About This Perfume
Think Apple liqueur with peppery, leathery warmth: that is Antonio Banderas The Golden Secret. It opens with apple and mint, moves into nutmeg, pepper and cumin and settles on leather, cedar and musk. It leans masculine, though anyone can wear it.
This eau de toilette is best in spring, fall and winter and is easy to wear day or night. It suits casual days, the office and date nights. Released in 2011.
In the community's experience it lasts a solid half day on skin, and stays close to the skin.
Is it right for you?
- Best for: anyone after something gourmand and sweet for casual days.
- Sample first if: sweet is new territory for you.
- Skip if: you want a scent other people notice from across the room.
Around $45.
