The first time I ordered these, I ordered them expecting the gold ones but I got pink ones. However, it seemed to be the same product so I went ahead and used them and I loved them. When I ran out, I ordered a second box and got the gold ones this time. While the color itself doesn't really matter, they get thrown out in the end either way, these didn't smell as nice as the pink ones. I loved the scent on the pink ones. These also have a bit more of a burn/tingle whereas the pink ones did not. I wish we could just get the pink ones. The gold are disappointing.
