One of the best
As far as I am concerned, the gold flake version is exactly the same as the original Rose d'Arabie fragrance. I love dark roses, and have owned and sampled a multitude of them and still, Rose d'Arabie remains one of my all time favorites. There is something totally magical and unexplained about it. The best way I can describe it is that it is best smelled from far away. When smelled from a distance, it takes on an airy, rosey, woody vibe which is missing when you smell your own arm up close. The magic is in wearing this sprayed on the stomach and noticing as it wafts up at you throughout the day. Up close, it smells very much like any other dark rose.
The longevity and sillage are absolutely impeccable. The gold dust in the bottle does leave a shimmer on the skin but that is lost to me since I apply the fragrance on my stomach. It looks nice in the bottle but you have to shake it for a while to get all the particles dislodged. I want to point out that the particles are tiny and do not look like glitter but a true shimmer.
