The style of Royal
The strongest accord is white floral (35%), followed by leather and floral. You will probably like it if you enjoy white floral and leather smells and notes like benzoin and leather. Less obvious notes include iris, labdanum and sandalwood. Perfume fans rate it 3.81 out of 5.
Longevity on skin
It lasts a medium time, about 3 to 6 hours on skin. As an Eau de Parfum, it has more perfume oil than an Eau de Toilette, which helps it last. Initio Parfums Prives Absolute Aphrodisiac and Nino Cerruti 1881 last longer, if that matters to you. Base notes like leather and musk are the part that stays longest on the skin.
