I recently discovered the amazing Rituals fragrances and was immediately thrilled, although Roi d´Orient represents the absolute pinnacle of the series for me.
I would even go so far as to claim that this might be the best oriental scent I have encountered so far. Noble, sensual, mysterious, a fragrance that not only has "Orient" written on it but truly embodies it.
The already mentioned, quite strong similarity to Dior Homme Intense cannot be denied, although without the annoying iris that is absent in RdO; furthermore, this one is significantly spicier, more finely balanced, and (in my opinion) much more wearable. Longevity and projection are also absolutely satisfactory.
Really great to have discovered a true gem in today's perfume world, which is cluttered with relentlessly overhyped 08/15 scents.
