The original Gold by Jay Z fragrance was curated by Ilias Ermenidis and is a mixture of warm spicy, aromatic, and citrus aromas. The top notes include blueberry (that isn’t noticeable at face value), cardamom, grapefruit, and ginger. Middle notes include pink pepper, violet leaf, lavender, and vetiver. The base notes bring the fragrance together with vanilla, amber, teak wood, and Myrrh.
