Gold Rose Oudh Extrait De Parfum TIZIANA TERENZI

Gold Rose Oudh shares the Rose Patchouli and Oudh DNA of Montales' Black Aoud. Where it differs and kind of goes to the next level is with the addition of the Honey, sandalwood and pepper notes. Makes it a much richer composition, more well rounded and balanced as well. Paolo Terenzi has done a fabulous job. I had Black aoud and when I sniffed this, I sold My Montale and picked up a full bottle of this little gem.

Projection is good but not the nuclear fallout of Black Aoud. Longevity likewise is about 8-10 hours instead of the 24 hours of the Vintage Montale. Cost wise, atleast here in India, they are similar. Black Aoud retails for about 7000 rupees/110$ but you get testers for as low as 3000/45$. TT Gold rose oudh likewise retails about 9000/140$ but official Testers are available for about 4500/70$. So if you are going purely by most bang for your buck, take the Black Aoud but if you want the overall better frag, Gold Rose Oudh is it. Its like the difference between Coach and First Class. They both get you to your destination but the experience is very different.

This was an instant electric shock in my entire body when I first smelled it. I couldn’t get it out of my head like when you first fall in love. I had to keep going to try it again and again until I had to buy it and I can’t stop wearing it. Even if I try and wear other things in my collection, I can’t help it and this is what I always end up deciding to wear, day after day. Everyone around me loves it even people who don’t typically like rose or oud.

It has an incredible balance between the depth of the rose and the oud, with all the other notes that makes it less heavy than the other rose/oud combos, very unique, completely versatile: perfect for wearing in the summer as well as the winter. It might be a little bit of a night scent more than a day scent because of its elegance and darkness, but I still wear it during the day cuz it’s just too good not to

It’s complex: very deep, but also fresh, mysterious and a little sexual, but very elegant and refined. Seduction in a bottle. It’s a masterpiece.

Masterpiece for night time wear, especially clubs and bars. However you will mostly get male attention. Thick dark tarry oud, honey, jammy rose and patchouli. I wore 7 sprays of this from a decant, which is a tiny amount cause decants don't spray much and apparently people could smell me from 30 feet away in an outdoor bar seating area. Got 3 compliments in that night for it, one was from a pakistani guy.

You must love roses to like this scent. Overwhelming roses! Thick and strong deep red roses with some other notes just to support the beautiful rose note. It screams quality IMO. Totally unisex but on a female it can be quite seductive IMO.

Dominant notes are Rose, a little oud, patchouli, mild honey, spices.

It leaves an oily layer on the skin and smells better from a distance. The longevity is very very good and the projection is good moderate. Suitable for cold weather only.

I get the similarity with Black Aoud by Montale but.. let's be honest.. there's only 20%-25% similarity. This is pure quality without the nasty Montale medicinal oud and the cheap rose essence.

For the dark goth rose lovers.. If you care about oud, stay away from it.

If Lyric is the fresh, green rose, this is the opposite. The dark, goth rose.. lol! Mr. Dracula's scent or if you prefer the perfect dark rose fragrance for a dangerous lady..

"Grazie Paolo Terenzi!!"

As a lover of rose, I currently own over ten niche rose fragrances in my collection. Gold Rose Oudh has genuinely left a positive impression on me that I have to rank it up there with Sospiro Duetto and Christian Dior Oud Ispahan, but for different reasons.

Rose Oudh Gold may come off as a typical rose oud combo, but offers a lot more than the likes of Montale Starry Nights, Portrait of Lady of FM, Montale Black Aoud, By Kilian Rose Oud, etc.

It has the same DNA as Montale Black Aoud, but I had to get rid of the Black Aoud as soon as I purchased the Gold Rose Oudh.

The opening is somewhat similar, but they depart shortly after they are applied. Rose Gold Oudh is less airy, more authentic, and more refined.

The best way to compare the two is like comparing an S-Class Benz with Hyundai Genesis. Genesis is a great car by itself.

An inexperienced car enthusiast may put them in the same category, but the flaws of the Genesis are easily exposed in front of an experienced car enthusiast.

Rose and oud are always in the background, but in a sensual and attractive manner. Woods, spices, amber, musk, and honey dance in different layers to add charisma and personality.

This fragrance has such a large personality that never ceases to bore or disappoint from start to finish.

Gold Rose Oudh is extremely crisp, fresh, and high contrast. Perhaps it explains the word "Gold" in the name of the fragrance.

The longevity and silage are monster. I can smell it in my car for a few days after I wear it. It stays on my jacket for so long that I don't even remember when it was applied.

I don't wear fragrances to receive compliments, but I appreciate compliments nonetheless.

I have been harassed by colleagues and total strangers with compliments. It is to the point that I am sometimes asked to wear Gold Rose Oudh when I have meetings with certain colleagues.

Money for money, Gold Rose Oudh is a better choice than Sospiro Duetto. There is no question there, but Duetto is more romantic, less rugged, and more mysterious.

I would still rank Christian Dior Oud Ispahan as the king of the rose oud fragrances because it is such a departure from any rose oud combo.

Paolo Terenzi never disappoints, and Gold Rose Oud isn't an exception either. If you are a rose fragrance lover, you MUST get your nose on it.

Top notch fragrance by the awesome Paolo Terenzi.
