What does Roi d'Orient smell like?
Arabian amber leads at the top, white pepper adds spice in the heart, and musk softens everything at the base. The overall impression is sweet and oriental, with powdery, creamy and resinous touches that give it a warm, dense texture.
Voters find its longevity and sillage good. Most pick fall and winter, with summer the least chosen season. It sits most comfortably in the evening and on nights out, though leisure and daily wear also have a place. It reads masculine. Narciso Rodriguez Santal Musc and Rituals Oriental Essence - Victoire d'Ambre have a close profile.
