Royal Copenhagen (Cologne)

Royal Copenhagen · 1970

Fresh · Floral · Green

Royal Copenhagen (Cologne) is a fresh, floral fougère for men that leans towards spring and fall, leisure hours and daytime wear. 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.

Royal Copenhagen Musk (Cologne)

7.1

Royal Copenhagen · 1976

Fresh · Citrus · Floral

Royal Copenhagen Musk is a men's cologne that pairs a fresh, citrusy start with a floral, spicy and powdery texture. Its longevity and sillage are moderate, though the small number of ratings means these figures are tentative. It is labelled a men's fragrance, and its fougère and woody structure follows a classic masculine line. The top notes bring sage, basil and lavender. In the heart, lily of the valley, neroli and jasmine add a soft floral layer. The base of clove, amber, patchouli, musk, nutmeg and oakmoss gives a sweet, spicy and earthy depth, with a faint animal edge running through it. L'Artisan Parfumeur Mûre et Musc and Tom Ford Beau de Jour have a close profile.
