Giordani Gold Man
by Oriflame
Giordani Gold Man presents a striking, complex fragrance that begins with a bold burst of black pepper, cardamom, and citrus, creating a vibrant yet slightly unpredictable opening. The core features a balance of aromatic, woody, and warm spicy notes—particularly the prominent presence of vetiver and sandalwood—anchored by subtle floral hints from jasmine and neroli. The composition reveals a faint, dry-spiked absement note, contributing to its somewhat enigmatic character. Though the scent is widely embraced by men, with most users rating it as highly masculine, it has a delicate, almost flirtatious undertone that some find unexpectedly soft or even
Pros
- +Rich and aromatic opening that stands out in crowded fragrance markets
- +Inner depth and texture that can be more pronounced than initial impressions suggest, especially on skin
- +Successfully blends spicy, woody, and dry floral accords in a cohesive way
Cons
- −Weak sillage and moderate longevity make it subtle and fleeting
- −Unexpected wateriness or flatness in the base, contrary to its promising profile
- −Some users report strong physical reactions (e.g. nausea), possibly tied to specific notes like vetiver or the absement hint
