Nice white floral fragrance with a touch of rose from the opening. The dry down shows mostly SPICY jasmine/gardenia, unlike 24K Brilliant Gold with mainly plain jasmine/gardenia. They are both nice but 24K also tends to be more creamy. I think I prefer 24K a bit more than this Rose Radiant.
BTW, this one smells much nicer than Very Hollywood. Very Hollywood smells a little like wilted floral fragrance to my nose.

I saw Michael Kors’ Radiant Gold at Wal-Mart and gave it a smell and I loved it; it was so unusual, unique and overwhelming for a man’s cologne. They were asking 50 dollars for a one ounce bottle. I looked up Ebay and found a 3.4 oz. bottle for around $50 and- I don’t know how I could have missed this but – I then realized it was a ladies fragrance. But I liked it so much that I wasn’t about to let that deter me. Now I can get a whiff anytime I want and I’m gonna wear it out soon. Funny thing I just noticed, I’m wearing Rocawear X right now and as I’m composing this review I keep thinking I smell the Kors. Lovely.

The first spray punched me in the nose with rose. The dry down smells almost entirely of gardenia. It was a big no at first but I grew to like it over time because I love gardenias. Still not something I would wear.

However nice a fragrance like this may be, it annoys me that they think it’s sufficient to describe the notes this way.
Makes me think it’s just siphoned from a bucket of chemicals, with no natural oils in it, at all.

This is a “like”…it’s nice, but I am not excited about it, and I really want to be excited by my perfume! It’s something like BBW velvet Tuberose, just a little fresher at the beginning. I get a little bit of Jasmine, but on my skin I get mostly Tuberose. It lasts about half a day for me, and halfway through that it goes a little powdery. It’s not bad by any means, just a good safe barely-oriental floral.

Nice floral spicy scent, well blended, full of harmony. I can recommend it to all oriental scents’ fans.
Specialistikus – :
a very jasminy rose, not really rosey, but its there, floral, lasted on me from morning till softly in the evening.
it gave me a bit of a n=teeny headache in the middle notes but I still like it. I remember lovin git more in the winter months than summer.
funny – I notice the jasmine more now than before, see I tried the mk glam jasmine and it went bitter, so now it seems im a bit more attuned to jasmine and not liking it, maybe only in the winter.

I love it! I’ve found my perfect ‘going out’ perfume! This is the one I’ll put on when I’m all dressed up and ready to party!
It’s sexy, but grown-up sexy, and it seems to last quite well.
I’m happy with it!
skorpio – :
I’m surprised by all the negative reviews of this one! A little sharp on first spray, but it settles down into a lovely, sweet floral. I find it wearable day and night, definitely not a teen’s fragrance. To me, it smells classy and sophisticated without being heavy. It may not be very unique, but it smells nice!
odu899speagoessenda – :
I don’t like it, it’s a nasty floral scent! Brilliant Gold was much better. In my opinion Michael Kors doesn’t have many good scents, but this seems to be the worst.
It’s some floral mix of synthetic notes. Not impressive at all.
alenka75557 – :
A scent of the times, as rose gold is the luster of the age. Just your average vanilla rose with a lot of violet. I was a little annoyed at all the violet until it disappeared at the drydown. I’m left with standard vanilla musk; I quite like it for when I’m looking for a scent with which to blend in to background. I’ll have to wear it a few more times to determine if I’m willing to deal with the violet. Otherwise I find this a good scent, along the lines of LVEB but agreeing with my nose more.

While on a recent shopping trip at a trendy Market Street area, I popped into the ultra-posh Michael Kors boutique and found this gem. Browsing, shopping and sniffing I sprayed this MK Rose Gold, choosing it from a myriad of MK scents on display. Loved it immediately & purchased the bottle! I’m usually a tougher sell, but this rich, sexy fragrance smells lovely on my skin. It’s warm without being too “comfy” ha! MK Rose Gold definitely has drawing power as people want to be close to you while wearing. Truly I was surprised at the simplicity of the notes here–on me it smells much richer. It reminds me a little of Givenchy Amarige–but more modern and sexy. Great silage and long lasting just like we expect from MK scents. Love the tall gold bottle too! Great job folks at MK! This is another keeper for me.
psilon – :
The notes listed are incomplete IMO! I definitely smell Rose and Gardenia in this & there are zero spice notes to my nose, but it is absolutely beautiful on my skin. Good silage & longevity too. Going on my want list.

This is a pretty floral perfume dominated by jasmine. It’s not complex and there’s no real evolution to the scent but its still layered. At first spray, I get a heady sweet jasmine, followed by more white florals, rose and some light spicy green notes. The jasmine weaves in and out of the other florals and its not a sharp green jasmine but rather a soft, musky sweet one. Overall, its soft and pleasing-a great choice for first impressions!
CAN-UKRAINE – :
Spicy floral scent. Fragrantica is not listing the notes but it’s clearly roses jasmines gardenia and magnolia in a heavily floral bouquet. There is also a touch of citrus at the first spritz. The base is musk and amber. It smells very expensive and elegant. It has a very good long life and excellent sillage. The scent is perfect for romantic dinners, dates, formal events, the theater, a wedding, a fancy gala party or a wedding. This is really very nice and I prefer this to Michael Kors Very Hollywood which I felt had a cheap quality to it. This one is gorgeous.

I noticed this perfume today and decided to give it a try. Well, I am in heaven. I couldn’t dream of something sunnier in that gloomy day outside. When someone post a thread about creamy perfumes, this would be my number one suggestion. It’s like tamed version of Terracotta and for some reason reminds me of sand, suntan lotion and necklaces of exotic flowers. I am sure this is not the full list of notes, I can smell coconut in it. Perfect choice for a summer vacation.
sveta73 – :
This is my favorite of the Golds, and I think it’s gorgeous. It’s a retro spicy, champaca-rose. It has a narcotic warmth that makes this a very romantic fragrance. Something in this brings to mind vintage Ombre Rose, which is a great thing. This does not smell like laundry, or office air…it’s sexy.
pioner1 – :
Nearly bought it on the spot at first spray, but then something told me to wait a bit and let it settle and when it did… Bleh. This turned musty, stale, ‘old’ and completely unappealing in less than fifteen minutes. Disappointing to say the least. Now, MK Sexy Sunset on the other hand boggles my mind, but that’s another story, LOL!
KoTuK009 – :
first tip toe into Michael Kors. I sprayed in boots wandered around i would usually wait and buy another day but This just caught my interest.
Longevity for me is good. 7-8 hrs. Sillage others compliment so i guess its pretty good.
I am sure there are notes missing! I think tuberose? No its jasmine!x.
genz – :
This reminds me of both Amarige and Hot Couture by Givenchy. This is a romantic and feminine scent. On first application I smell vanilla, tuberose, and gardenia. As it warms to the skin, hints of musk and spice appear. It has a moderate sillage. Today a coworker passed me on the stairs and complimented me on my perfume. However, it isn’t a scent that will last a full work day, after 3-4 hours, most of what remains is a powdery, warm musk that lingers on the skin. It is a lovely one to wear for the evening, or if you are able to reapply midday.

@karlie…..agree with u. I love it!
fin5130 – :
I’ve tried all last 3 to 4 flankers of this and glam jasmine smells great on me and I then smelled this radiant gold….and its so sexy , spicy light warm floral on me. I got so many compliments on this and it does last on me. Great winter scent and men love it! It almost has a touch of a warm summer romantic night feel. Very much for the grown sexy woman . love!!

As I previously reviewed I generally distain Michael Kors scents as all previous experiences with them have been disasterous. This is the third in the gold series and since I was given free samples of all 3 I decided to write a review. In the past I have tended to avoided white florals, particularly gardenia since it gives me a terrible headache. In this case I can smell no spices of any kind, only pure, white gardenia tempered by clean white musk. Surprisingly no headache! It begins purely watery floral, progrsses to green, sweet gardenias. After an hour or so the clean musk appears slowly and intensifies ever so subtly as time progresses, resulting in a lighly floral skin scent. I do actually enjoy this for what it is but it’s hardly worth purchasing a bottle. And this is probably the last MK scent I’lll ever sample due to such harrowing past experiences with his poorly composed, over priced fragrances.
10007544 – :
It starts as a fresh and watery floral, quite pleasant but weak. As time passes the fresh part goes away and it turns into an utterly unremarkable but perfectly nice warm spicy floral with poor longevity. The bottle is pretty enough but if I wanted a cute bottle with a watered down pleasant smell I can spend a lot less money for it. Isn’t this meant to be limited release? If it isn’t meant to be it will be anyway, I imagine.
vitusethek – :
They really didn’t give a F when they made these new ‘Gold’ flankers, did they? I love Michael Kors but adding an adjective to your perfume name, darkening the bottle, and having the notes as “spice, floral, musk” is a missed opportunity to make a mark in the industry and create something special.
