What does Royal Platinum smell like?

It opens sharp and spicy with Persian saffron and chili. The heart brings together Somalian frankincense, Damask rose and leather, where the floral side is overshadowed by a leathery, resinous feel. Oud, benzoin and amber in the base sweeten it and tie it to an oriental warmth.

Voters rate its longevity and sillage as good, though the number of votes is small. With its spicy, smoky and sweet structure it reads masculine. Chopard Black Incense Malaki and Giorgio Armani Armani Privé - Cuir Noir have a close profile.
