What does Oud Royal smell like?

Its longevity and sillage are both moderate, so it neither whispers nor fills a room. Voters spread it fairly evenly across daytime, evening, nights out and leisure, and the office is not far behind. It suits men and women alike.

The top notes of pink pepper, lemon and Sicilian bergamot bring freshness and spice. In the heart, cedar, galbanum and angelica make a green, woody transition. In the base, musk, sandalwood and oud carry it into a resinous, oriental warmth. Harry Lehmann HL.22 and Alexandria Fragrances Royalty have a close profile.
