Description
Last year, Korloff launched a very successful edition for women Korloff Lady and masculine companions Korloff In White and Korloff Noir (2010), while this year will be dedicated to a new fragrance for women with beautiful composition.
For all fans of exotic notes, the new Korloff Gold should be on your list of fragrances selected for testing! The new fragrance is inspired by precious metal – gold, to which this fragrance is dedicated and reminds of a luxurious jewelry collection.
After several matte, non-seethrough bottles, Korloff Gold shines again in new glow in a transparent flacon with Stylized K letter (logo of the brand), reminding of cheerful butterflies. They are colored in gold and decorate perfectly body of the bottle, leaving an impression of luxury and wealth of the composition. Top notes open with creamy gardenia combined with coconut and strawberry. The heart provides a union of frangipani, tiare and jasmine, while the base intertwines accords of vanilla, musk and cedar.
Korloff Gold has been on the market since 2012, as 88ml EDP (as all other editions).

Korloff Gold is a gentle perfume, delicious in a non-gourmand way, elegant and sophisticated, BUT (there is a but) it’s just too light, even for Summer. I don’t care about sillage or projection, but I’d love to get at least the pleasure to feel it on my skin. It just lasts for twenty minutes, then nothing, at all. Maybe it’s just my chemestry. Such a shame.

It’s been years that I see this pretty,eye catching bottle on korloff stand each time I go to hiland mall but I never tested it!
Once I sampled a feminine korloff perfume (I can’t remember which one was it)and hated it so much that I wasn’t attracted to this brand anymore (exept Korloff black which I love a will buy it someday for my man)
a good friend of mine has a bottle of Korllof gold and when she saw that I’m curious about it,offered me a sniff.though I didn’t know any of it’s notes,I didn’t expect much and it was a huge,pleasant surprise
These days I’m really craving sunny,beachy scents and I could tell since first sniff that Korloff Gold belongs to that category.it was my first and only test so I can’t describe it in a detailed and accurate way just that the first thing that came to my mind was Guerlain Terracotta.I LOVE Terracotta but I felt that I love KG even more!it was like a softer,more creamy sister of Terracotta
I could definitely detect tiare and coconut,I could guess gardrnia and frangipani,I could feel a hint of a sparkly fruity note cutting through it’s lush creamyness and I could smell a hint of soft,clean powder as it was settling down.when I checked it here,I was surprised to see my right guesses and it must be because of it’s natural,pure,true to life ingredients
I didn’t expect such a quality and such a balance from a reasonably priced fume.
It’s yummy without being cloyingly sweet or totally gourmand.it’s elegant while being sunny and comforting.
It lasted on back of my hand for 4 hours but I had a tiny spritz and I had washed my hands after applying plenty of times so I think it’s real longevity is way better
I wanted to save for Tom Ford Soleil Blanche,Annick Goutal Songes,Chanel Beige or D&G Dolce Garden(which is as expensive as the niche ones in my country) but now I feel that before thinking of any other beachy fragrance,I need to have Korloff Gold
Thank you my lovely Fateme for introducing me such a lovely perfume

Almost a dupe for Victoria’s Secret Very Sexy Now 2016!
Save for the beautiful and realistic strawberry fruit and leaves opening, melding in harmony with gardenia… Gorgeous.
Dry down is almost identical to Very Sexy Now: gentle coconut and clean quality.
Just check my laudatory review on VS Very Sexy Now 2016, since I don’t have much more to say about Gold ; )))
Korloff Gold is quieter and understated though, it becomes a skin scent very quickly.
Soft frangipani delicately replacing warm sand.
Same as some other users, I have to douse myself because sillage is faint and longevity is weak.
It’s ok to reapply, the scent is far from overwhelming and it’s better value than VS’s.
Still, I prefer it over the bazillions loud summer frags conveying tropical atmosphere, because it’s so elegant and refined.
I haven’t tried layering both but that could be an idea, if I want to combine Very Sexy Now longevity with a blast of strawberry and frangipani from Gold for good measure.

As soon as I saw tiare and frangipani I thought, I must have it.
This is indeed a lovely perfume. The bottle is gorgeous and luxury-like. But … I have to literally douse myself if I want to get a whiff of it. And then, it goes away in minutes. I envy those who say this is long-lasting, because it is a lovely scent. I wonder if I got a bad bottle, or something. I have to reapply constantly.
What a shame. Fortunately, I paid a low price for it.

It is all true!
Coconut and tiare in the most sophisticated form. Somewhere between suntan oil type of scent and creamy, inobtrusive vanilla (with strawberry). Among my beachy scents, which I love, this one is the most elegant. Exotic, yet glamorous. Not wild, not careless. Comparing to Terracotta, this one is more creamy, soft; comparing to Bronze Goddess, this one is more mature, more urban. I bought it blind and was quite surprised that tiare and coconut can be used that way. Gold is the perfect name for it. It is a Bronze Goddess in the city.
The longevity is excellent, coconut does the job here.
Must-have for beach scents lovers.

A very successful blind buy!
I am a fan of beachy scents. I have Bobbi Brown Beach, Coccobello, Bronze Goddess, I love tropical, white florals like Lys Mediterranee, Matin d’Orage, Songes and Gardenia is my favourite flower, even though I have never lived in a tropical climate.
However, there is always a risk that something advertised as ‘tropical’ and ‘exotic/beachy’ can smell sickly sweet, cheap and candy-like. There is a fine line and it took me a long time to search left and right for my favourite selection. Encouraged by the reviews – I bought Korloff. And to my relief – it’s not that sweet!
Strawberry is noticable. I really don’t mind that hint of fruit – it’s delicious. All of the lush, white florals are there – tiare, gardenia, frangipani, melted and carefully blended into one, buttery, creamy goodness, but without any of that ‘solar sharpness’ that can cause headaches and penetrate skulls. They rest on a delicate coconut/vanilla blanket base. It is a skin scent.
I cannot wait for it to blossom in the heat. It’s a fruity, distant relative of Songes and Crystal Noir and will make a delicious skin-scent for spring/summer.

Oh, I like this! I completely agree with SillySue below.
This is a sophisticated gardenia/frangipani/coconut/vanilla scent. I don’t get the strawberry though, but that doesn’t mean it’s not there. Projection seems to be decent, but it is still cold where I am and I imagine the heat will ramp up the projection even more. The feeling it gives off is also light and airy as opposed to thick and heavy, but it is a little oily. Korloff Gold is not a tropical cocktail type, it’s very much on the elegant side of tropical.
Something you’d wear to an expensive restaurant that overlooks the beach at sunset, champagne glass in hand.
This reminds me of a more coconutty, more vanilla, softer gardenia version of Yves Rocher Monoi eau de Vahines, and I like it a thousand times better. I actually think lovers of Versace Crystal Noir would enjoy this when in need of something less potent and peppery, and a little sweeter. It’s not sugary or sickeningly sweet, and let me clarify, I think the vanilla is soft enough that even vanilla haters could handle it.
Longevity is about 8 hours. And that bottle…gorgeous! The picture doesn’t do it justice.

This not match Korloff quality. Longevity is poor, 0.5-1.0 hour. Coconut and vanilla from start to end. The bottle is quite nice, deserving much better liquid in it.

Korloff Gold is a sophisticated vanilla coconut with a tiny bit of underlying white florals and a dash of strawberry. The key word here IMO being ‘sophisticated’. It is easy for coconut vanillas to turn cloyingly sweet and simple/linear, but this I feel does not belong to that particular group of fragrances. I’ve currently have CS Vanille Coco and in the past had FCUK Friction, both of which a coconut vanillas, but in a totally different category than Korloff Gold. Friction I really enjoyed for what it is, which is a carefree, summery sweet coconut vanilla, fruity type of scent, very laid back and beachy. I have not made up my mind yet about CS Vanille Coco, I’ve just got that one but first impressions fail to impress really. Korloff Gold however I adore. The addition of sweet Frangipani and Tiara flower probably makes the biggest difference.
It is long lasting and has the most sublime coconut note that manages to hang around without ever becoming overbearing. It has a certain amount of sweetness but is not cloying or candy sweet at all. The most versatile and grown up coconut vanilla I have tried thus far.

Such I surprise! I don’t find the rest of Korloff fragrances interesting, but this is unique. It’s long lasting, very feminine and the bottle is gorgeous.
