What does Cologne Royale smell like?

The top notes of neroli, lemon and bergamot open bright and citrusy, and mint in the heart adds a cool, green edge. Sandalwood and musk in the base settle it onto a soft, lightly woody and floral ground, with the spicy touch staying in the background.

Longevity is moderate and sillage weak, so it stays close to the skin. Most voters pick summer and spring, and leisure, daily wear and the office come up most often. Votes for masculine and feminine are close. It has been discontinued. Nicolaï L'Eau cHic and Chanel Eau de Cologne have a close profile.
