What does Royalty smell like?

The notes read as one whole rather than split into top, heart and base. The woody, resinous side dominates, with oud and cedar adding depth. Citrus fruits and angelica keep it fresh and green, while pink pepper brings spice. Musk and sandalwood leave a sweet, powdery softness.

Longevity and sillage are rated as good; most voters rate longevity high, though the vote count is small. It sits comfortably on both men and women, with an oriental lean. Ministry of Oud Oud Royal and Swiss Arabian Kalimat have a close profile.
