OrientalWhat does Le Parfum Royal smell like?
Mandarin orange opens it fresh and fruity. The heart is a floral blend of Turkish rose absolute, Bulgarian rose and Lebanese neroli. The base of patchouli, vanilla, Indian sandalwood and amber adds a sweet, woody, earthy warmth.
Longevity and sillage are both rated strong. Most voters pick fall and winter, with spring in second place after them. It leans towards evenings and nights out, and most voters read it as feminine.
