Gold Immortals
by Ex Nihilo
Gold Immortals exudes a radiant, opulent warmth that unfolds in layers. The opening features a juicy, slightly tart bergamot and pear that feels fresh and succulent, quickly giving way to a luminous floral heart dominated by peony and hints of ylang-ylang, creating a sweet yet airy, tropical floral ambiance. This transitions into a deeply creamy, golden ambery base infused with tonka bean and musk, lending a soft, velvety, long-lasting impression. The scent evolves with an almost intoxicating charm, leaving a persistent trail that lingers on skin and fabric for over 24 hours, though some find the musk dominates the drydown, turning earthy or even slightly synthetic. It performs best in cooler weather—autumn and winter are frequently cited—as its full warmth and depth emerge, though some appreciate its presence on warmer days. The sillage is moderate to strong, carrying a rich, aromatic presence suitable for evening wear and intimate moments, but may be overwhelming in packed spaces or for those sensitive to musky florals.
Pros
- +Exceptional longevity and sillage, with the scent lasting up to 24 hours and smelling strong even after 12 hours
- +Rich, creamy, and warm amber-wooded base that feels luxurious and opulent, making it highly wearable as a signature scent
- +Unique scent profile that stands out from similar fragrances like BR540 or Delina, with a distinct balance of freshness, sweetness, and depth
Cons
- −The musk undertone can become pronounced and less pleasant in the drydown, especially for those averse to musky textures
- −Some users find the scent dissipates into an odd, earthy musk and lose interest after the initial burst, despite strong performance
- −The fragrance may feel too sweet or feminine for those seeking something more neutral or unisex, despite its broader appeal
