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.

OUD with a tender Soul!
MASTERPIECE!

Gosh.I can tell I have tried a lot of parfum in my young life of 30 now. Also I worked in a sensory lab for a short time and my nose is mostly very sensitive to some smells and odors.
Seeking again and again for a Winterfragrance like every year I found this Masterpiece. Oud is trendy today I know...so I tried 7 different Niche Oud Parfums on the market and only Tom Fords Oud Wood I kinda liked soso until I found OUD royal in Hamburg for 210 € after i read some raving reviews. I fell in love with the sample and in Berlin I had the chance to grap it for 190€ again but I still waited cause I am a broke student right now and bought Molton Brown ROGART before(fantastic,rarely composition of a fresh wood Scent). In Amsterdam for 150€ I got crazy and paid for it after all. Even tho I own a lot of Niche parfums and always push me back buying more I couldnt resist. For everyone who likes it woody and warm this is the scent to go, iI get the OUD, Amber and less Incense, stays quite long on clothes. On my skin it is getting sweeter. My top No.1 after 5 years of seeking. Highly recommend to all OUD Lovers out there. I think it is the best in its Category. Armani please dont let this discontinue! BRAVO!

Oud Rose Royal
The quality of this elixir is superb, both scently and materially. A fragrance of clear oriental inspiration, forceful and exquisite.

From the beginning you can perceive the rose and the oud, with some saffron and even a small smoky hue, very elegant. This beginning is very woody, spicy, a balsamic tad, and somewhat smoky, with a velvety rose, beautifully sprinkled with sensuality and elegance. The rose is extremely well fused to the other notes, and does not feel as blunt as in other perfumes based on this threshed mixture of oud-rose. Then the rose and saffron begin to falter, and the aroma begins to take shades of sandalwood and amber, feeling the creamy aroma, warm and sweet, rejoicing very well to oud and incense, which provide the final tandem to recreate a beautiful aroma of creamy, spicy, resinous, smoked, sweet and warm wood that makes mouth watering to lovers of this type of perfume, truly a perfume that exudes exclusivity and luxury.

Its longevity is quite good, in my case it has lasted about 9 hours, with a moderate projection from the beginning, although the first hour was somewhat more remarkable, anyway, it is not bad performance. It is a nocturnal fragrance for cool and temperate times, although in an event, special or formal, daytime, it would not clash at all.

The aroma looks something like Incense Oud by Kilian.

Leather & Oud
I sniffed this before looking at the notes and what I got was straightforward: leather and oud, and a nice one. Now that I've seen the notes, yes, I can twist my brain around to smell musky saffron, rose, incense definitely and amber, but put them together and they're a gorgeous leather, mixed with oud. Bottom line--if you like leather and you like oud, this won't disappoint. Hubby sure likes it. Me, too.

Delicated oud for oud lovers
After acquintaince with armani prive by Myrrhe Imperial I was so enthusiast to test the Royal Oud because of its name which term"royal"stimulated my curiosity then highly praised description about it and it said to be that its the best from the line .
Soon After finding it which is hard to find in my country hence it is a blind buy , I found out the appriciations toward it,is not nonsense .
Its completely a class and pure quality to it that its expected from the Prive line according to other art works of it.
It is incensy and smooth .It is dark and gentle as well. Smocky saffron and creamy sandalwood on non skanky and in your face oud while rose enlighten it with slight touches.
It is one of the high quality oud scents and very well balanced that no notes overcome the others.
Masterpiece .

A rather dry, yet smoky oriental-woody Winter fragrance, with a pronounced spicy-earthy opening. Nice Incense-Oud combo! Very masculine.

Soft woods, slight amber, and incense. I constantly find myself returning to this. Just so dark and addictive.

burying roses under spicy smoke

Almost eight years ago, a thunderclap; today it's middle of the Oud-Saffron-Rose scents, but the clever balance still impresses!

Saffron and oud, this time done right: dry-soft Orient meets British understatement. A spicy-woody smoky wizard of high rank!

Powerful rose-oud scent with a pleasant saffron note: Oriental strength meets Italian elegance in rich dark fragrance tones.
