Valentino Gold Valentino for women

I had high hopes for this one, so I ordered a sample off scented monkey. It smells NOTHING like I thought it would. I thought it was goin to smell alot more like the cranberry, bergamot notes & warm but it smells so weird, spicy, herbal & cold, (nothing like gold at all) but in a more masculine way to me. I think this should be considered a unisex frag. & definitely should cost less $.

This was limey dishwashing liquid on me quite a letdown as I love the original Valentino, Vendetta and Very Valentino whcih was also quite wearable.

My first and last blind purchase - Bingo!
I still keep it and wear only on big occasions, like to the opera or a refined restaurant.
The secret is to spray the clothes massively the previous evening, add a small spritz on leaving the house the next day and forget the bottle at home.
As a result I get a very rich aristocratic lasting scent, a little bitter, with a very deep sensual feeling.

5 words from me: No no no no and no.
Seems a bit rude but I will have a headache every time I smell it.

I really like this one, but its not longlasting on my skin. I have this beautiful scent around me for an hour - then its gone, sadly. If you come across it - try it - its a nice warm and sensual scent.

For me, is a nice perfume, and that´s it....I´m agree with NathalieZ that it evaporates in a flash....and it smells floral and sweet for my taste.....

I agree with sassy1--don't smell it as soon as you spray or else you'll get blasted by alcohol. Once it has settled on your skin it smells slightly spicy, but not heavy like a lot of orientals. The name is apt--it makes me feel like I have a light dusting of gold glitter on my skin.

VALENTINO GOLD opens auspiciously, along the lines of BULGARI POUR FEMME, with a waft of benzoin lusciosity. Unfortunately, however, rather than developing to a beautiful, lasting floral drydown, VALENTINO GOLD simply dwindles away. I reapplied the edp three times over the course of the day, with the same result. The notes after the opening are so faint as to defy detection after an hour or so.

The notes that emerge immediately after the opening are a light ginger and pepper, with hardly any floral at all. But the spices are really very light, leading me to think that they may have been aiming for some sort of skin scent. What I find, at the end, is no scent at all! Désolée.

I like this one very much, but I would suggest you wait 5 seconds after applying before you sniff or you may get a noseful of alchohol like I did.
I'm glad I didn't let it deter me, because this scent is lovely. Fresh and slightly peppery, just a touch of ginger and floral with a simply divine dry down. I don't get the cinammon, but the iris and musk are very pretty. I think it's more of a formal scent, meant for the evening but would be nice on a cold winter day as well.

Real classic. Bought 50ml in TKmaxx for £9.99 a couple of years ago....bargain. A very rich, elegant, distinctive and solid scent. Great lasting power. Not girly but very sophisticated. Unfortunately, I associate it with a bad experience so no longer wear it but would definately recommend. Beautiful.

Very classic warm smell, I love valentinos perfumes. His fragrances are so classy and elegant and most are so different from other perfumes out today. I recommend this to anyone that wants something unique, different and elegant.

This is one of the best perfumed I ever smell. Bought it on impuls, and don't regret it. Pity I can't find such beautiful combination of citruses, spices and woods with little flowery scent more often. Someone should make such perfume a constant item in their range of fragrances. I would buy them out!!!

I absolutely adore Valentino Gold. From what I remember it's light and fresh and the word crisp comes to mind. I'm noticing a lot of citrus in the description however it definitely does not smell like fruit. I love this perfume, been through 2 bottles already since in 04 and as soon as i find it I'll be on my 3rd. Not a lot of people or places seem to be familiar with this one. Definitely one of those scents you keep a secret.

Valentino Gold is a lovely perfume and expensive smelling! It doesn't smell like every other perfume out there and is elegant and classy. It's feminine without being too flowery and sweet, and is also quite fresh smelling, probably because of the lime note in it.

It's a perfume which can be worn anytime, for daytime or evening wear and by any age group. I can highly recommend this perfume - it's so nice!
