Gold and platinum: Day and night. Male ego, feminine essence. The obvious and the secret. Brilliant gold of noble purity. Archaic platinum, mysterious alchemy. Precious metals to describe the fragrances of Versilia and the never – ending magic of a multifaceted place. Treasures that become fragrances, intangible scents to decline new virtues of an extraordinary land, to add new details to the emotions of a holiday, to give colour and shape to memories of sea, pinewoods, summer. Aurum and Platinum are olfactory joys, brilliant perfumes, fragrant bullions of the elegance of Versilia, in a limited edition.
AURUM - Floral, Chipré, Vanilla, Oriental
The first impression is that of a colorful basket of fruit: a joyful spray of orange, strawberry, plum. But the heart is an infusion of flowers, with the warm notes of heliotrope, the sweetness of jasmine and the emotions of rose that lead to a light vanilla base, touched by the balsamic reflex of tolù balsam and the precious sensuality of grey amber. From the diary of Maitre Parfumeur “ I practiced for a long time: I explored, smelt, created and discarded dozens of blends in my quest for a perfume that could evoke the spirit of that most noble of metals, gold. A fragrance that is necessarily rich and precious, but not insolent or over the top , not just for the lucky ones. In the end, I believe I found the true path with this mix of sweet and warm, a delicate balance of fruits and flowers, woods, resins, marine breezes and aphrodisiac memories. My Aurum is a jewel for the olfact, to be worn with style on summer’s sweetest evenings.”

I like following my instincts and my instincts a while back told me to try and sample Versilia Aurum whatever the cost. I think it was the world's way of saying to me that a sweet, strawberry based fragrance could be successful if blended with the right, quality ingredients.
The more times I wear Versilia Aurum, the more enchanted with it I become. It smells like strawberries, but instead of being candied or synthetically sharp, it is presented as a delicious bowl of strawberries and cream flavoured icecream. Creamy, smooth, sugary and enticing.
With that being said, Versilia Aurum does tend to have a gourmand feel throughout, however it's more complex than just strawberry icecream. The heart is a beautiful, feminine blend of powdery florals. When the powder blends with the sugary fruits, the result is quite dusty, soft and pleasing. I can detect a certain accord that resembles the scent of vintage cosmetics, like the scent of face powder and lipsticks. There's a quaintness to it that I really like.
It was at this point I stopped and realised that Versilia Aurum was designed with the specific point in mind that it was to resemble or pay homage to a precious metal; gold. Rose gold perhaps, but not gold itself. I find gold much bolder and spicier than this. This fragrance makes me think of all things pink. I'm surprised to see this listed as unisex to be honest, however I could be biased because this fragrance does settle on my skin in a very feminine and pretty way.
Unfortunately the longevity is not fabulous. I spritzed it on around midday, and found it had disappeared by late afternoon. The sillage is also surprisingly intimate and soft. I like it this way, however I didn't expect it to be so wispy.
This fragrance has proven that sugary strawberry scents, when done well can be absolutely delicious on the skin. A full bottle may cost a small fortune, but for those that love strawberries and want a step up from those nauseatingly candied, berry scents, Versilia Aurum is the way to go.
