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.
