The Best Wild Berries in the World
In the initial phase - the best wild berries in the world: bright, juicy, beautifully accented by a sweet benzoin base. In the cold, at -7 degrees, the berries remain present for a long time - and that is the best thing that can happen to this fragrance. In the warmth, the berries quickly dissipate and reveal the sweet benzoin base (for me, there is more benzoin here than vanilla) - it lingers for a long time - too bad I'm not a fan.

Warm and Exciting
Simply a very strong evening/winter fragrance.
It is warm and inviting. It reminds me of Tom Ford Black Orchid.
Although vanilla is not listed in the fragrance notes, I could swear I detect a gentle vanilla.
It is extravagant - a woman who wears this scent wants to be seen and smelled!

For this price, an absolute recommendation to buy! :)

Sweet resinous fragrance showcasing benzoin absolute. It's a one-trick pony, but a quality one nonetheless.

As if you smelled benzoin laid on warm wood with a handful of red berries sprinkled on top with some stray vanilla shavings for good measure

It has a soul of some Piguet frags - Oud, Casbah. Spicy, a lot of herbs, spices, and resinous, hot wood. Some incense, lavender and cardamon

In Fort Royal, the wind blows from the land
heavy with spices
ripe oranges and resin pastries
the molasses sloshes thickly
in bright barrels

I've smelled something like this before, but I still like it. Resinous sweet, a hint of orange at the start, and delicate spice as a backdrop.

I generally quite like Le Couvent. Fort Royal is wood harmony at its best. Warm, spicy, pleasant, masculine.

Balsamic and creamy, resinously sweet,
it purrs around like a Siamese cat.
This could easily be from an expensive niche brand.

The night falls. What will it bring? Fort Royal moves between excitement and calm. A wonderful resinous woody scent.

Mystical darkness meets bright herbal spice. Thyme-rose and balsamic-earthy vetiver-patch. Far from "cookie-cutter" - good!!

Starts woody, mysterious. Over time, it becomes warmer, spicier, and sweeter. The best scent in this line from Le Couvent.
