Aqua Gold is very citrus heavy aquatic ozonic scent to my nose. Reminds me of CK eternity summer which i have (i can’t remember the year of the CK release) which is also very citrusy aquatic in fact very similar to Aqua Gold. Very fresh frag suitable for hot weather/climate. However the other notes especially the leather, lavender & musk which are stated is almost non existent to my nose. Longevity is good up to 8+ hours on me but projection is weak closer to your body and sillage is also soft. Quite generic to me. I am not saying this is bad but just ok.

Montale Aqua Gold is a citrus woods. Upon first spray, the fragrance has an incredibly strong resemblance to Acqua di Parma’s Cedro di Taormina. It has the exact same aquatic woodsy cedar, splashed with stingy citruses and subtle grainy aspects. Montale’s formula however also has this distinctly feminine glaze on top of it. I could best describe this glaze as a subtle, powdery essence, with a distinctly feminine sweetness and tang to it.
Despite this quality, the oversoul from Cedro di Taormina is still very dominant, and distinctly masculine. By these qualities, I would guess the reference here is that Aqua Gold is supposed to be the embodiment of one of those really butch female bodybuilders. The ones that are really big and almost overly muscular, with distinctive masculine aspects to their body.
On the otherside, I guess the reference could cascade into some kind of, “Real Housewives of Italians”; the concept of a woman who’s very feminine, yet distinctly strong and bossy. Yeah‒one for her.
As for the fragrance, Aqua Gold is a neat twist on Cedro di Taormina’s formula, but I still find it so similar that it’s totally redundant to the original fragrance. I also think the bend from masculine to feminine here is so incredibly strong‒that it’s uncomfortable. It just has one foot in each door so strongly, that the identity is constantly taking you in two different directions.
Not something I can get down with unfortunately, and I would be surprised to find a woman that doesn’t feel the same as well.

This smells like a generic designer freshie along the lines of Aqua Amara or Vince Camuto Solare. Hard pass for me.

Smelled familiar. Couldn’t place my nose on it. Well, after several days I realize this has a similar scent profile as Creed Viking. If the price of Viking gets you down. This would be a great alternative.

A Nice Refreshing Blend of Musks and citruses with a hint of Ginger to my nose, would make a nice summer scent
fairly light though not a typical Montale power house!
