By the editors · 2 min readThe Golden Secret opens with a green-fruity combination of apple and mint — clean and fresh-smelling, if uncomplicated. Cumin and nutmeg arrive in the heart with unexpected warmth and a dry-spice presence; the cumin in particular gives the composition a slightly skin-like quality that reads as more interesting than the opening suggests.
Cedar and leather in the base provide a dry, slightly worn finish with musk support. For a mass-market celebrity fragrance, The Golden Secret uses its seven notes with reasonable coherence — a brisk, spiced fresh fragrance that works as a functional everyday option.
