Pastel vs Gold

Commodity Gold Expressive is praised for its beautiful, creamy vanilla scent and sophisticated character, but severely criticized for its lack of projection and poor longevity that doesn't justify its high price. Multiple users report the fragrance has been reformulated and weakened over time, with many seeking alternatives or dupes like Zara's Golden Decade or Lost in a Dream by Navitus Parfums that offer better performance at lower cost.
