The Rose Gold scent opens with saffron and jasmine and settles into amberwood, resin and cedar. It's rated 2 out of 5 for strength, so it reads as a soft, warm glow in a room rather than a fragrance that announces itself.
It's a good place to start for bedrooms, and for anyone who finds strong diffusers too much.
Rose Gold at a glance
- Notes: saffron, jasmine, amberwood, ambergris, fig, resin, cedar
- Strength: 2 out of 5
- Character: warm, lightly spiced, a little smoky
- Best for: bedrooms, dressing rooms, evenings
How does it unfold?
Saffron comes through first, with a dry, almost leathery warmth. Jasmine sits right beside it and lifts it. Neither note is sweet.
In the heart, amberwood and ambergris add a smooth, faintly salty warmth. Then the base: ripe fig, smoky resin and cedar. The fig here is darker than the green fig in Fig Tree, closer to dried fruit on a cheese board. Resin gives the finish a soft smokiness you'll notice most in the evening, once the house has gone quiet.
What does 2 out of 5 mean in a room?
Rose Gold is easy to notice near the diffuser and fades as you move away. You won't smell it from the front door, and that's deliberate.
That makes it a good choice for:
- Bedrooms and dressing rooms: close quarters where a strong scent would crowd you
- Apartments: smaller footprints where one room's scent drifts into the next
- Layering: a quieter second scent in a home already running a bolder one
Want more reach in a bigger room? Use every reed in the Rose Gold reed diffuser (200ml) and flip them weekly, or switch to an electric diffuser and raise the intensity to radiant in the kirri app.
Which seasons suit it?
Saffron, resin and amber lean towards the cooler months. Rose Gold comes into its own from April to August, when the windows are shut and a warm scent hangs around longer. In summer it still suits an air-conditioned bedroom, though you may prefer something fresher for living areas.
Where can I buy Rose Gold?
Rose Gold comes in every home format kirri makes:
- Reed diffusers: 200ml (typically 1 to 6 months) and 100ml (1 to 3 months), with the 500ml traditional refill and the 100ml traditional refill for the wood diffuser
- Electric diffuser oils: Micro Oil (15ml) for the Micro and Element; Macro Oil (30ml) and Aura Oil (100ml) for the Beacon and Pillar
- Sprays: the 50ml room spray and a 10ml travel spray
- Candles: 220g and 400g
For evenings, the candle is where Rose Gold shines. The 220g suits a bedside or bathroom, while the 400g is better for a living room or a long dinner.
Keep traditional refills for reed and wood diffusers. Their perfumer's alcohol damages electric diffusers, which only take kirri Micro, Macro or Aura Oil.

Rose Gold FAQ
Does Rose Gold smell like roses?
No. There's no rose note. The warmth comes from saffron, amberwood and resin, and jasmine is the only floral.
Is Rose Gold the same as Baccarat?
Yes. It's the same oil under its new name.
Is Rose Gold strong enough for a living room?
In a small to medium living room, yes, with all the reeds in. For a large open-plan space, a Beacon diffuser with Rose Gold Aura Oil gives it more reach.
