What does Oud Royal smell like?

The notes read as a single whole rather than as separate top, heart and base stages. Rose gives a floral, sweet face, oud adds an earthy, smoky and slightly animalic depth, and white musk softens the spicy oriental character.

Voters rate its longevity as good and its sillage as moderate, so it stays on the skin for a long time without projecting widely. The vote count is small, so this is only a first impression. Its dense, heavy build suits both men and women. Roberto Cavalli Tiger Oud and Cartier Oud & Rose have a close profile.
