What does Royal Blend smell like?

It lasts strongly and projects well. Most voters pick winter and fall, and evening and night out are the occasions it suits best. More voters read it as masculine, though a fair share find it feminine.

It opens with cognac, cinnamon and plum, which give a fruity sweetness and a touch of spice. In the heart, iris and myrrh soften that sweetness. It dries down to a creamy, woody, gourmand base of tonka bean, vanilla and sandalwood. Orientica Old Fashioned and Kilian Angels' Share (Eau de Parfum) have a close profile.
