What does 5th Avenue Royale smell like?

It opens fruity and floral with raspberry liqueur, Italian bergamot and orange blossom. In the heart, Atlas cedar, cypriol, patchouli and Somalian frankincense add a woody, resinous, earthy weight. The base of suede, musk, amber, oud and labdanum dries down oriental and leathery.

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Most voters pick fall and winter, and it is chosen most for nights out and evenings. Most read it as feminine. It has been discontinued. Estēe Lauder Amber Mystique and Khadlaj Oud Noir have a close profile.
