What does Royal Paragon smell like?

Its longevity and sillage are both rated good. Most voters pick autumn and winter, and evenings and nights out lead the occasions, though it also works for daily wear.

It opens with aquatic notes, bitter almond and bergamot for a light freshness. The heart brings gaiac wood, rose and mandarin orange. As it dries, oakmoss, coffee, amber and patchouli settle into a creamy, smoky sweetness. Parfums de Marly Layton and Sedra Nero have a close profile.
