Black Rain
Gael looked through the window. It was quiet on the foredeck. The crew was asleep in the hibernator. The control center had opted for deep sleep due to the distance, they said. Desa9X was not far from Earth; it would suffice to lower the body temperature to below 11 degrees for the six-month journey. Only the robots could be heard at the helm. The photon turbines of the heavy star cruiser could almost be felt. It glided silently at nearly the speed of light towards the center of the galaxy in search of its twin ship. There had been no signal or sign of life from the "Chronos" for months.

As Desa9X grew larger on the display, the automatons initiated counter-steering. The spaceship lost speed. A slight vibration could be felt everywhere. The planet now obscured the entire view. The titanium chambers of the engines glowed, and the rumbling thunder was omnipresent. The colossus was about to reach and land on the hidden planet.

Meanwhile, having returned to the console, Gael went back to the window. He stopped halfway. What he saw outside was like rain, only in black. It did not stick to the ship's surface, but it did not slide off either. And it was not droplets, as it did not stretch. It was rigid, and after the windows were almost covered, Gael saw that it looked like metal, like small, moving particles of dark steel. The particles sought each other and connected to form larger structures. Black was probably not the color; it was the absence of black that he was looking at. It was something else, something foreign, something he had never seen before. Later, he would write in the report that he had always suspected this.

Royal Power opens the door to another, unknown (fragrance) civilization. It expands the space with a new dimension waiting to be discovered. Like a black lightning bolt, it starts off peppery-lemony before becoming something greater - of tobacco and musk. Like a demon, proud, black leather-sandal demon, laughing and screaming. Well aware of the astral force of darkness. Thanks to oud, it is hypnotic, warm, and cool at the same time. The fragrance development is completed after a few minutes, after which only projection follows. Longevity and sillage last for about 7-8 hours.

Metal swarms glowed black over the abyss. Gael knew it was a storm. A storm was brewing.

Royal? Yes. Power? Not so much.
Royal Power has a very nice floral character... don’t ask me where that comes from, because there aren’t many floral notes in the pyramid (actually none at all), but to me it smells relatively floral... one of the lighter scents from HFC.

The fragrance thus takes on a very nice elegant quality that in the dry down becomes noticeably deeper, darker, and drier. It truly lives up to the name "Royal".

As for longevity, you get a good 8 hours... as one would expect from HFC... the only downside is that the sillage isn’t really strong...

Feel free to enlighten me in the comments about why I perceive it as so floral...

Fresh-dry-spicy black tea scent with a peppery opening. Plus a lot of sandalwood or ISO-E-Super with a hint of leather.

Could be another Montabaco flanker. Beautiful, spicy cardamom, tea, tobacco, leather. Overall, very balsamic. Great.

Spicy start with cardamom. Fine tea, woods, and tobacco join in. Noble musk and leather complete it. Royal in every way.

Starts zesty with peppery lemon. Harmonious blend of spices, wood, tobacco + leather. Bright + balsamic. Orient for Westerners.

Pre-meeting! Super balance between citrus, floral notes and a very prominent spice with woods and tobacco. Suit in a bottle.

Spicy-peppery lemon with black tea, rather masculine. Great exciting combo! UNFORTUNATELY, a minimal synthetic-piercing note is bothersome, too bad!

Definitely very close to Montabaco Extrême! The DNA is incredibly good and very stylish! The HFC version is softer…
