Gold Fair In Mayfair

Very interesting scent for me. What I smell in the first place is the Absinthe with some nutmeg creating a mild spiciness without being warm. Along with the Absinthe and Nutmeg, I personally get something that smells a bit like Sprite to me, but not in a bad way. The first time I sprayed this fragrance I felt it is leaning way more masculine and I still get some qualities in the first half hour of wearing that resembles a fragrance I`d connect with masculine scents. For me the Cacao is not detectable at all. However once it`s dried down it has the same powdery and addicting DNA like Pirate`s Grand Reserve. It`s fresh and uplifting, perfect for warm weather. It reminds me of a way better and less masculine Version of "Raffaello" from "Pantheon Roma". I am a not sure if I`d enjoy it the same way as Pirate`s Grand Reserve. It is addicting, it is beautifully crafted, the dry down is amazing. Do I desperately need it like Pirate`s Grand Reserve? No. But do I consider getting this one day though as it makes me sniff my wrist over and over? Very likely.

I can't believe I haven't reviewed this divine fragrance, yet! A lovely SA introduced me to this brand and told the story of how the perfumes were exclusively made for the British Royal family until the owner passed away. An Italian company then bought it and kept the most of the original formulas! (Don't know how true this is, but it was still a nice story!) Gold Fair is a unique combination of powdery chocolate topped with spicy absinthe. It's smells so rich and classy! It's distinctive and longlasting, yet soft and smooth. While it's unisex, it leans more masculine to my nose as the absinthe and nutmeg reminds me of an upscale barbershop (herbal spice with a slightly antiseptic nuance). I thought it would fit a man better so I gave my bottle to my brother. Ironically, he said his wife and daughter fight over it! Nonetheless, Gold Fair is definitely exquisite and is fit for a king - or queen!

The listed notes play off one another in harmonious agreement. I love how absinthe is used as a contrast to the soft, creamier notes, giving Gold Fair a unique take on the cocoa/iris trope. The composition is delicate rather than bold, so I understand the remarks about it not being loud. Accordingly, is not for attention-seekers or those who want to have their fragrance do their socializing for them. This is the kind of scent that is meant to compliment-or rather complete-one’s tasteful ensemble of good manners, fine clothing and thoughtful grooming. It DOES last longer than some claim in reviews, but it will not fill a room. Set expectations accordingly!

I've seen this brand i a shop with 20% off and scrolled around the pyramids of it's creations. This one stood out+ it was discontinued(limited edition), but still available in my country, luckily. SO, i blind bought it and do not regret. It is so comforting, warm, a bit gourmand. The feeling when i wear it reminds me of the one i wear Angels share or Vanille havane (both masterpieces ). I'm not good yet at describing and distinguishing all notes, but i do love this fragrance a lot .

My dad got this when he came from a trip and I must say its my favourite cologne he has ever got he had Tom ford black orchid which i never really minded in fact i liked but when he switched to Atkinsons I was definitely like yeah thats a better fragrance in my opinion than the black orchid maybe coz i found black orchid slightly on the feminine side
