OrientalWhat does Royal Copenhagen (Cologne) smell like?
Its longevity and sillage are moderate. Most voters pick spring, then fall, and it is worn mainly for leisure and daily use, with some room for evenings and business settings.
The top opens with aldehydes, lime, bergamot and lavender for freshness. In the heart, jasmine, orris root, vetiver and rose form a floral core. In the base, tonka bean, amber and vanilla bring sweetness, softened by oakmoss and musk into a woody, powdery finish. Stetson Original and Jean Patou Sublime have a close profile.
