The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2017 by Yves Saint Laurent and crafted by perfumer Honorine Blanc, Magnificent Gold is an Oriental fragrance that blends the warmth of vanilla with the richness of oud and musk. The composition opens with saffron and pink pepper, creating a spicy contrast to the soft, enveloping base notes of sandalwood and white oud. This unisex scent embodies the opulence expected from Yves Saint Laurent while maintaining a modern edge.
Apply one or two sprays to your pulse points for a lasting warmth. The spicy top notes are brief but impactful, so ensure the musky base has time to develop before heading out.
