What does The One Royal Night smell like?

Most voters pick fall and winter, with spring well behind. It is chosen mainly for evenings and nights out, and less often for the office or daily wear. Longevity and sillage are rated good, and its character reads mostly masculine and classic.

It opens with cardamom and basil giving a spicy start, and nutmeg and wild pear wood soften it at the heart. As it dries, sandalwood, labdanum, amber and cedar take over, leaving a sweet, creamy, resinous and slightly smoky woody-oriental scent.
