What does Emerald Royals smell like?

Longevity and sillage are both rated good, though the sample is small, and it is aimed at men.

Tonka bean brings a creamy sweetness that leads, with nutmeg adding spice. Frankincense and myrrh settle it onto a resinous, woody and slightly smoky base. It carries a gourmand, oriental warmth. Amouage Vanilla Barka and Ex Nihilo Atlas Fever have a close profile.
