What do reviewers say about Gold and Karleidoscope?
Gold is unapologetically bold and animalic. The Civet and Ambergris in the base will polarize, and the Jasmine-Myrrh heart commands attention. It truly fills a room.Gold
Powdery florals have a reputation for being polite. Karleidoscope plays it straight, but the tonka-benzoin base gives it a warmth that pulls you back in.Karleidoscope
