Thick Vanilla Angel on the Musk Cloud

With Musc Sultan from El Nabil, I acquired a wonderful oriental all-rounder months ago. So what could be more natural than to take a closer look at the other scents, which are usually offered as perfume oils.

However, this endeavor is not so straightforward, as the multitude of Musc variations, which often differ only marginally in composition, makes the selection quite challenging. What definitely helps in making a decision is the low price of 3 - 5 € per 5 ml of oil in a small glass bottle with a roller applicator - in no time, nine little surprises ended up in my shopping cart.

My absolute favorite turned out to be Royal Gold, which, according to the ingredient list, contains only musk, amber, and vanilla bean, with the vanilla bean likely being a cross between vanilla pod and tonka bean. Vanilla is the main theme of the fragrance - dense, sweet, almost edible, it dominates Royal Gold; however, in my opinion, it does not become too sweet or cloying, as it receives a slightly bitter support from the tonka bean. Although it is not listed as an ingredient and is merely my interpretation of the mysterious vanilla bean, it is quite noticeable. A well-measured dash of sweet amber harmoniously rounds off the fragrance on a musk base. There is hardly any development of the scent; all ingredients are immediately present. Only at the end does the musk assert itself a bit more strongly, while vanilla and amber slowly bid farewell.

Although the fragrance is only available as a perfume oil, Royal Gold boasts not only very good longevity but also a significant sillage. A small amount applied with the tiny roller lasts an entire day and is well perceived even from a distance.

I can't help it, but every time I wear this fragrance, I envision three well-fed, chubby angels lounging lazily on a fluffy, thick cloud, working on maintaining their love handles with creamy vanilla ice cream, and otherwise letting the dear Lord be a good man. Thus, Royal Gold is not really a scent that accompanies you during any kind of physical activities, but rather one for long autumn and winter evenings on the couch, or for pure dolce far niente whenever one wishes.

Can't quite agree with the vanilla angel on the musk cloud

Just like Cleopatra, I am still searching for "the!" musk fragrance. I had hoped to find my musk among the El Nabil scents. Halima Musc already appealed to me, although I missed the animalistic punch there, and regarding Royal Gold, I must say that while I do smell musk, it is not white musk, not an animalistic musk scent, and certainly not a punchy one from the 80s. It is not naughty, quite sweet and caressing. Somehow, it is not as typically "musk" as, for example, Jovan.

It is of course possible that I am simply too demanding... and expecting too much musk.

I am spoiled by Margaretha Ley, Boudoir, Crizia, Shalimar... fragrances that have character, that develop, that have a journey from the first application.

Royal Gold is really very hard to describe. It smells very sweet, and this sweetness dominates everything. I can't really identify the vanilla note well; it is only subtly present, and I don't smell amber at all, sorry... I know fragrances that are more vanilla-heavy and where the amber is not overpowering.

It has very little character of its own, does not develop, remains the same as at the first application... sweet! It lasts a very long time on my skin. It's at least 6 hours, after which I can still vaguely catch a whiff on my clothing if a drop has strayed there. The sillage does not blow me away. Nothing envelops me (like Kenzo Jungle does... well, that scent is really a matter of taste and not for everyone).

But,... for those who love a sweet, long-lasting perfume oil, Royal Gold by El Nabil is a great choice, as the price is quite acceptable and the oil is worth a test. Especially with oils, they can develop extremely differently on various skin types. Based on my skin and type, I belong more to the southern region, and I like heavy oriental scents. Royal Gold is somewhat of a middle ground; I believe anyone could wear it. It is a very suitable everyday scent that does not disturb others. It seems the vanilla angel on the musk cloud has just flown away from me... what a pity!
