Pure Gold Montale for women

Montale PURE GOLD starts out as a fruity-floral blend with a lot of clean resinous musk. I find it somewhat nondescript, especially initially, when I have trouble discerning individual notes... except for the musk which is quite big.

Later this perfume starts to seem more like a nice floral with a slight soapiness. The floral component seems to me to be mainly jasmine. I was thinking that PURE GOLD was similar in some ways to Jennifer Aniston and DKNY Pure, but in side-by-side comparisons I changed my mind. PURE GOLD is much better than those. Perhaps the idea is similar, but in this case we have much better ingredients and execution. JENNIFER ANISTON veers too far in the industrial direction in an attempt to be clean. DKNY PURE has a touch too much woodish aromachemical stuff for my tastes. PURE GOLD is perhaps how those perfumes should smell, but they don't, which is probably why they are on their way out of the stores already...

PURE GOLD is another example of Montale going beyond their area of expertise (middle eastern-inspired oud creations), to produce a decent, if not extraordinary, perfume.

well smells quite good for me, sweet enough, i get a lot of compliments. But my husband says that it smells like ald ladys perfume.. yahhh

This is, in my honest, humble opinion, better suited for men. For some odd reason, this is unexpectedly wonderful on my skin. More casual than other fragrances with similar notes, this is very easy to wear. I turn heads when I wear go out wearing this and I seem to get bombarded with compliments when I wear this with white shirts. The sillage is moderately noticeable; more so in heat. The longevity is typical Montale on my skin - 10 hours of solid olfactory alchemy. I can't lose with Montale.

This scent is a simple, common and cheap floral fruity fragrance.nothing special and very girlish.the open notes are juicy. then white flowers appear not in an harmonious dance that evoches my senses but just simply in one blast. so i cannot perceive them one by one but i just perceive a mass of indistincted flowers.not surprising just for young girls

I received this as a sample from Lucky Scents. It goes on Very Medicinal and lasts for about 30 minutes this way. Then it finally mellows out to something sort of pleasant, and then it fades away. No WOW factor here and medicinal smell is so not worth it.
