Honestly, Commodity had me at Cocktail.  And being the cocktail aficionado that I am, I hold this product near a dear to my heart.  I loooove unisex fragrances, and my go to is usually Bond No.9 New York Signature Scent.  But Commodity has come through to steal the show.  Unfortunately because I am a Bond girl, the compared longevity of most of the Commodity scents wear off rather quickly and that is the only reason I’m giving it 4 stars.  

Being able to mix and match these scents are what intrigues me the most.  At first I was timid and only wore one at a time.  Rain is a part of the White collection and it smells so fresh.  I’ve started using these scents as an expression of my mood.  Creating my personal ‘recipe’ and formula has been nothing short of interesting.  Mimosa and Rain become a part of my daily spritz when I need a mental boost; a reminder of a beach day with rays of sun warming my skin and the scent of the ocean breeze through an open window.  Ironically, before reading more about this company I noticed I was using certain scents to release a certain emotion or mood I was experiencing.  Commodity’s mission is to “find our inspiration in the creations of our collaborators and the emotions our scents, colors and textures evoke in you.” Eventually I started adding Book from the Black collection.  This scent was unexpected for me with hints of spicy cucumber and torchwood.  I’m really into woodsy scents and mixing this with Rain is my favorite.  All I need is about two sprays of Rain and a half spritz of Book and I’m feeling so refreshed.  Most of the time I grab a single bottle from the White collection and throw it in my bag to have throughout the day, which is easier than carrying around two or three different scentssince the White collection smells amazing all around. I can understand if the Black collection is a little too harsh for some women, but I enjoyed every scent.  Moss and Gin from the Black collection pair well with Gold in my opinion, but honestly I won’t get too deep about my preferences because I believe scents are such a personal experience.  Everything depends on your own mood and what you enjoy walking around emitting all day. 

The test kit I have is retailed at $26.00 which was perfect to test out whichscents I enjoyed the most and for travelling.  Sephora offers another kit at $45 which includes: 6 x 0.16 oz/ 5 mL Eau de Parfum Travel Sprays in Vetiver, Bergamot, Book, Moss, Gold, Rain.  I haven’t tested Vetiver or Bergamot but I would definitely splurge on the larger kit just to see what it was all about.  The Commodity kits are perfect for those who want to create their own scent, while Commodity does offer a selection of these scents in full and travel size bottles ranging from $35-135.00.

Commodity Gold Fragrance Review

Written by Deanna P 

For those of you that have followed me or read any of my reviews on perfumes, colognes, etc, you know that I am extremely particular about scents.  I believe there can be the best smelling perfume ever, but it just might not mix with your body chemistry, therefore, it will smell horrible on you.  With that said, I use the same perfume everyday.  I have switched maybe a handful of times in my life, because when I find a scent I like, I stick with it.  

 

I recently was given the Commodity Gold Eau De Perfume Spray to try.  I knew nothing about the brand or their line of perfumes.  All I had read was they were said to be used on both men & women.I came to find out that Commodity as a company was all about the fragrance being about the individual. Like their name implies,  there collection is inspired by everyday commodities.  They also believe the fun comes in when you mix & match their scents to create an individual scent that is perfect for you.   They have a few collections & Gold is in the white collection which also includes, Rain, Mimosa, Tea,  & Magnolia. 

 

Gold comes in a 3.4 Fl oz/100 ml bottle for $105.00 & Eau De Perfume Spray which is 0.33 oz/10 ml for $26.00.   I think the pricing is fair as perfume is expensive & I believe this brand will be around for a while as it is cool & very appealing.  The concept is an interesting approach to something that has been around for years, but has not changed much.  Commodity really makes perfumes sexy, new & exciting. Gold is one of the more popular scents.  It was inspired by money in liquid form.  It’s notes include Bergamot, Juniper Berries, Camphor, Amber, Haitian Vetiver, Benzoin, Sandalwood, Vanilla, Tonka Bean,  & Nubian Musk. 

 

The first time I sprayed this on myself was before I was getting in the shower as I was that afraid I would not like the way it smelled.  Well, I have to say I was more than pleasantly surprised.  I loved it!  I did not only think it smelled delectable…..I thought it smelled amazing on me.  I have been wearing it every day since I first tried it.    The white collection is said to be light, airy, & easy, which it is.   The mix of the notes really make this true liquid gold for me.  The smell pleases me & makes me very happy.  I definitely recommend & I will probably buy more of these scents so I can mix & match them & see what more I can create.
