by Naomi Campbell
Queen of Gold by Naomi Campbell is a sweet, fruity-chocolate fragrance with a warm vanilla and sandalwood base, evoking a cozy yet tropical feel. It begins with juicy black currant, passionfruit, and pear, transitioning into a soft floral heart of freesia, rose, and jasmine, before settling into a smooth, creamy chocolate-vanilla-sandalwood drydown. The scent is multilayered and nuanced, with a surprising softness and a delicate sweetness that avoids being cloying. It performs best in cooler months, particularly winter and autumn, and suits both day and night wear. Despite moderate sillage and moderate longevity, many find it enjoyable for its price, with several comparing it favorably to other affordable gourmands like Venezia or Burberry Body. However, it doesn't stand out in performance, with most noting it fades quickly and lacks projection—some users even report it being barely noticeable or intolerable.
