What does Royal Water smell like?

The top is a bright citrus opening of mandarin orange, lemon, bergamot and vervain. In the heart, pepper, basil and cumin add a green, spicy edge, while Tonkin musk and ambergris soften the base. The overall impression is fresh, floral and lightly woody.

Longevity and sillage are moderate. Most voters pick summer and spring, and leisure, daily wear and the office lead the occasions. Most voters read it as masculine, though it remains unisex. Creed Erolfa and Creed Green Irish Tweed have a close profile.
