Amouage Gold Man

[daverasi]

Has anyone tried this? It seems to get mostly positive reviewed online but I can't say that I am much of a fan. I applied just a bit to my wrists and was confronted with an in your face floral scent. It is slightly dirty with the civet and is also a little spicy.

I like some Rose based frags, DC 1913, Creed Windsor and Le Labo Rose 31 come to mind but this one won't be joining that list.

I believe I tried it briefly and it reminded me of Clive Christian No. 1 but with a kind of dirty element. Scents like this and No. 1 just seem too over the top for me. I wouldn't knock anybody who wants to rock them, but they always make me feel like I need to be a lot richer and more powerful to wear them.

I disliked it....a lot.

I quite like strong, powdery scents, but it was too strong and far too powdery for me.
It would really take a bold man to wear this comfortably. I'm not that man.

Yeah not for me either. Amouage makes some top quality juice, but I find this one to be my least favorite of their offerings. Powder bomb for sure.

I guess this has turned into a Gold Man bashing thread. A lot of hype but I didn't get it. I didn't even get the skank that was supposed to be there. Just a slightly spicy powdered floral on me and not worth a penny of its overpriced cost.

Apply too much and then go into a confined space .... ie church or office. You'll never be forgotten in a grotesque way. That is some seriously powerful juice. Ka-Pow. It's interesting for sure, and a sample is worth exploring because I find it so interesting. But, that doesn't mean I would wear it.

Dia on the other hand ... or silver ... favorites.

Dia on the other hand ... or silver ... favorites.

Yes, I remember liking Silver a lot.

I had tried it the past week during my trip to the middle east. Not for me! But I loved the Ciel Man and bought a bottle for myself! Ciel is my current favorite!!

I suppose there is more love for Gold Man on other forums...on B&B we seem to agree that this is over priced and over hyped juice.

I can say that I am a fan of other Amouage scents particularly Dia Man, XXV, and Epic Man.
