Michael Bublé By Invitation Rose Gold EDP

I first tried By Invitation by Michael Bublé back in 2016 (here) and I was wowed by the design of the bottle which takes on that of a circle. Now we have By Invitation Rose Gold and whilst I was beginning to suspect that my love of Rose Gold things had slowly but surely diminished, the arrival of this bottle has seemingly opened an old wound and I cannot get enough of it.

Admittedly, 'Celebrity Fragrances' is not really my thing, I have a host of favourite fragrances which I would purchase and repurchase and never would I have expected to add this one to my list, but as ever, you should never judge a book by its cover, or in this case the fragrance by the celebrity.

Having recently launched Pour Homme (here), Michael Bublé is back with a new version, of By Invitation called By Invitation Rose Gold and as you might expect it is just as luxurious as the original only this one is more of a Spring/Summer fragrance than the original and it is also much more glamorous in my opinion. Sitting within the Floriantel family, By Invitation Rose Gold is described as being a Floral Oriental Gourmand and it has some really sophisticated notes which run throughout.

Rose Gold opens with the top notes of magnolia, red fruits and Granit pear which is just beautiful, quite floral but with a hint of fruitiness to is. As it begins to settle the middle notes of Rose and Peony Heart alongside Black Plum are for me, what makes this scent and if anything could be made of these three notes alone, it would be incredibly special. The final notes, the base notes are of a lingering praline and vanilla base and just a touch of precious spice. These base notes give the scent a little bit of a twist and takes a hold of the florals and grounds them completely, taking you on quite a scented journey.

As a fragrance, it is one I would always love owing to the notes and the style of the bottle would always capture your attention, it almost commands it. Despite being on trend with the rose gold detailing, this bottle differs slightly to the original in that it had a gold bar running through the fragrance and it looked as though it more suspended in a gold casing. Rose Gold has no such gold bar within the bottle, only the fragrance tube is clearly visible. I am still not sure whether I prefer this or not. 

A perfect scent for Spring and Summer, a 30ml of By Invitation Rose Gold retails for £29 and a 100ml bottle is £55 right here.
