What does Royal Sapphire smell like?

Longevity is rated strong and sillage good. Most voters pick spring and autumn, with summer close behind. It is worn most in the evening, for leisure and on nights out. Masculine and feminine votes sit close together, so it moves easily between the two.

Mandarin orange and bergamot give a fresh, fruity start. Jasmine and orange blossom then form a floral, creamy heart. In the base, ambergris, amber, patchouli, moss and dry woods ground the sweetness in a woody, lightly spicy dry-down.
