Pure Gold by Montale, created in 2009 by Pierre Montale, is a rich, sweet white floral. Everyone describes it as floral, most also as sweet, and a minority as woody, musky and citrusy.

It opens with apricot, which gives a soft, velvety fruitiness, and mandarin orange, which adds a juicy citrus brightness. The heart is a sunny white-floral trio: orange blossom brings a honeyed sweetness, jasmine a rich, creamy depth and neroli a fresh, airy glow. The base is warm and lasting, as vanilla adds a smooth sweetness, musk a soft, skin-like warmth and patchouli an earthy touch that grounds it.

This is powerful: people report long-lasting to near-endless wear and a strong trail, so a light hand is wise. Votes favour spring, then autumn, and lean towards daytime, so it suits celebrations, daytime events and outings where a radiant scent fits. It is a good match for someone who loves golden, honeyed orange blossom with a vanilla base.
