It starts with a punch-in-your-face oud and it reminds me of Aoud line by the same company.
After a while I can smell the rose, a bit of jasmine, some vanilla.
The drydown is quite flowery, but not unpleasant.
To me it is like playing the same old song over and over: the Montale/Mancera synthetic melody is not so fascinating anymore.

Could have been called Mandarin Aoud. Pleasant for the spring.

I kind of get why they called this Gold Aoud.
The opening hits you with this sparkling citrus and saffron.
I was surprised by this one. As it develops the rose and oud come through but Gold Aoud feels very balanced and elegant.
If you compare this to some of the Montale aouds then you would know what I’m talking about. This almost feels like a ”pretty aoud” if that makes sense. The amber gives off this nice sweetness as well.
Performance is good and the scent sticks nicely onto the skin. Could be year round just I wouldn’t wear this in the high heat. Definitely unisex.
8/10

I don’t like how it opens because it is like other Montales and Manceras of this kind which are inundated with saffron. Saffron doesn’t let me appreciate other notes and obscure the oud and leather notes. But once the saffron subsides, about 30-45 minutes after the opening, this perfume becomes so adorable and beautiful. It is so elegant, inviting, and glorious. The dry down is simply awesome.
