What does Royal Princess Oud smell like?

The top holds rose, Sicilian bergamot and violet, so citrus and flowers come first. The heart brings jasmine, vanilla absolute, patchouli and Florentine iris. In the dry-down, styrax, Siam benzoin, Indian sandalwood and oud give it a resinous, woody footing, with the spicy and fruity accords staying in the background.

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Most voters pick spring, fall and summer, with winter chosen less often. Leisure, daily wear and business get the most votes among occasions. Voters read it mostly as feminine, though some call it masculine. Charriol Royal White and Amouage Homage have a close profile.
