The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2011, Gold by Michael Kors is a Floral Woody Musk fragrance that balances the delicate sweetness of white florals with subtle animalic and powdery notes. The composition opens with freesia and violet, leading to a heart of magnolia and tuberose that reads as crisp yet warm, before settling into an amber and musky base that adds depth and comfort. This scent is designed to feel like the perfect blend of elegance and approachability.
One spray is sufficient for the freesia and violet top notes to introduce a crisp freshness that gives way to the more enveloping base. The musky and amber tones bloom over an hour, making it perfect for daytime wear that gradually warms up as the evening approaches.
