M by Mariah Carey Gold Deluxe Edition
by Mariah Carey
M by Mariah Carey Gold Deluxe Edition is a strong, incense-infused amber fragrance with a creamy floral core of gardenia and tiare flower. It carries a warm, smoky depth amplified by patchouli, giving it a rich and elevated character compared to the original M. The fragrance is considered long-lasting and powerful, particularly noticeable on the skin at night or during colder months—most users report satisfaction with its sillage and staying power when applied properly. While it retains a hint of sweetness, it leans more toward the sophisticated and balsamic, avoiding the cloying sweetness associated with the original M EDP, making it a more mature alternative.
Pros
- +Longevity and sillage are strong, lasting through the night and leaving a noticeable presence
- +Offers a deeper, richer take on the original fragrance with a smoky, warm amber and patchouli base
- +Appeals to fans of incense and balsamic scents who seek a more mature, less sweet alternative
Cons
- −Not suitable for summer due to its heavy, smoky character
- −Extremely limited availability makes it difficult to obtain
- −Fragrance held in a seemingly cheap or low-quality bottle, especially in mini sizes
