What does Royal Affair smell like?

It opens with bergamot, cardamom and citrus notes for a bright start. Woods, amber and cinnamon take the heart, and caramel, vanilla and cedarwood dry down into a creamy sweetness.

Longevity is good and sillage moderate. Most voters pick fall and winter, and it leans towards evenings and nights out. Votes split between masculine and feminine, so it reads as truly unisex. Xerjoff Starlight and Lattafa Mughal Fort have a close profile.
