What Is Fragrance World Barakkat Gentle Gold a Dupe Of?

What is Barakkat Gentle Gold a clone of?

Fragrance World Barakkat Gentle Gold is a clone of Maison Francis Kurkdjian Gentle Fluidity Gold EDP. The connection is easy to follow in the note pyramids: both list juniper berries, nutmeg, coriander, vanilla, amberwood and musk. If you've been looking for an alternative to Gentle Fluidity Gold, this is the pairing.

What do they have in common?

Vanilla, amberwood and musk appear in both bases. Juniper berries, nutmeg and coriander fill out the rest of each listed profile, so there's more going on here than two fragrances that happen to contain vanilla.

We'd start with that mix when deciding whether to try Barakkat Gentle Gold. If vanilla with musk, woods and spice sounds more appealing than a straightforward dessert fragrance, the notes give you a useful reason to put it on your sample list.

Are the note pyramids identical?

The names match, but their placement isn't quite the same. Barakkat lists juniper berries at the top, with nutmeg and coriander in the middle. Gentle Fluidity Gold puts juniper berries and nutmeg at the top, followed by coriander. Both finish their lists with vanilla, musk and amberwood.

That small change in placement isn't a stopwatch for when you'll smell each note. It also doesn't establish the balance between vanilla, spice and musk. Two fragrances can share every listed note and still smell different, so we'd use the pyramids to understand the connection and a sample to judge the resemblance.

Make sure it's Gold

The reference is Gentle Fluidity Gold Eau de Parfum. Gentle Fluidity Silver is a separate fragrance. Barakkat Gentle Silver is separate too, so check the full name rather than choosing by the similar packaging. The original's hair perfume and body products also aren't the EDP compared here.

Is Barakkat Gentle Gold worth a look?

We'd consider it if the Gold profile is what you're after, especially that vanilla, amberwood and musk combination. Try both on skin if closeness matters most to you. The retailer cards show the available shopping options; check the size and packaging on each listing before choosing a bottle.
