Superior in some aspects...
Windsor has always been my #1 fragrance and I remember being mesmerized from the first moment I sniffed it. Nothing has been able to top it. Still to this day, I am blown away by it. As far as Royal Mayfair goes, there are some distinct differences. For starters, the fragrance is overall a brighter, easier to wear, more fresh & vibrant fragrance. Eucalyptus, lime and pine dominantes the fragrance whereas the musky-bold- more complex rose we see in Windsor is well hidden here. In terms of performance, I am already finding that Royal Mayfair is superior to Windsor. Higher sillage and longer lasting top notes (eucalyptus)....with Mayfair yet Windsor packs a punch of more robust citrusy rose, sharp pine accord, and an incredibly crisp (almost minty) eucalyptus right out of the gate....then it begins to tame down at a much faster pace than Mayfair. Spraying the clothing is a must. I find that Windsor is much more camphorous/medicinal...whereas Mayfair is clearly more of a fresh floral eucalyptus. Both are similar yet they are undeniably different. Each is unique in it's own way. An original, refreshing, clean, and very crisp scent. Nothing like it. Longevity and Sillage could be better with both Windsor and Mayfair but I'm not complaining. I just spray a little more to over compensate. I am blown away by how gorgeous this scent is with each wearing. No other fragrance has produced the "wow factor" that I had years and years ago when I first sampled 2009 Windsor. Since then, I've been chasing that similar reaction...many have come close but nothing quite like this. 10/10
