    Apparently with Gold/Silver the purpose was to take exactly the same notes & manipulate them differently to construct 2 different fragrances.
    As you mentioned they’re both made up of Juniper, Coriander, vanilla, nutmeg, musks & ambery wood molecules.

    This and Grand Soir is my favorites, got Gentke Fluidity Silver for my Husband, but looks like my son wants GFS more.
    Thank you for these reviews, great listening to you soft voice, you sound smooth like gentle fluidity gold and interesting, like Grand Soir.
    All the best, always

    ❤ I love GFG. I was even thinking of graduating from the 2.4 oz to the 6.8. It’s a lovely vanilla with some interest at the top, but yes, it does not radiate much off of me. However, I don’t think all of his fragrances need to rampage like Baccarat.

    When I sprayed this on perfume testing paper I couldn’t smell anything. But when I put it directly on my skin, I loved it. If you’re looking for something soft, beautiful, pretty and comforting i would recommend this. Also heard that it can smell slightly different on different people. Great everyday perfume that isn’t offensive, overbearing and perfect to wear to the office, if you’re a mother or to elegant sophisticated events and you want to be that feminine pretty girl

    I have this and wear it during the warm/hot summer months. My husband really likes it on me and noticed this, even though he rarely notices my perfume even though I have dozens of fabulous niche fragrances. The first time I wore it, he hugged me and said, “oooh, you smell like Harrod’s!” And we’re ‘Mercians in the U.S., so the Harrod’s comparison means it’s pretty special smelling

    I had an all day meeting, and chose to wear GF Gold bc it seemed crowd pleasing. I definitely noticed people moving in closer to me. I love Violet as a note so make sense that I like this. It lasted all day, and the silage was about two feet to start, then about 1 foot after about 4hrs. Palmer Violets! 😂 Happy Holidays Aaron!

    I own both, the gold and the silver. The gold is sweeter, and heavier than the silver. On my skin, GFG is elegant and warm. I like it a lot. It does project, but it is not overwhelming.
    My husband wears the silver one. I feel that it is a cold fragrance. It is very clean and more masculine than the gold one.
    I should try to layer them both.

    OK Mr Hughes. You've sold me. Been watching these video for weeks now, nonstop. Just made an order for these from Maxaroma: Tabac, Oud, Hard Candy, Haze Black and Blue, Daddy, and Boss Bastard. If these are good then next round is some combo of Guapo, Patchouli Noir, Blood Orange, Legend, and Maverick. Never buy fragrances drunk people! Don't be like me...Fingers crossed.

    Just bought the gold version. It smells amazing, but it doesn’t project how I would want it to, and on clothes, it doesn’t seem to last long. I feel like this is a spring/fall, maybe summer scent because this needs to be on your skin, and you don’t have to have on heavy clothing.

    I remember testing silver and gold straight away when they came out with samples one could easily buy when MFK was cool and meant to be accessible to the people. And my experience was entirely different than yours in the video.
    Gold smelt warm, vanillin kinda opulent and very resent where silver smelled tamed, extremely clean. Concept wise Gold reminded me of grand soir vs petit matin. Cause gold seemed so all out vs the silver.
    Maybe they changed stuff up when MFK got bought. My wife was in Paris in one of their stores last year. It’s an obnoxious luxury brand like any other where staff treats you like worthyless

    I really love it as a cozy scent. It’s linear and comforting to me, but also feels clean. I use it a lot, but is a great layering scent. I see what you mean by flat, but I enjoy that in a way, it doesn’t shout that it’s there, but if someone hugged me it’s there.

    While I don't dislike the smell (neither do I love it) I also find it to be very flat and 'sticky' in a way, I remember spraying it on at a department store and thinking it feels like a fragrance oil, more like a film of vaseline almost on my skin, super intense when sniffing up close though.

      I am more of a Dominic Rapion and Jacques Guerlain kind of girl but I wanted at least one mfk in my collection after hearing of the longevity and performance lol. I went for the gentle fluidity gold because it’s the only one I liked. Oud satin mood is also nice but I am not a huge fan of synthetic oud, especially for those price points. I have enough sources to get the real thing lol. The best way I can describe Francis Kurkdjian is he is a clever perfumer. He knows what the masses like and how to deliver it to them. Many of his scents are not as sophisticated or elegant as I like. I am sure he has the talent to create niche olfactory art pieces but he definitely knows how to cater to the larger crowd and in a way that still makes him a genius without having to prefer his work myself lol.
