Western Oud
Once the initial weirdness of putty, hot plastic and dentists surgery have settled down, Oud Royal reveals its true colours. Incense, rose, black liquorice and a sweet powderiness of amber augment the rich phenolic bitter-woody Oud.
It has a nice edgy feel that doesn't become sharp or thin, and a red-brown, hard, slightly oily mahogany texture which is very satisfying.
Once the profile has resolved itself into the core message, it's essentially straight and true, fading to an overtone of incense in around four hours.
Royal Oud is well named; it has a refined air and demands only the most sartorial of outfits. It wouldn't be out of place in the lobby of a grand hotel, but a well fitting shirt and jeans may do just as well.
The high price, linearity, the sometimes synthetic feel and its poor longevity are all issues with Oud Royal, but if you're looking for an agarwood that's easily accessible, this is one to try.
