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.
You must be drinking buddies with MFK 🫡
Aaron, thank you for all reviews this year!! Waiting for others in 2023. You're brilliant!!
Love your channel, have learned so much from you.
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.
I have both and prefer the gold. On me it has great longevity. Not as radiant as the silver but lasts long and is deliciously sweet
It smells like baby formula which is pleasant indeed.
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 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
The bottle alone with the purple colored perfume looks so gorgeous, easy pick for a Kurkdijan collection…
Brilliant channel 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.
Hey Aaron, love your reviews!
Have you thought of trying Ganymede by Marc Antoine Barrois?
This one blew me away! 💎
I own this perfume myself and in my experience other people smell the perfume more than you do yourself when wearing it. I do love this perfume though, warm and comforting.
i freaking love Gold version. absolutely amazing
This is the best one in the line to me and running neck and neck with Oud Satin Mood. (Not a big Rose guy, but that’s really good). Yes i like it better than 540 as well which is great.
Excited for this one
I love this! I spray a lot of it though because it is light. I don’t get the parmaviolets smell at all thankfully. It does last quite a while on me but I am in the Middle East where it’s hot. If I had a signature fragrance this would be it.
Hey Aaron, what types of chemicals are typically used for the coloring of fine fragrance? I’ve made a fragrance batch that I want to turn light pink. The current color is a slightly tan color.
Love your reviews Aaron! I own this perfume, I like it. However, it doesn't radiate off my skin, very poor sillage! Generally, it takes a beast to radiate off my skin.
I agree with this being heavy. It’s 100% a personal scent, projection doesn’t exist with this. Hoping to try it in the warmer months to see if my thoughts change because I do like the scent.
This is one of my most complimented fragrances 😊
This guy gives me asmr,I always feel a nice gush from my neck down my spine with his mannerisms.
lol I feel the same!
You should try this fragrance on a hot summer day. That is when it performs the best. I also don't get much projection during the winter months.
I live in Australia and in peak summer at the moment. It’s slightly better in the humidity but it’s no monster. I find you still have to move in to smell it.
I think this one is the one my girlfriend likes. The silver and gold can be layered to make a fantastic fragrance. I really enjoy his house because it’s different and most of his stuff is radiant off my skin.
I’d be interested to see if marks change after revisiting fragrances. I’ve had some fragrances that turned from likes to loves after leaving them for a bit.
I had a tiny sample of this and I felt the performance was lacking as well. Like you, I tried it on a cold day, but it became a skin scent soon after applying
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.
Aaron, please make my dream come true :D and do the review of my all time best scent Wood Infusion by Goldfield and Banks. I think you will love this fragrance too.
This is on e of my ladies favorite fragrances of all time.
From the MFKs I own/ and have samples, this is somehow in my case the most in sillage; prefer this over silver, might become signature.
I’m so glad you found this flat as well…I purchased GFG after smelling it on someone who owned an earlier batch. Her GFG was radiant. However my batch was is so flat it doesn’t radiate off my skin at all. Have tried it on numerous other people and each has resulted in the same wear.
Try it with a petrolatum or unscented cream underneath
Love this one got it last year
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
Hey Aaron, another great vid! Thought I'd let you know they still sell Parma violet sweets and I still enjoy eating them 😅
Useless comment
Great review again!
Have an awesome Christmas 🎄 and a wonderful New Year!
Can u do Cedrat Boise by Mancera? Im curious what is your opinion on it.
Have this 1 thought it was a little feminine. But I still love the way it smells so I reach for it every once in a while
Hi Aaron! I love your channel! As a suggestion, I would like you to test the performance of the fragances before shooting the videos and let us know. We are tired of reformulations and non-performing fragances. I hope you will take into consideration this suggestion. Cheers!
That’s what he does these probably take a few hours
Thank you Aaron.
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.
As a man, i like gentle fluidity gold more than silver. I like how simple it is, it’s nice when you want to wear a light fragrance
QUESTION: Why do some fragrances have a cheap plastic smell???
Hi, Aaron! Can you review Masculin Pluriel and Amyris Homme?
I find this extremely potent. It projects massively and has insane longevity.
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.
GFG is light and airy, but smelles really good in the air, great it warm weather. To me it's like a whimsical vanilla in the air.
i heard from the grapevine you have an absolutely gold bottle for review ?
My favorite of his parfums
Hopefully he does some great things with Dior but honestly the MFK eponymous brand has been quite boring.
I'm viewing because I'm interested in ATH.
You should do a review about dior fahrenheit absolute
I personally dont find it breathtaking. Yes definitely I find it flat however I get massive compliments when I wear it. It stays stagnant for me it does not do much however its a crowd pleaser so am always on the fence with it however when my bottle finishes I will not repurchase
Layering silver and gold is quite interesting
Interesting marketing ploy
Man listen to me. I wore this one time to an event and the compliments were non stop on me. It smells amazing and blended perfect to me. The longevity is amazing. Now I don’t do feminine leaning fragrances but this is as far as I’ll go. Great Fragrance and i like it better than the Silver.
Which one tho the gold edition or the silver one the (normal)
@@omw2fyb935 the gold one. It actually use to come in purple liquid but not any more. But yea if any man but definitely a woman wanna smell like money and “I’m the ishh” then this will put you in that light. Next to Oud Satin Mood it’s my favorite 1 yep even better than 540 which is a legend.
@@omw2fyb935 it’s a great floral smell but not that old lady floral that all parfumes end up smelling like. It’s great.
I really like this fragrance.
Hallo Aaron 🙋🏼♀️ much love from Amsterdam!
I love your reactions..
Can you do a reaction 2 ome of my favorits of alll time?
Dolce Amalfi by Xerjoff casamorati💛
I love iT
Whipping through the base 🥃
This smell so good
GFG or Grand Soir?
His voice is like mmmmm 😊
I gave away my bottle because I can't smell it on me and when I do it smells like a piece of nougat which is strange on me.. then whenever I smell it on my friend whom I passed the bottle on to, I luuuuuuvvve it, like I can't stop inhaling her and want to grab her hahahaha
So I guess... Try it before u buy it, or, try it on your partner before u but it haha
Happy holidays Aaron~ you are a gem 💎
I layer it with molecue 01 it lasssssssts for hourrrrrsssss
I didn't like Gentle Fluidity Gold, too sweet. I love MFK's Petit Matin
Parma Violets are my favourite sweet 😅
Try layer gold and silver...suprisingly very nice...😉
How many sprays of each? @mg19
Gold and silver was meant to be layered to be a all year round fragrance silver was warm climates and gold was for cold 😊
Oh wow!!!!! I never thought about that
I was surprised too GF was so close to the skin. Didn’t buy it in the end
You can still get those sweets
It's not better than Filth, which I need another bottle. See If you can find it in your heart to make one more batch.
I find most of the mfk perfumes on myself to be overrated in my opinion but each to their own, but on my girlfriend they smell incredible so maybe it’s her skin
🙌🏻🦄
I actually really like Gold Fluidity. On me it smells very vanilla boozy and last on me a long time and I get tons of compliments so projection is good on me. On me it’s not musky at all. I had a sample and bought a full size bottle.
It has the same notes as the Silver but it’s configured in a different order making it smell different from the Silver.
@@daniell5740 I do two sprays, my skin grabs on to it
Yes flat sweet and blech
I kind of gag just listening to the name that they chose for the perfume.
Gold smells great but you’re right. It is a little flat and zero longevity
Silver for men!! Gold for women!!!!
I don’t know why but I can’t stand his work. Br 540 is built around this one smell I can’t stand and I will never understand how it’s so popular.
I love his stuff I really don’t know why. 😂😂 I bought 540 the year it was released
@@Robert-fc9xz I see that comparison!!!
@@Robert-fc9xz everybody doesn’t like the same scents lol
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.
Aaron went nose blind
My girlfriend thinks that Gentle fluidity Gold is a women’s fragrance so she helps herself to my bottle as she pleases 🤣
Oh my it smells cheap and yes very heavy def a lot going on. Thank goodness I just purchased a sample yes musk heavy also and I love musk but it's just cheap smelling. Very disappointed
I dislike it. It is thick sweet n cloying. I prefer silver
I smelled that gold one and I didn’t smell shit.
😂
Smells like golden dust by sunnamusk tried to copy this.
