Apparently with Gold/Silver the purpose was to take exactly the same notes & manipulate them differently to construct 2 different fragrances. As you mentioned they’re both made up of Juniper, Coriander, vanilla, nutmeg, musks & ambery wood molecules.

I have both and prefer the gold. On me it has great longevity. Not as radiant as the silver but lasts long and is deliciously sweet

❤ I love GFG. I was even thinking of graduating from the 2.4 oz to the 6.8. It’s a lovely vanilla with some interest at the top, but yes, it does not radiate much off of me. However, I don’t think all of his fragrances need to rampage like Baccarat.

I had an all day meeting, and chose to wear GF Gold bc it seemed crowd pleasing. I definitely noticed people moving in closer to me. I love Violet as a note so make sense that I like this. It lasted all day, and the silage was about two feet to start, then about 1 foot after about 4hrs. Palmer Violets! 😂 Happy Holidays Aaron!

I have this and wear it during the warm/hot summer months. My husband really likes it on me and noticed this, even though he rarely notices my perfume even though I have dozens of fabulous niche fragrances. The first time I wore it, he hugged me and said, “oooh, you smell like Harrod’s!” And we’re ‘Mercians in the U.S., so the Harrod’s comparison means it’s pretty special smelling

I love this! I spray a lot of it though because it is light. I don’t get the parmaviolets smell at all thankfully. It does last quite a while on me but I am in the Middle East where it’s hot. If I had a signature fragrance this would be it.

@ttnajjar1 Жыл бұрын

I own both, the gold and the silver. The gold is sweeter, and heavier than the silver. On my skin, GFG is elegant and warm. I like it a lot. It does project, but it is not overwhelming. My husband wears the silver one. I feel that it is a cold fragrance. It is very clean and more masculine than the gold one. I should try to layer them both.

I agree with this being heavy. It’s 100% a personal scent, projection doesn’t exist with this. Hoping to try it in the warmer months to see if my thoughts change because I do like the scent.

OK Mr Hughes. You've sold me. Been watching these video for weeks now, nonstop. Just made an order for these from Maxaroma: Tabac, Oud, Hard Candy, Haze Black and Blue, Daddy, and Boss Bastard. If these are good then next round is some combo of Guapo, Patchouli Noir, Blood Orange, Legend, and Maverick. Never buy fragrances drunk people! Don't be like me...Fingers crossed.

From the MFKs I own/ and have samples, this is somehow in my case the most in sillage; prefer this over silver, might become signature.

I had a tiny sample of this and I felt the performance was lacking as well. Like you, I tried it on a cold day, but it became a skin scent soon after applying

@karlbadde7435 Жыл бұрын

I remember testing silver and gold straight away when they came out with samples one could easily buy when MFK was cool and meant to be accessible to the people. And my experience was entirely different than yours in the video. Gold smelt warm, vanillin kinda opulent and very resent where silver smelled tamed, extremely clean. Concept wise Gold reminded me of grand soir vs petit matin. Cause gold seemed so all out vs the silver. Maybe they changed stuff up when MFK got bought. My wife was in Paris in one of their stores last year. It’s an obnoxious luxury brand like any other where staff treats you like worthyless

@MsChelseaHarris Жыл бұрын

I’m so glad you found this flat as well…I purchased GFG after smelling it on someone who owned an earlier batch. Her GFG was radiant. However my batch was is so flat it doesn’t radiate off my skin at all. Have tried it on numerous other people and each has resulted in the same wear.

While I don't dislike the smell (neither do I love it) I also find it to be very flat and 'sticky' in a way, I remember spraying it on at a department store and thinking it feels like a fragrance oil, more like a film of vaseline almost on my skin, super intense when sniffing up close though.

I really love it as a cozy scent. It’s linear and comforting to me, but also feels clean. I use it a lot, but is a great layering scent. I see what you mean by flat, but I enjoy that in a way, it doesn’t shout that it’s there, but if someone hugged me it’s there.

Man listen to me. I wore this one time to an event and the compliments were non stop on me. It smells amazing and blended perfect to me. The longevity is amazing. Now I don’t do feminine leaning fragrances but this is as far as I’ll go. Great Fragrance and i like it better than the Silver.

I actually really like Gold Fluidity. On me it smells very vanilla boozy and last on me a long time and I get tons of compliments so projection is good on me. On me it’s not musky at all. I had a sample and bought a full size bottle. It has the same notes as the Silver but it’s configured in a different order making it smell different from the Silver.

I am more of a Dominic Rapion and Jacques Guerlain kind of girl but I wanted at least one mfk in my collection after hearing of the longevity and performance lol. I went for the gentle fluidity gold because it’s the only one I liked. Oud satin mood is also nice but I am not a huge fan of synthetic oud, especially for those price points. I have enough sources to get the real thing lol. The best way I can describe Francis Kurkdjian is he is a clever perfumer. He knows what the masses like and how to deliver it to them. Many of his scents are not as sophisticated or elegant as I like. I am sure he has the talent to create niche olfactory art pieces but he definitely knows how to cater to the larger crowd and in a way that still makes him a genius without having to prefer his work myself lol.
