What does Fort Royal smell like?

The top notes are pink pepper and orange, pairing a spicy lift with a fruity freshness. Cistus in the heart adds a resinous depth. In the base, patchouli, benzoin absolute and vanilla take over, and the scent turns sweeter, settling into a creamy, woody warmth.

Longevity is rated good, while sillage stays moderate. Most voters recommend fall and winter, and evening and leisure wear lead the occasions. Votes for feminine and masculine are almost level, which fits its unisex nature. Rochas Moustache (Eau de Parfum) and Carolina Herrera Peccato Nobile have a close profile.
