Ilove this fragrance.I first smelled it on my aunt.It reminds me of her.witty,beautiful,pure,kind and an all round sexy confident woman.I have a lot of scents and sometimes i forget it but,when i pull it out of my perfume safe,I smile.Its a joy to ear.lasts forever,doesnt take much and dozens of compliments.If it cost more or came from an elite perfumery everyone would love it.take a chance if you like florals.

I would describe the smell as hot flowers with incense burning in the background.

My mum does avon and i found some perfume, i looked at the box and it said 'Rare Gold', i didnt recognise this perfume so i decided to smell it, i was really shocked when i smelt it, it was the most beautiful perfume i have actually smelt! I wear it everyday.xx Avon is Amazing!!!!

I read the reviews here and thought this must be a really good perfume. I sprayed it on my arm and was shocked --- I find it is very VERY strong, you would have to endure the journey from the beginning, even just sniffing it from the bottle gives me a headache, it is unbelievably intense to me, the base of my skull tightens and my temples pound. I really dont know how others find it pleasant I must be sensitive to something in it.

I used to be soooo obsessed with it! haven't seen it around for years though..

Honeysuckle, honeysuckle, and more honeysuckle! Too overpowering with honeysuckle for me although it smells great on anyone else but me! Lasts a long time too.

Avon's answer to Estee Lauder's Beautiful at a mere fraction of the cost.

it's a luxuriant scent and it goes on for hours and hours... I love it...

Avon doesn't always get it right. And truly, which perfume house does? All of them have some good scents and some bad. But when Avon gets it right, they REALLY get it right. The best scents from Avon are beautiful, long-lasting, and smell very expensive in spite of their affordable price. Rare Gold is one of these scents.
Any fan of florals will want to try this one, but Oriental fans might find something to love here, too. Rare Gold starts out with lush tropical white flowers and sweet nectar. It stays fresh and true all day long (I've been wearing my sample for almost 12 hours now and I can still smell it), and gradually fades to a beautiful vanilla-amber-musk base. I'm smitten!

I'm so glad I bought this! I bought it unsniffed, but it was only about ten bucks. What a deal! When I sprayed it on, my initial reaction was WOW gardenia! Luckily I like gardenia. The drydown reins some of in to a vanilla-ish, soft floral. Very elegant and uplifting. This would be a great winter time fragrance...and it lasts quite a while. Rare Gold smells A LOT like Faith Hill's premiere perfume that just came out. If you like it, save yourself a few bucks and get the Rare Gold instead. Definitely one of Avon's best, possibly THE best. Love it!

I wish the perfumiers currently inflicting all those dull, mediocre fruity-florals on us would take a good whiff of this gorgeous concoction - THIS is a stunning fruity-floral, rich, elegant, luxurious, wonderfully feminine and incredibly long-lasting. The entire 'Rare' range by Avon is fantastic, and this is no exception. Amazing scent and amazing value for money.

I normaly hate florals but this one is different.It smells rich and feminine.A very pretty girl scent as i call it.It reminds me a bit of chloe narcisse but i find chloe a bit cloying and kinda oldfashion.But this is softer and and slightly sweeter.Pure luxury,i think i wanna buy it sometime..

I like this one, I always seem to go back to it. I have also got Rare Sapphires (blue top) - does anyone else have this? I really like it, it's very unusual.

Rare Gold is quite a fresh floral fragrance which has warm sweet undertones. The fragrance has great staying power considering it is relatively cheap to buy, most of the time Avon fragrances don't have particularly good staying power, but this one has a staying power of approximately 12 ours or so before needing reapplied. The fragrance is quite strong and sweet when first applied but it soon dies down into a warm and seductive fragrance.

i love this perfume it is long lasting it's smell is very rich.By wearing this perfume i feel good.

I first smelled Rare Gold as a teenager and I won't lie, I didn't like it. I thought it was too strong and it gave me a headache. Well, I'm an adult now and I just recently tried it again, and I've definitely changed my mind about it's smell now. When it opens up it's still very strong. You get a combination of the floral fruity together, which is richly pungent. The dry down is similar, but the smell isn't overpowering. I detect a beautifully warm mix of fruity-floral-sweetness. Altogether it's a very lovely fragrance and has very good staying power. Rare Gold is classic and modern and definitely for mature women. Ideal for the fall.

Initially I purchased this in the 99 cent shimmering body powder to get a feel for it. I am impressed by it's warm, glowing, sweet oppulence. My 5 yr. old at the time also fell in love with it, and begged with excited giggles to use it after her bath. It's regal, wear it with confidence.

I think it's one of the best by Avon. It makes people ask you what you wear.
I think Rare Pearls are not nearly as good as Rare Gold.

I found this by chance a few years back - after a long hunt I found a second bottle. Now I've found it on this site :o) So I'm very happy! The is my favourite all time perfume! If you haven't tried it - I heartily recommend that you do!

One of the greatest perfumes for women Avon ever launched. A perfume for a true LADY.
10/15/08 12:50:54
last year it was my favorite and i bought many bottles then i've changed it but i think that i miss it now but the only problem is that it smells a lil bit old as in 80's

I totally agree with MondeoGirl, This fragrance is one of the most unforgottable Avon fragrances.
It's spicy strong & confident. The gold color of the juice suits the perfume personality very well.

This frangrance is very rich, it smells very fancy and feminine. Not too strong, but lasts very well.

Rich, opulent and luxurious. You will believe you're wearing a much more expensive scent.

it was my first 'real' perfume and i adore it.i hope when i buy it next it won't be changed as they say. very classic and elegant.
02/27/08 02:52:35
I love this perfume, i bought it several times... i'm looking for perfumes similar to this...does anyone know???
01/20/08 08:55:25
I wore the original Rare Gold when I first met my DH & he still loves it. When Avon changed the bottle style, I think they changed something in this, because it now smells different (not near as good). The original (the one with the fan shaped top) was very nice. The honey notes really came out on my skin as in the summer honey bees would buzz around my head LOL (not joking)they love this stuff!.
