Baby Phat Golden Goddess Kimora Lee Simmons for women

These are the right notes:

Top: Bubbling champagne
Middle: Blue lilies and night orchid
Base notes: Caramel, vanilla flower, patchouli and vetiver.

I really like this perfume. It's soft enough for work and least for a good while. The smell reminds me of the talc powder my mothers used to use after a shower.

Hmmmmm....this is one bizarre perfume. In the very beginning I get a warm, spicy caramel vetiver.....and if it stopped there I'd love it! But what is this? This weird abrasive unmatched note that invades my nostrils like a stinky pirate? LILAC?! Oh dear, why would anyone put lilac in a fragrance with caramel and chocolate and patchouli and musk and (drool) all kinds of wonderful goodies such as those? Don't get me wrong, lilac is fine on its own, I don't dislike it, but it does not blend at all with any sort of foody sweet smell. I looked around forever for a bottle of this, as I had a knock off that smelled pretty good. When I found a real one for $10 I thought, "Score!", but its just so.......odd. The lilac and caramel/vetiver combo comes off to my nose as a popsicle stick type scent. I'm still trying to like this one as I've got a full bottle and it sounds so great other than that one pesky note.......sigh......we will see if time changes my opinion.

It was a blind purchase back in 2008 .... awful awful strong over powering smell. All I could smell was caramel. It has been three years since I purchased it and this horrible perfume sits there on my dresser more than 75% full. Never this brand again in my life . Baby Phat all goddess perfume are cheap work of art : Baby phat original goddess pink one, baby phat golden goddess and baby phat seductive goddess.... all of em are the ugliest and the most horrible products that one can ever come up with.

[Nov 13/2011]

Couldn't smell anything good in this. Strong and old lady-ish.. I wish I liked it though, the bottle is a must-have but no thanks.

I purchased it on a website. There was a discount, and I thought the perfume notes could have been pleasant for me.
When I received it, at the 1st pschitt, it makes me think about London - Paul Smith (it's weird, perhaps because of lilac and vanilla ?). It's nice, elegant, pretty yummy and I think it's created for self-confident working women. It's good to wear it during fall or winter days : caramel and chocolate will warm you up.
I like it but it's not one of my favorite : not enough modern to me, it doesn't last so long and I don't like the bottle (but I like the label logo).

To me this is a positive surprise. It's a nice, warm, elegant and also individual scent. Somehow it's yummy but not sweet or kitschy. On me it stays on all day. I could imagine to buy this scent again but since Kimora is not working with Babyphat anymore, I guess it's been discontinued ?

PS: Unfortunately this scent gave me major migraine attacks, so I had to give it away.

I personally liked this perfume on myself. It is strong though, and I had to be careful not to put too much because it is very overpowering for people who have perfume allergies (I found this out by accidentally wearing too much to work, and my manager was majorly allergic and had to go take an allergy pill). Nonetheless, I would describe it as very sophisticated and alluring.

I'll second that aristouka with embellishments: Golden Goddess is awful, bloody awful in fact.

The "exotic spices" smell like rancid cinnamon floating on top of an insipid broth-like soup of watery half-notes.

An unfortunate invention IMHO.

awful!!!!

On my skin it smelled "old lady" so I gave it to my favorite old lady, my grandmother... she loves it!

Easy to boring me! I dont know why! I fell in love with this perfume from my firsttime, but then I realized this scent makes me headache and discomfort. I brought this bottle to my cousin, & she felt like me, early she loves the smell, but then she also feels like me. Anyway, this smell easily bored, i think so! I hope everyone will be no one like me!

every time i wear this perfume it gives me a migrane

I can surely smell the caramel in this perfume and not so much vanilla as I was hoping to but all in all it's a lovely scent. Hopefully very soon, it will have a place on my vanity

I really don't know anything about Kimora,but I did see a photo of her once. She is quite lovely,and I like the name Kimora. Very exotic and pretty.

But anyway......her looks have nothing to do with the perfume.:0) I have a scent replica of this. It is GORGEOUS! I love it so much. It smells like some type of ripe fruit,very juicy fresh smelling. It smells to me like a sweet and softly spicy pear,mixed with a creamy smell. I smell very soft patchouli now and then,and I really love getting a whiff of that soft earth. The vetiver is sultry here and I find it to blend so deliciously with the creamy caramel pear,vanilla,earth,and even some orchids I can feel are here in this precious scent.

This is a very unique and exotic smell.I cannot get bored with it! Kimora,did you choose all the scent mixtures here? You have a great nose then! These days,I am reading that most of the modern perfumers are not using animal musk and I really hope the original Golden Goddess uses synthetic musk. That picture above with the animal hurts my heart (the musk photo)

My scent replica which I bought contains only vegan non-animal musk.

This is indeed a very Golden Goddess of a scent. I love that name!

Didn't like this at first. Thought it was heavy and had an old lady musk quality about it. It grew on me, nice caramel champagne scent :)

I recieved a sample of this perfume, and at first, I honestly didn't like it. I grew to like it though. The caramel, champagne, and floral notes work together, and creates magic. The dark chocolate and caramel gives the perfume it's sweet smell, but the champagne and floral notes edge it out. When I first smelled this perfume, I swore that it had rose in it, but then I read the description, and there was no rose. It's really a unique fragrance.

I can definitely smell the gourmand aspects of this scent the most, but something keeps it from being entirely foodie. I can not smell it directly, but I catch a whiff of the lilac every once in a while, and I'm thinking that's what keeps it from overt gourmand for me.

I love the bottle, and the scent is likeable enough, but I wear this once in a great while, and always regret spraying it for the first hour or so. Then it mellows out into something much more snuggly and wearable. However, an hour or so later, the patchouli is pretty much all that remains, and that always gives me a bit of a headache. Which is probably why I do not spray it for another year.

This perfume is really different....it smells super warm creamy carmely delicious. I do not get alot of the floral notes on my skin but I do get the champagne & caramel big time. I just love this..it is so yummy.

I bought Golden Goddess in a mixed lot off Ebay .
On me it smelled like my 8yr-old self's Rose Petal Place dolly along with hints of fruit and a well watered down patchouli.The bottle is pretty IMO,but it felt like the scent was rather juvenile(toy dolls)and generic(Very similar to United Colors of Benetton Essence of Woman-which I got in a set with shower gel)
A co-worker's daughter was getting interested in fragrances and had her 5 yr B-day comming up so little one got this -and loves it from what my coworker tells me.

I've never heard of KLS, so perfume snobbery didn't stop me buying this. I really, really like it...while it's there. Very short lived. I get a drift of warm, over-ripe pineapple, plus caramel. For the price I can forgive that it doesn't hang around long.

24 hrs later: I was wrong about the longevity, I can still smell this even after a sleep and a shower. I'm really surprised that it is such a nice perfume, for a blind buy. Don't usually enjoy fruity fragrances but this is very simplistic. I will not wear it every day, but I will wear it when the mood strikes.

Very classy bottle too. You could really do a lot worse than this.

I so wanted to love this but on me it smelt like a vanilla-ish melted plastic, it is simply gross, eeeeekk sorry! BUT YUCK!

I can't stand the celebrity whose name is on this fragrance, but perfume snobbery is pointless. It's all about the juice for me. Golden Goddess is a pretty scent for cooler weather and I'm happy to have a decant in my collection, courtesy of Clairdelune. (Thanks!)

Golden Goddess is mostly vanilla and patchouli on me. I don't detect any chocolate, but I get subtle nuances of champagne and lilac as it dries down. I do agree that it smells a bit like Avon Extraordinary, though I think Golden Goddess is actually a better fragrance. GG actually smells best about an hour or two into the journey, and it lasts 6+ hours, so you'll get a decent amount of time to enjoy it.

I first tried it in hot weather, but I think it's best appreciated in cooler weather, which allows the more delicate notes to blossom.

Suitable for work if applied sparingly, but spritz to your heart's content for evenings. It's subtle but sexy.

I like this way better than godess it sme;ls fruity and spicy to me but my nose is stuffed up so my sesne of smell is rather dulll other than that i'd say this is my fave of all!

I bought this blind from an online vendor, based on reviews here on Fragrantica, and have zero regrets. I really like this scent and think it's a good one to have on hand if you like somewhat linear, straight-forward, slightly dessert-y scents. And besides the price is right--at least in the U.S.
I can't really pick out distinct notes in this scent. I mostly get sort of a non-descript, boozy-peachy impression, which isn't at all bad. Ironically, peach is not one of the notes.
On me the lasting power is very good and it has garnered me a compliment or two, which is nice.

Very artificial.Similar hair spray's fragrance.I don't like it.

This is one of my favorite scents! I love it because it smells very warm and sexy on me, and my boyfriend likes it (that's a plus!). It's also long lasting. I can mainly smell the caramel and chocolate notes, and champagne I think. It is more a night scent because it is so sexy smelling. There is something too in it that smells almost spicy, but good.. but I think this is one scent that woman of all ages can wear. I'm 20 but I can see women in their 30s and 40s wearing this perfume as well. Good job Kimora!

I smelled this before and it's the best smelling one of them all to me. It smelled like pineapples

Got a this from another Fragrantican and am a little put off by the size and awkward shape of the bottle, which is short and fat, a real space hog, and difficult to spray because it's hard to get my small hand around it. I did manage to apply a moderate spritz, which started out as strong alcohol fumes plus a sharp synthetic note. It gradually softened down into a fairly generic scent that I think of as mostly "spoiled vanilla" - vanilla that's been sitting around so long that it's gone bad or vanilla that's been mixed with something it shouldn't have. It's most likely the combination of vanilla and carmel notes, and it's really not an unpleasant scent, but it's not one that I would go out of my way to experience. Once the caramel vanilla develops, it stays pretty much that way until it trails off into nothingness after a few hours. I really didn't pick up any of the floral, woody, or amber notes that are allegedly in it.

This is not something that I'd use enough to warrant having 100 ml lounging around, taking up more than its fair share of space, so it will soon be moving on to a new home.

Wonderful - I've been truly blessed with this blind purchase. A new 50ml edp costed me a song, and it is just the creamy-sweet scent that satiates my rare cravings for foody perfume. A luxuriously rich, caramel hued, calorie-free fix. Pretty, unique, and highly recommended!

Golden Goddess's opening has a fruity/tropical accord. It reminds me of red berries without being overly tart or sweet. Spices kick up the tanginess, while lilacs smooth out the edges. There's definitely a balance between sweet and sour, and a fizzy glamour throughout. The drydown is pure caramel, vallinaic and chocolatey. The longer Golden Goddess stays on skin, the sweeter it gets. By the end of the fragrance's life (4-5 hours) the sweetness is a little unbearable, but luckily it doesn't last much longer.

Overall, this is glam, sexy, diva, trendy, and a true golden smell. Bronze skin, beachy hair, designer jeans, hoop earrings, stunner shades. If Golden Goddess were a sound, it would be the effervescent camera shutter flashes of the paparazzi following at your heels.

Have it and i love it! On me champagne with caramel ,so delicious!so soft and velvety!one of the best so far and mwarvellous got the body soufflé too!love it!

a glamorous perfume,doesnt smell too sweet

tried this purfume at a store. I was quite sweet to me but it had a great lasting power and I kept smelling my hand. Too bad its not a 'me' scent. I think I might like it more on someone else.

To me, a 'golden goddess' would be something more like Estee Lauder's 'Azuree' or 'Knowing'. Still, KLS's version is a budding demi-goddess, or at the very least, homecoming queen at a modest metropolitan high school. I find this really pleasant -- a vanilla shimmering with lilac that lasts a long time on the skin, and even longer on the clothes. Despite the gourmandy caramel and chocolate in the basenotes, 'Golden Goddess' doesn't gag you with sweetness. No need to fear overdoing it, this oriental kitty is de-clawed, and properly socialized. I like it.

Smells horrible,i smell nothing but alcohol & something else(i dont even know what,but it stinks!) makes me think of musty grandmas! lol

Very sweet and cloying...too much vanilla or caramel or something...

I LOVE the GG shimmer body lotion and it is my boyfriend's favorite scent. The lotion is great for layering with other perfumes if you're going out at night... or just put a tiny bit on pressure points before bed or snuggling if you want your guy all over you :). Skip the perfume, and just go for the lotion.

i love it...can't put my finger on a single note but it's heavenly...i find myself smelling my wrist constantly!

Very nice golden scent! Not one of my top ten signature scents like Fabulosity is but it is a very beautiful scent!

Got this for a song today , did'nt know anything about it , but it looked fun.
I like Kimora's kitty cat design anyways.
Very diva-ish , sexy, glam scent. I love smelling this one on my skin - a real treat .
Creamy chocolates and bubbly champagne ,oh so good and indulgent together are recreated perfectly in this perfume.

The veviter keeps this from smelling too sweet or cheap - keeps it mellow and very pleasant . Orchid gives it freshness and sexiness , lilac even more softness.
Golden Goddess is a golden warm , sparkling , very, very divalicious scent.I love it.

Stayed on my skin for 6+ hours .


11/27/09 This is alot like Avon's Extraordinary , come to think about it , with the champagne and chocolates -but G. Goddess has alot more going for it, in my opinion , much better effect all around.

Ok, what am I missing here? On application, I get a noseful of strong alchohol reminding me of Aqua Net hairspray. Through the drydown, the alchohol remains in the background, barely concealed by a sweet nuance, possibly the vanilla.
Champagne? Lilac? Caramel?
I'm thinking scented fingernail polish remover is closer to the mark.
I will concede, was in a bargain bin so may be a bad bottle. Sure hope so...

Very sparkling and glamorous smell,i like it very much.The top smells clearly a lot of champagne and then comes the caramelized scent.But the base reminds me a lot of chloe edp,very strange..I like chloe so its ok,but i didnt expect that it will turn out like that.Nothing cheap or bad about this.Smells exclusive and a high dose of glamour..

While Goddess in my opinion was for the younger consumers, Golden Goddess is for women.

I am very impressed with this scent. The opening smells just like a glass of sparkling champagne mixed with caramel and rich, dark chocolate, which I can assure you, smells divine.

Golden Goddess smells classy and elegant, not at all cheap or plasticky. This fragrance is heavenly, sweet, rich and sexy, all rolled into one.

The drydown is also very beautiful which is great because most of the time the base notes usually let me down. It smells a little like coconut smothered in chocolate with a slight hint of vanilla, strange but delicious. Even smelling this fragrance right now is making me hungry.

This fragrance's only real let down was the lasting power, but for the inexpensive price it wouldn't hurt to reapply every now and then. I highly recommend.

***1/2

Here's a scenario... if I were a government agent, and you put this on... I'd probably tell you classified information.

(3.5 Stars)

BPGG is definitely one of the perfumes i always stay full on! the champagne notes are very apparent and beautiful. BPGG is SO seductive. but not in a dark way.. in more of a glamorous way. Everyone asks me what it is that im wearing when i wear it. men and women both! it has a moderate lasting quality. i wish it would last a bit longer.. but for the price, you can buy a lot!

I was disappointed by GOLDEN GODDESS; going of the fragrance notes I expected to love it. As it turned out I couldn’t pick out any of the fragrance notes, though overall the scent is sweet.

GOLDEN GODDESS seemed ‘sparkling’ on first application, with a nice & feminine floral heart. It was the base that put me off. It just seemed 'off' when it mixed with the heart notes.

However, this didn't give me a headache, so we are moving upwards from the original GODDESS.

Very sexy scent if you want attention from men then ladies this sexy seductive warm scent of champagne and caramel will do it! It has good lasting power and the lotion has a shimmer kind of like a tanning lotion. It is so sexy and so alluring and Kimora should have called it "get your man" because it will do just that!

Wow! This is amazing! The champagne note is amazing! But the notes on this site is wrong. The right notes are:
Top: Bubbling champagne
Middle: Blue lilies and night orchid
Base notes: Caramel, vanilla flower, patchouli and vetiver.

It's an unique rich expensive smell. This is a masterpiece!

To tell you the truth I couldn't really smell the vanilla as much as I was hoping too.
This smelled more floral to me then anything.It also had that childish note that smells similar to the one the strawberry shortcake doll & her friends had when I was younger.
It is very pretty & girly & it is stronger & less delicate then the original Goddess perfume but it is still very nice.
It is definitely a young, synthetic perfume thats a bit cheap smelling but still pretty.

I don't know whether I had a bad sample but all I could smell was alcohol and no ingredients. I have yet to test this and I was looking forward to it too :(

I like it. It's a lot more subtle than I thought but it matches baby phat. : There's definitely a "golden"-ness about this perfume that makes it lovely and sophisticated! It's a "Kimora" perfume for sure. Not sure that it's right for everyone though. Also, it lasts an okay amount of time, but you can feel it wear off. As it wears off I think it gets nicer because it's not as harsh.

Such a sharp, sweet, sexy opening!I love lilac and here it was played really well and original, moving around it`s sweet notes rather then fresh. It lingers for a while, but unfortunately quickly dries down to something soapy and common - you can barely feel all that chocolate-y goodness, and it`s already gone....

I don't really consider any of Kimora's fragrances to smell cheap! I do think that her pink and gold baby phat's smell really good.But Fabulosity and Seductive are not as good but wearable I guess.

I waver back and forth on this scent. One day I like it, and the next I don't. I guess it all depends on my mood. It's unique.

This is one of my faves! I love this scent. When I wear it I keep smelling myself (sounds funny I know but I do.) It's just goregous!

This perfume has a very unique scent. It's one those types you only want to wear on occasion, certainly not every day. I really have to be in a certain mood to wear it.
