Skin Scent
This is a joint review of Royale X and Royale XXX which I tested on subsequent days.

For performance, they both have excellent longevity however projection and sillage is intimate unless you vastly overspray. In that case, the projection lasts about an hour and then they are back to basically strong skin scents.

Once both fragrances settle, which doesn't take long, they can both be described as a musky male body scent. I did not detect any BO armpit smell. The difference between X and XXX is that XXX adds a very subtle fruity/floral accord. For me, I liked X better. It's a pretty versatile scent but not good enough for me to immediately order a bottle. I'll add X to my "maybe buy in the future" list. Because it's mainly a second skin scent, I doubt it would have much utility in layering. It would have been interesting to use it as a base to make a top layer fragrance more masculine. Sadly, I think it's too weak for that. Since I liked X better, I won't be bothering with XXX. On second though, won't be getting either. Just too weak.

A classic-meets-modern blend with a spicier, slightly more animalic/dirty twist
Signature Royale X is nominally a flanker of the flanker, Signature Royale, from 2020, but smell-wise, quite distinct, at least to me, a bit spicier, with, as advertised, a sort of animalic/dirty component, not invasively but rather harmonious with a good sort of semi-fresh/floral, spicy, woody center. Key notes for me are the lavender, citruses, juniper, woods, patchouli, and oud. After a little drying down it ends up being, well, dry—still lively, but with the spices in sober harmony with one another. I don’t get the pimento berry (as I don’t know what the berry smells like) but in my mind, it bridges the gap from the spiky juniper to the spicier cardamom/patchouli/leather/oud aspects.

Overall, this is really nice, and like the original Signature and Signature Noir before it has major “men’s signature scent vibes” while being modern and versatile enough to not be purely nor stereotypically masculine. And it’s notably less sweet and powder than Signature and Signature Noir, and might appeal more so to those who want something a little less modern than the aforementioned. Signature and Signature feels more like the 2010s and pre-1990s, whereas Signature Royale X feels like the 1990s and 2000s—those are my scent memories and connections, and yours might very well differ. Regardless, I’d certainly suggest sampling Signature Royale X, as with the rest of the house, of course, with its rich and deep variety.

In extrait/parfum concentration at 27%, it’s a higher concentration than its EDP predecessors but I don’t find it markedly different on my skin from the others, which have pretty much all been high-performing.

Wonderful Duplicity
A fragrance that wants to reproduce a contradiction: that of the clean with that of the animalic.
And it succeeds perfectly, it has a clean, fresh opening, but with something primordial and sensual in the underlying, beautiful, in its apparent particular simplicity and always with that background elegance.
The image it wants to give us is that of an amorous rendezvous after getting out of the shower, an image it portrays perfectly.
Fresh, intriguing, very pleasant, a must try.

A wonderful fresh fragrance
When I applied Signature Royale X, I was immediately impressed. This is a wonderful freshie with a strong hold on my skin of around 12 hours. The sillage is also convincing.

The top note starts fresh, maritime, spicy, floral and citrusy. I recognize lavender, bergamot, cardamom and allspice. In the heart note, the fragrance becomes a beautiful fougère thanks to geranium and some oakmoss. It also has a slightly resinous scent of cedar and juniper. The base smells woody and balsamic like sandalwood but also sweetish like musk, benzoin and amber. Patchouli and vetiver also resonate here.

This is a great fougère with beautiful shower gel vibes. Once again, I would like to thank Nick for the many bottlings.

Be the best version of yourself.
My first review goes to this perfume. I don't want to dedicate it to anyone else. Why ? I don't think any perfume has ever managed to remind me of the past. Until this one came along.

Via Youtuber, reading about the fragrance composition here and finally ordering a sample. The content couldn't have been better. It contains everything I like/love. But what does that mean, every ingredient can ultimately be processed or mixed as desired and an infinite number of different compositions can be created from it.

After applying it, I immediately felt special, particularly good to be precise. As if an aura surrounded me and simply lifted me up without me having to hold on.

It took me back a good 20 years and reminded me of the smell of a relative. An uncle I mean, but I can't put my finger on it. It was just eerily familiar. As familiar and safe as you want to feel when you're 14-17 years old. And who can say for sure that you were bubbling over with self-confidence at that age, flawlessly?
In the here and now, this fragrance ensures absolute well-being, self-confidence and somehow infallibility. As if you were the best version of yourself, no matter what.

About the scent itself. If you like the idea of a fougère but don't want to smell old, if your partner wants to say that you smell good and like you've just showered, but you also want to be taken seriously at a meeting. Then this is the ticket.

For some, perhaps for the price, absolutely nothing special. For me it hits the trigger point. Wouldn't want to change anything 10/10

I liked it at first, but one year later, it kind of smells like body odor.
