  Gold Sugar is more refined than its sister, Pink Sugar. A perfect blend of whipped cream, crème brûlée, vanilla, coconut, and orange. It’s like a delicious, elegant, and creamy dessert. The trail and longevity are ten out of ten, and the price is very fair.

  Crème brûlée and coconut, an incredibly rich perfume. It feels less sweet than Pink Sugar. Lasts over 12 hours with great sillage, and best of all, it’s very affordable.

  Crème brûlée and coconut, a luxury. It smells less sweet than Pink Sugar. It lasts over 12 hours, the trail is top-notch, and it’s very cheap.

  At first, full-on lemon, but then it calms down and left me blown away. It smells strange, not usual: it turns creamy, a little sweet and fresh. It’s very noticeable, lasts a while, and leaves a great trail. I’ve never smelled anything like this. I loved it, even though it’s not my style.

  I bought this blind online and it didn’t disappoint at all—it’s exactly what I was looking for, if not more. Even though it says orange, at first it smells like sweet lemon zest; then comes the soft, creamy coconut, and finally a warm, tender vanilla that’s incredibly tempting. It’s not for a tough boss, but rather for a close, friendly girl. I absolutely love it; it’s addictive, I can’t stop smelling myself, and I keep getting compliments. The longevity and sillage are great, especially on clothes. I wear it to work, and by the next day, my room smells like my shirt. I recommend it to gourmand lovers.

  I bought it blindly based on the description and reviews, and it didn’t disappoint—it’s exactly what I expected and more. Although it carries orange, at first it smells like when you grate a lemon peel for baking. In the heart, the coconut is very noticeable, soft, creamy, and sweet. In the dry down, it leaves a warm, tender vanilla scent, very appetizing. I don’t imagine it on an authoritative boss or someone wanting to convey distance, but rather on a kind, accessible girl. To me, it’s delicious and addictive; I can’t stop smelling it. It’s very pleasant to wear, and I receive many compliments. Longevity and projection are quite good, especially on clothes. I wear it to work and when I go out, I hang my shirt in a small room; the next day, that room smells like my perfume. I highly recommend it to gourmand lovers; they’ll surely love it.

  It’s a tender winter fragrance, a find from Christmas sales. I expected it to be as sweet as Pink Sugar, but it’s not: this one is less sweet, softer, more mature, and easier to wear. It melts into the skin and stays there. At the start, tangerine and bergamota are slightly oily, but once that sensation fades and it turns sweet with the creaminess of coconut and white flowers, I’m lost. In the dry down, a soft musky sandalwood wants to turn vanilla. Moderate trail, not intrusive, and lasts about 5 hours on me. Perfect for cold weather, semi-formal occasions, and not cloying. It doesn’t smell like bronzer or burnt sugar, but like a delicious little cake. Some compare it to D&G Pour Femme, but that one is more youthful with its raspberry; Gold Sugar is creamier and more vanilla-like. It also reminds me of Lolita Lempicka’s Elle L’Aime, but that one has a bitter ylang-ylang touch and is summery, whereas Gold Sugar is sweet and wintery. To me, it screams home. Whoever wears it is a woman to hug on the couch watching movies or reminiscing about travel anecdotes. A sweet mom helping with homework, an afternoon with friends drinking cappuccino and baking cakes. It’s not for cold, haughty, or bad-tempered women who hide their boyfriends; for them, vade retro. They say it’s not for seduction, but isn’t a vanilla scent that melts with a woman’s skin sexy? It slides goodness and sensuality through every pore. I totally agree with Arena: it’s the fragrance of a good woman who knows how to give herself and tender hugs. P.S.: I didn’t like the bottle, too gold all over.

  A tender fragrance for winter, found after Christmas shopping and sales. I expected it to be as sweet as Pink Sugar, but it’s not; that one smells more mischievous. This one is less sweet, softer, more mature, and easy to wear. It melts into the skin and stays there. At the start, tangerine and bergamot are a bit greasy, but as that sensation fades, the sweetness, the creaminess of coconut, and white flowers take me away. In the base, a soft musky sandalwood wants to turn vanilla. Moderate trail, nothing intrusive, and lasts about 5 hours on me. Ideal for cold weather, semi-formal, not cloying, doesn’t smell like bronzer or burnt sugar, but like a rich little cake. I’ve read it’s compared to D&G Pour Femme, but that one is more youthful due to the raspberry, while Gold Sugar is creamier and more vanilla-like. It also has something of Lolita Lempicka’s Elle L’Amour, but that one has a bitter ylang-ylang touch and is more summery; Gold Sugar is sweeter and wintery. This fragrance screams home to me. Whoever wears it is a woman to hug on a comfy couch watching movies or looking at photos, laughing hysterically recalling past trips or dreaming new routes… A sweet mom helping with homework while cooking… An afternoon with loyal friends having cappuccino and baking cakes in the oven. It’s not for cold, haughty, or bad-tempered women who hide their boyfriends, hehe. Abstain, this is their vade retro. They say it’s not the best for seduction, but isn’t a vanilla fragrance that melts with a woman’s skin sexy? Goodness and sensuality slide through every pore. I totally agree with my friend Arena: it’s the fragrance of a good woman who knows how to give herself and sweet hugs. P.S.: I didn’t like the bottle, too gold… it had to have at least one flaw.

  I’ve been wearing Pink Sugar for years and decided to try Gold Sugar for a change. It smells good, but it’s too strong for me; just sniffing it gives me a headache due to the intensity of the crème brûlée. I had to gift it away because I couldn’t even stand looking at it. It’s not a bad fragrance—it has great projection and longevity—but simply isn’t ideal for my nose.

  It smells a bit like Benefit’s So Hooked on Carmella, nothing like sunscreen. At first, it’s citrusy tangerine, then comes the creamy scent which is what I love most, and finally, your skin smells like vanilla cream. At first, I thought I wouldn’t like it, but in the end, it pleasantly surprised me.

  Gold Sugar kicks off with a burst of sweet orange and tangerine, as if they’re at their peak ripeness. Minutes later, that crème brûlée creaminess emerges with coconut and whipped cream. In the background, I detect a juicy, acidic peach that, though not listed, smells like vanilla with a buttery, oily touch, as if it were a real dessert. If Pink Sugar is innocent and girly, Gold Sugar is more mature and sensual thanks to its floral, musk, and sandalwood notes. It reminds me of Elizabeth Arden’s 5th Avenue. It has a high-to-moderate trail and lasts 8 to 10 hours. I wear it casually in autumn and winter.

  When I first tried it, it was summer, a mistake! It gave me a headache. I saved it for winter; the first time I applied it, I felt like a crème brûlée cake… sweet, cloying. The funniest part was that people around me thought I had a cake hidden somewhere… Obviously, I stayed quiet. It’s not a bad perfume; its citrus top notes don’t bother me at all. It lasts a long time. I only use it very occasionally on extremely cold days, to avoid bothering anyone, since it has a very heavy sillage.

  I love it! Sweet but not cloying. I bought it blind and it didn’t disappoint. The opening might seem a bit intrusive to me, but it quickly blends with the cream, vanilla… and becomes part of me. I only use it in winter, though.

  I love it! I just tried it thanks to a very generous Fragrantica member, and I’m liking it so much. Citrus isn’t my thing, but the coconut and the milky scent… wow, amazing! I really like it. I might end up overwhelming everyone with it and convince them otherwise, haha 🤣🤭. It reminds me of something I don’t usually wear, so once I start wearing it, I’ll add it here.

  Sweet crème brûlée! With a citrus opening dominated by mandarin, it transitions into a sweet lemon dessert scent, then whipped cream softens it further and the mandarin fades. A touch of coconut appears, adding a delicious note without being loud at first, but by the end of the day, the coconut dominates along with the whipped cream, losing the crème brûlée’s spotlight. Sometimes I get a vanilla vibe. Overall, it’s sweet and evolving, creamy. A delight! I’m surprised it’s not an annoying or invasive citrus, but perfectly balanced. I don’t detect any floral or powdery notes. It’s very versatile; I’d wear it in autumn and winter. I find it sensual, elegant, more refined, and less cloying than its ‘sister’ Pink Sugar. Longevity is lasting, sillage is moderate, excellent performance. The packaging is simple but looks nice, gold and shiny. Good price-to-quality ratio. I love it!

  It delivers exactly what it promises: a sugary-sweet perfume as expected, smelling like a coconut cake with vanilla essence, fluffy and rich, though with a slight alcoholic nuance. Personally, I didn’t like it; it’s excessively sweet and that final nuance feels artificial, but lovers of coconut (which isn’t really my thing either) and sweetness will probably adore it. Great sillage and durability of about 6 hours or more; for the price, it’s unbeatable.

  Delicious, sweet, but with a touch of elegance. It’s a pity it’s so hard to find; I think it’s discontinued. The last time I saw it, it was ridiculously cheap at 7 euros for 50ml. If you see it and you’re a gourmand lover but want to try something more ‘elegant,’ grab it. It’s citrusy, sweet, creamy, but with a hint of orange blossom… a delight!

  I found this a couple of years ago at a bargain price, considering it’s such a particular gourmand. First off, even though it’s sweet, it’s not annoying at all; it doesn’t get heavy or loud like many current gourmands. The opening is a sweet orange that deepens and takes on a vanilla dessert texture… warm, creamy, milky… like a succulent crème brûlée with orange zest on top. The sweet notes are well-placed, each in its own spot, making this an exquisite perfume for cold afternoons or autumn days. Once it settles on the skin, it doesn’t evolve much, maintaining that sugary dessert sensation while leaving an impression of vanilla flan with a soft but present woody note that gives it character and keeps it from feeling childish or artificially sweet. Unfortunately, it’s discontinued and prices keep rising if you can find it, but I still have more than half a bottle left to enjoy when I’m in the mood for something sweet. It’s truly exquisite, has good longevity on my skin, but remains a scent that stays in your close circle, not cloying. A favorite for the approaching autumn… Cheers!

  I found this a couple of years ago; it’s incredibly cheap for what it is, a very particular gourmand. Although sweet, it’s not annoying or heavy like many current gourmand scents. The opening is a sweet orange that deepens into a rich, custard-like texture—warm, creamy, and milky, like a succulent crème brûlée with orange zest. The sweet notes are well-balanced, making it exquisite for cool afternoons or autumn days. On the skin, it doesn’t evolve much, maintaining that sugary dessert vibe with a soft yet characterful woody note that keeps it from feeling childish or artificially sweet. Unfortunately, it’s discontinued and pricier if you can find it, but I still have more than half a bottle left to enjoy whenever I crave something sweet. It’s truly exquisite, has good longevity, and projects well in close range without being cloying. A favorite for the approaching autumn. Cheers!

  A fresh, wearable gourmand, very typical of Aquolina with that playful, youthful touch. It opens with citrus and coconut but quickly transitions into a sweet, vanilla-milky scent with a lingering citrus base. It feels spring-like. Longevity is moderate (though it clings well to clothes), and the sillage is too.

  I’d read reviews saying it was a must-have, and it was hard to find since it’s discontinued and sold at ridiculous prices. The perfume itself is rich and sweet but not cloying; it feels like a catalog scent. If you can’t find it, let me tell you: you’re not missing out. It’s nothing special, just something similar to its sister, Pink Sugar.

  Honestly, this perfume fell short of its promise. The opening is very alcoholic and makes the citrus notes disappear quickly, though it leaves a faint orange trail. Once it settles, the creamy side takes over: a light coconut that isn’t sweet or tropical, a touch of orange blossom, milky notes, and a hint of burnt sugar (much subtler than the burnt caramel in its sister, Pink Sugar). That milky-sweet blend creates a crème brûlée accord. Sometimes I catch a hint of anise. It has a lot in common with Jeanne Arthes’ Guipure&Silk Ylang Vanille, but this one has more coconut, is less milky and vanilla-forward, and doesn’t last as long. The sillage is moderate and lasts about 7 hours if applied well. It smells great but didn’t surprise me; I removed it from my collection. It’s a mature gourmand, not childish, but it didn’t steal my heart since I’d already tried something similar. If you find it expensive because it’s discontinued, it wasn’t worth it for me. Scent 7.5/10, Longevity 7/10, Sillage 7/10, Value -/10, Versatility 8/10, Packaging 7/10. I wouldn’t buy it again.
