Sarah Baker Gold Spot
Citrus blossom, dark chocolate, oud
Gold Spot is the celebrity-themed oud of the house, an Extrait de Parfum from 2022 composed with perfumer Chris Maurice. The brand sells it as the luxe, bonbon side of oud. Citrus blossoms lift a heart of dark chocolate, Laos oud and butterscotch, which rests on Suyufi agarwood, amber, vanilla and sweet myrrh.

How it unfolds
-
Blossom and zest
Orange blossom, bergamot, neroli and petitgrain make a bright, slightly green opening of citrus and flowers. Cypriol adds a dry, woody undertone beneath it, so the freshness has a dark edge from the very first minute rather than a clean, sunny one.
-
Chocolate and oud
The heart is where Gold Spot turns dark and sweet. Dark chocolate and butterscotch give it a confectionery side, while Laos oud brings a resinous, woody depth. It reads like a bonbon with a dark centre: rich, but not syrupy.
-
Agarwood, amber, myrrh
Suyufi agarwood leads the base, with amber, vanilla, musk and sweet myrrh around it. It is warm, smooth and resinous, and the sweetness of the heart carries through. As an extrait it is dense and slow to fade, with enough weight that a little goes far.
Wearing it
When, who and why
Evenings and cold days
Gold Spot is a scent for evenings, dinners and cold weather, when its sweetness and resin have room to settle. One or two sprays are enough. Keep it for cooler days, when warm, resinous scents sit more comfortably than they do in the heat.
Who suits it
Those who enjoy oud when it is sweet and smooth rather than stark: lovers of gourmand, amber and chocolate notes, and people who like a scent with presence at an evening event. If you want something light and fresh, this is not the right pick.

The store’s selection is really good and comprehensive. Placing an order was very easy, and shipping was really fast. The fragrances were well packed and they were all excellent. I’m very satisfied. 👍💯👍
Very good quality profume, it last long and it has a good price for its incredible aroma and mixes of fruit and wood smell
A cozy, slightly sensual vanilla that feels like warm night air by the sea. Easy to love if you enjoy gourmand perfumes with a soft smoky edge.
This perfume is really well blended, I just removed a star because I personnaly don't like the top note (citronella)
Placing the order was very easy. Shipping was very fast. I am completely satisfied.
Good cologne, love the citrus and ginger scent making it a playful combo while the tea base makes it a bit more mature. Great for the gym
FragranceGems is again really quick with their releases. I hope this one smells better than Too Damn Good. Already rating a 5 star because of previous experiences!!
Already pre-order. As always, FragranceGems is the first with good releases. Looking forward to my bottle!
The cap of the bottle came with a small part of it broken off and the glass pieces were in the box
