Pure Royal 823

Federico Mahora

Fresh · Floral · Sweet

Federico Mahora Pure Royal 823 is a men's fragrance that sets the freshness of wild lavender and clary sage against the sweet, creamy warmth of vanilla blossom, almond and tonka bean. It opens fresh and spicy with wild lavender and clary sage. The heart of vanilla blossom, almond and iris adds a soft, powdery floral touch, and the base of ambergris, tonka bean, Kashmiri musk and leather settles into a sweet, gourmand, faintly leathery woodiness. Longevity and sillage are both rated good. Most voters pick autumn and winter, with spring not far behind, and it is chosen most for evenings and nights out, then for daily and office wear. It reads mainly masculine, with a modern and classic feel.

Notting Hill

7.4

English Laundry · 2013

Fresh · Citrus · Floral

English Laundry Notting Hill is a men's fragrance with a clean character, where citrus and floral accords sit together in a fresh, bright way. It opens with blackcurrant, lemon and bergamot, with lime backing up that bright citrus base. In the heart, green leaves, lavender and rosemary add an herbal freshness, while geranium, rose and jasmine soften the floral side. The base settles on sandalwood, cedarwood and oakmoss, with tonka bean adding a light sweetness. Longevity and sillage are rated moderate, though the number of votes is small, so these ratings are not conclusive. It is positioned as a men's scent, and its fresh, aquatic build suits everyday wear. Chanel Allure Homme (Eau de Toilette) and Versace Blue Jeans have a close profile.

Oud Bhut Beng

8.5

Jinx · 2025

Woody · Oriental · Creamy

Jinx Oud Bhut Beng is a woody, oriental and creamy men's fragrance built on several kinds of oud alongside cedar, patchouli and amber. Its longevity is rated very strong and its sillage strong, so it stays on skin and carries around you for a long time. It is classed as masculine. It opens with spices, rosewood and hinoki cypress, then moves to geranium, cedar and patchouli in the heart. The base lets Laotian, Thai and Bhutanese oud soften into amber, balsam and vanilla cream, while birch tar adds a darker edge. A dense, creamy woodiness leads throughout. Al Ambra Ambra Nuit and Tiziana Terenzi Oud Mira have a close profile.
