Under the Spell of the Mystical!

As a fan of Creed's Royal Oud, I had to try this!

Wow…what an elegant gentleman's scent! Slightly sweet, yet spicy and woody. The first fragrance in a long time where I can truly pick out all the listed ingredients. A very successful composition, if it weren't for the one really major drawback: the longevity and sillage! The scent becomes so close to the skin after a maximum of 30 minutes that it’s hardly perceptible. I don't even want to talk about projection into the surrounding area…nothing reaches out.

Still, I will keep my 100ml bottle and apply it generously next time, just to see if that might help…or perhaps layer it with Iso E Super (Molecule 01).

Conclusion: successful fragrance composition with significant longevity/sillage weakness for men aged 40+.

Did you ever try layering it with Iso E Super?

Da hast du wohl Recht Chizza! Ich meinte auch mehr die allgemeine holzige Richtung, besonders im Drydown.

Aber mit Royal Oud hat er nicht viel gemein, oder wie empfindest du das? Für mich wirkt er irgendwie süßlich würziger.
