Royal courage!
After the fragrance is described here at Parfumo as Royal Oud Dupe, I had to have it. Not so easy... I have nowhere found at the usual suspects perfumeries, so directly ordered from the manufacturer.
Royal Oud belongs next to Cedar N' Pepper for me to my absolute favorite fragrances. That just for the info...
Great was the expectation, but also with a healthy skepticism, whether it actually creates another company to cover this great Creed fragrance halfway reasonable.
Already at the first spray I knew it: operation succeeded! The combination of pink pepper and cedar is unmistakable, even if the lemon shines through here a little stronger than in the original. Of the oud, just as with Royal Oud, almost nothing is recognizable, but is also not missed. Angelica and sandalwood do the rest to it and ready is a beautiful overall composition.
Is there any difference at all? Yes, even if only a small one. While in the original the individual substances interweave more with each other and represent an elegant unit, it is here the individual notes that you can perceive better and the whole does not seem quite as deep and noble as in the original. The H/S is also not quite as with the Creed, at least not as far as my 2016 batch is concerned, but definitely in the green zone.
Who Royal Oud is too expensive, but basically like the fragrance, can access here for a quarter of the price blindly!
