What does Royal Bourbon smell like?

Its longevity is rated strong and its sillage good. Most voters pick autumn and winter, though spring is not far behind. It suits evenings and nights out best. On character, feminine and masculine votes sit close together, so it wears comfortably on either.

It opens with pepper, liquorice, ginger and cinnamon, spicy and lightly sweet. Toward the heart, tobacco, leather, caramel and rum come forward and the scent turns gourmand and smoky. Vanilla, amber, cedarwood and benzoin soften it at the base, drying down woody and oriental. Tom Ford Tobacco Vanille and Zara TOB/03 Tabac-Treasure have a close profile.
