What does Royal English Leather smell like?

It opens with bright mandarin orange and bergamot. Amber in the heart sweetens and softens the scent. In the base, sandalwood and leather come forward, and the leathery, animal and earthy accords join a chypre feel to leave a dry, warm trail.

Longevity and sillage are both rated good. Most voters pick fall and winter, and it leans towards evenings and leisure, though it also works for daily and office wear. Most voters read it as masculine, while some find it feminine.
