I do not know why this one is marketed for women. IMHO it is unisex like Rose Gold and Black Gold. It is indeed one of the few “white flowers” fragrances suited to a male audience. It is rich and intense and long lasting. I believe chemical compounds like cashmeran boost the natural components. But in fact it smells very natural. SPLENDID! I can say it is worth its price… unfortunately the price is really really high.

I have two sample sets of OJ perfumes, and I’ve been making my way through them, sampling each one. I like this one the best so far. It seems to be a pleasant white floral with some green notes and woodsy elements. I don’t perceive the powder element that others have mentioned, and that powder element is usually a deal-breaker for me. For example, Aromatics in White Clinique For Women is so powdery to me that I just can’t stand it. I’m not sure that I sense all the notes in the pyramid; it’s pretty well-blended. I don’t think it is full bottle worthy, but it is interesting.

Warning: not your usual likable perfume.
The beginning is unfathomable. It’s a bitter-powdery medicine accord.
When I was a kid and got sick, I just wouldn’t swallow those little capsules, my mother would take out those medicinal powder, and mix it with cane sugar, then coax me into swallowing it. The beginning of this perfume brought me back to that unpleasant memory, rather vividly.
Luckily the dry-down get less vivid, therefore more acceptable.

White gold is absolutely stunning. I don’t think I could ever wear it myself because it’s very heady, so intoxicating and powdered, it’s like the texture of somebody poofing a talc bottle in your face, to the point you can taste it. The florals glide and soar on top of this powder which is narcotic in it’s addictiveness. The opening is very floral and full to the brim with jasmine and freesia settling to an exotic orchid which is delicate as the powdery orris root and cashmearan build. The balance between powder and florals is completely perfect and it dances between the two never settling to a linear smell. Despite this balance I’d say casherean is the main player in this scent because it assumes the role of warm, woody base giving it a cozy feel but also acts as a floral booster. It’s also very complementary with orris or iris and carnation which are all present in this fragrance. I love perfume and I always like to think I’m open minded and not opposed to wearing ANYTHING. However, some fragrances just scream femininity and I imagine what it would smell like on a woman because that’s where I believe it is more suited. This is one of those occasions. What I like about Ormonde Jayne is that they are not afraid to mix the synthetic molecules with the more natural or perceived as natural aromas. ISO E Super, Casherean, synth musks, Abroxan, when used correctly they can boost other notes and make an otherwise ordinary fragrance very special indeed. I think this stuff is a triumph, I sprayed the tiniest amount bearly even there and it was massive in projection and longevity. Please check this out, I thought it was amazing.
Update: just realised why OJ are so heavily into the man made molecules due to the fact that Geza Schoen seems to be the nose of choice and even though White Gold doesn’t have a perfumer listed, I’d bet my house this is his handiwork, they all have his style written all over them.
