Royal Crown Khan
Royal crown Khan dark,mysterious and sexy would be the only 3 words needed to describe this fragrance…Khan is a pretty complicated fragrance to explain and make you understand how it opens up and dries down I mean usualy its a ride where you can easily describe what note does what and when but with Khan its like you are getting everything at once in one singular hard to explain scentprofile and if you look the notes up thinking to yourself to know what to expect you would be wrong because the way the different type of woods along with a dash of oud are blended and combined with this earthy and bittersweet mixture of patchouli and saffron is so extreem smooth and refind it hits your sensen in one singular wave I also pick up this almost fruity gourmand like nuance but not the fresh fruity kind but more like this dried fruity type of embrase holding everything together…a dark,sexy and mysterious wave crashing upon those that catch a whiff of Khan….perfect black suit (or dress) type of fragrance.

Khagan
Genghis Khan was undoubtedly one of the greatest and most feared conquerors in history. He was the founder of the Mongol Empire and conquered vast parts of Central Asia and Northern China. He was elevated to Khagan and thus ruled over all Mongolian tribes and peoples. He was a warrior through and through and took whatever he desired without scruples. His warriors and armies were feared, and his name was spoken with reverence, fear, and admiration. He was an emperor as one would expect. Royal Crown has created a monument with Khan of this era. Khan takes you into his magnificently decorated tent, on his raids, and into his sleeping chamber. To where conquests surely also took place!

Khan
If Khan were a musical instrument, it would be a deep, dark drum. Similar to a calm, warm heartbeat and timbre. If Khan were metal, it would be shimmering gold and matte bronze. His elements would be fire and earth. And if Khan were a color, it would be oxblood red, dark brown, and the deepest, glossy black. Khan is like heavy armor or protection. Difficult to penetrate and see through. One feels they can never reach his core and innermost self. Deep, mysterious, and enticingly sweet darkness surrounds him like the Mongolian tundra at night. He begins his conquest with notes of bitter saffron and spicy-sour cardamom. A fine sweetness sneaks in like an army. Dried fruits, individually unrecognizable, protect the flanks and gradually touch upon the gourmand. Bows of bitter-sweet guaiac wood are drawn and equipped with arrows of creamy, milky-warm sandalwood. Flags are waved, spreading the scent of earthy-warm and chocolatey patchouli across the battlefield. Whips of the finest braided calf leather are swung, and creamy-soft sabers and lances made of the most precious golden Borneo oud are drawn. The warm and protective furs are smeared with precious resins, and over the victorious battle hovers the scent of mystical smoke and war songs.
Duty and devotion are the result!

Conclusion
Serge Lutens also addressed the theme of the Mongols years ago with Muscs Koublaï Khän. By the way, I love this variation very much! But where Muscs Koublaï Khän presents animalic musk, Khan is quite different. Khan is a gourmand oriental. He is powerful, dense, and very richly laden and equipped. What the magnificent bottle promises is ruthlessly fulfilled. Khan has evoked many familiar perfumes in my senses during the conquest. Khan has the timbre and aura of an amber star from Xerjoff. The spicy-smoky sweetness of an Interlude from Amouage. And the animalic-resinous eroticism of all three Parfum de la Nuit from Roja Dove. He contains the most precious, milky sandalwood, delicately creamy and smooth Borneo oud, and earthy-warm, almost chocolatey patchouli. But he also harbors other notes and accords under his heavy armor that do not seem to be listed. Like filigree incense and soft, supple leather as well as waxy resins from benzoin, labdanum, and tolu balsam. And even traces of cocoa and possibly rum. Khan is a very seductive, sensually warm, and almost hypnotic perfume. One can hardly escape his erotic aura. But perhaps one does not want to or cannot? The price one has to pay for Khan is high. But the quality speaks for itself. One must simply say it! I personally struggled for a very, very long time with myself and the perfume. But I ultimately lost the battle and surrendered. One should never challenge a Khagan.

You can only lose,... on all levels and positions!

The human eye sees far, the human understanding sees further!

I'm getting some black licorice here. Haven't seen this mentioned by anyone else, so maybe I'm hallucinating

Warm and dense spices, with light fruity aspects combined with a velvety woody base

Sweet open, dries mildly smoky w/ some mechanical vibes. Reminds me of the gunpowder vibe of Xerjoff's Don with 20% of Sultan's sweetness.

Patch dominates, Oud makes it just bearable, there's a faint floral note behind it, and then it becomes creamier. Quite decent.

Compared to some other creations of this kind (oud, wood, saffron, patch), this one is well done, but just not my style.

Delicate yet assertive. Oriental incense, honey oud; zesty & ashtray > softly floral, enticing animalic. Woody-leathery-waxy.

Soft sweet oud with a prominent rosewood note. Reminds me strongly of "Khashab Al-Oud | Abdul Samad Al Qurashi / عبدالصمد القرشي"
