Louis Cardin Exotic Gold Eau de Parfum 100ml is an opulent unisex oriental fragrance launched in 2019 by the UAE-based Louis Cardin perfume house. Built around a coffee-vanilla axis with a soft white-floral lift, it pairs the warmth of Middle Eastern perfumery with a contemporary, slightly gourmand register. The composition balances richness and wearability, making it a popular evening signature for both men and women.

The story behind Exotic Gold
Exotic Gold was conceived as an opulent, attention-catching evening fragrance — the olfactory equivalent of gold-trimmed velvet and an after-dinner espresso. The coffee opening adds an unexpected, slightly bitter edge, balanced by the soft sweetness of vanilla in the heart and the floral-musk drydown. The flacon takes the recognisable Louis Cardin silhouette in deep gold tones, with brushed-metal cap detailing.
Who it's for
Exotic Gold is genuinely unisex and suits anyone drawn to warm, gourmand-leaning oriental fragrances — wearers of Tom Ford Tobacco Vanille, Yves Saint Laurent Black Opium, or Lattafa Khamrah, who want a more affordable Middle-Eastern alternative. Best in autumn and winter, ideal for evening wear, dinners and special occasions where a memorable scent trail is welcome.
How to wear it
- Spray onto pulse points — wrists, base of the throat, behind the ears — from around 15cm.
- Two sprays are usually plenty given the strong projection of the composition.
- Apply over an unscented body lotion to extend longevity, particularly on dry skin.
