blind purchase: yes, but better to test it before. Overall: 9/10

The name really suits this perfume, especially the bottle. This is a beautiful vanilla oud scent, perfect for a cold winter day. It smells like a delicious vanilla ice cream but not overly sweet. The saffron and the pink pepper makes it slightly spicy. This is a very soft scent which I normally don't associate with oud. I wish more oud perfumes contained white oud, thus making them more wearable. This is also the most wearable and safe to blind buy from the Le Vestiaire des Parfums Oriental Collection. Personally I do not consider this a night time or date night type of fragrance. It feels very warm and cozy but a little airy at the same time. Unfortunately it sits very close to the skin, so if you are looking for a beast mode fragrance this is not the right choice. Longevity on skin is not too good, so I usually spray it on clothes and it lasts about 3 to 4 hrs which is not good at this price point. Overall, I love this fragrance so much that I am willing to overlook the sillage and logevity issue 🥰😘.

This was love at first “sniff”🥰 I absolutely love the way how Magnificent Gold is well blended and it’s not like the other typical vanilla perfumes which are over sweet or headachy, it’s sweet but not too much and creamy thanks to sandalwood and has very nice touch of the white oud (safe for people who don’t like oud)😉 and works perfectly with my skin. I’m vanilla perfume lover but this one is for me the top because it’s just different than the other vanillas, simply gentle way ❤️ Long lasting on skin and stay on my clothes for few days, in my opinion it worth the money but I can’t say it’s safe blind buy unless your skin works perfectly with sandalwood and you love vanilla with little touch of spiciness. Even though people say it’s not overpowering, when I did try it first time, went shopping, lady who was showing me handbags couldn’t stop sniffing around me untill she said: I smell soo beautiful vanilla from you, what is it ?😊😊😇 Definitely go and try it on ❤️

This fragrance is a love for me. Quite simple but still quite complex. It is my favourite in this YSL's recent premium line. This is not oriental, arabic or too oud-ish. It is rightfully quite modern and western iteration of arabic perfumery. The top is kinda effervescent and playful to me, might be because of spices and pepper. I would say it is bright in the top but not in fresh aquatic way. It gradually becomes more woodiee and smoother as it dries down. I can smell creamy sandalwood and vanilla. From mod onwards it starts getting into woody creamy powdeey zone. This part is absolutely sexy, posh and exquisite. Very subtle but extremely enjoyable. This scent could be really versatile. For its top it can be used in formal scenarios and for its mid and base this can be perfect for dates and intimate moments. I can't comment on performance at the moment I have to give it few more wearings but excellent first impression. 9 out of 10 easily...

Magnificent Gold opens with a bright sweetness coming from the saffron and vanilla, with pink pepper giving it a sharp kick. It quickly develops a heart of creamy sandalwood and a deliciously thick, gourmand vanilla note. In the dry down you’re gently greeted with an overload of sweet vanilla and sandalwood, with a musky undertone of white oud giving the fragrance this overall bitterness and maturity. As others have said it has a very ‘fluffy’ scent profile which is very soft around the edges, and in terms of performance this projects massively and lasts all day with ease. Magnificent Gold is massively underrated - a must have for any vanilla fanatic. I can imagine it can come off as too sickly sweet to some, and yet weirdly it’s one of my most complimented fragrances. It’s a shame to see it being discontinued as it truly is a hidden gem, perfect for a warm and cosy winters day.
