Onyx Gold

“I have this and Zara spell caramel. The dried fruit in Onyx Gold smells divine where the Zara has a sweeter caramel opening. Drydown is similar with the Zara being sweeter and more powdery. I don't see any reason to pay more for another dupe if you can find Onyx Gold for a good price.”

“I really like this scent, lightly powdery, with just the right balance of vanilla and woodiness, not too strong. I'd rate this as unisex, I think it will still smell great on a female. Can spray on clothes, well balanced scent, no prominent nauseating base note to get stuck in the drydown even with patchouli listed in its base as it's hardly noticeable.I really like this layered over a DIY Molecule 02 (5% ambroxan) for even more performance and sillage, and a nice whiff of ambroxan. I'll be using a DIY Molecule 01 later also for performance and a velvety scent, amplify the woods a bit.”

“I have onyx gold and french avenue amber empire. I prefer onyx more than the amber empire. This has better longevity and to my nose this smells better than amber empire. I never smelt the blonde amber. Looking forward to wear this during the winter.I also have onyx silver that also great and very close the pdm castley and great longevity.”
