Warm, sweet, golden, comfort!
I fell in looooove at first sniff with Golden Nectar! She's gorgeous and comforting, so warm and sweet! Signature worthy. This is a seductive amber/honey/vanilla gourmand. There's a little powder, but it shouldn't be the top accord. This is nostalgia in a beautiful bottle. It reminds me of the '80s, my childhood best friends, and my mom. Golden Nectar is more amber than vanilla. The vanilla is dripping with honey. The honey might not be listed, but it's there, and I'm picking up something fruity also. I don't get much of the suede note, just a tiny bit in the final drydown. It's true, this is like wearing the softest sweater, relaxed and confident. People say this is a "lipstick scent" but it's much more than that. I don't remember any of my lipsticks smelling this nice! This feels like being wrapped in a fluffy bedspread. Think of a cozy evening in a nice home, drinking your favorite hot beverage by candlelight with a vase of flowers on the table. I think it resembles Amber Romance some, but this is much prettier, more creamy. It really just made me happy, and put a genuine smile on my face. It's not basic, or too complex. It's noticeable, and has moderate staying power at the least. If you like sweet nuzzly amber fragrances with a powdery touch give this a try! Perfect for fall and winter, holiday parties, and cuddling up because of the warmth of the honeyed vanilla. I'll wear it all year though. I believe this scent could make every day feel like a special occasion. I can imagine Betty Draper from Mad Men wearing this, polished, pretty in pearls. Mid-century vibes.
