Royal Wood vs. Oud Wood
The combination of cardamom, sandalwood, oud, vetiver and tonka bean makes "Royal Wood" very reminiscent of Tom Ford's "Oud Wood". Just like "Oud Wood", "Royal Wood" is right on point after the first spray. As the cardamom is present in the top note here, it is more noticeable than in the OW. I actually prefer the Royal Wood fragrance, which is quite amazing as it is available at a fraction of the price. This was a blind-buy, but the strong similarity to the OW is noticeable from the first second.
The only and rather strong disadvantage here is the performance. The Royal Wood lasts a few hours on my clothes, with a silage disappearing after the first hour at the latest.
Despite the poor performance, I recommend the fragrance because it simply smells so wonderful and is affordable - I got it for €24. If you smelled it blind, you'd think it was a very expensive, luxurious perfume. The Royal Wood pairs wonderfully with a rose fragrance.
