Description
Royal Oud inherits its name from the oils which were favoured by royalty many centuries ago. Royal Oud exudes power, prestige and sensuality. Royal Oud makes a commanding entrance. From the refined suede top note, we are introduced to a remarkable blend.
The opening of Royal Oud is sensational. Notes of black and pink peppercorns are scattered amongst the finest raw incense; elemi, frankincense and myrrh. This fiery quintet is cooled by the aromatic and uplifting tones of mastic resin, angelica galbanum and juniper oil, helping to solidify this statement opening. Citrus oils add freshness to this piquant blend, elegant and floral bergamot is contrasted with the cutting power of lemon oil. The opening of Royal Oud shifts between the daring and the compelling.
At the heart of Royal Oud we find a union of floral notes; a duo of exquisite roses flow amid the delicate tendrils of Tuberose and Orchid possessing both power and sensuality.
Royal Oud displays many wonderful elements throughout its journey. In our opinion the real joy is found within the base notes of Royal Oud. We find a foundation of opulent textures. Velvet slithers of guaiacwood amidst smouldering and dangerous birch wood. There is intrigue too, styrax resin, castoreum and musks resonate with oud oil producing a pleasing sweet-leather harmony which melds with the skin. This supple suede effect is dusted with tobacco leaf and vanilla. Noble woods of sandal and cedar leave us with a lasting impression.
This masterpiece is utter perfection, the epitome of refinement and harmony.
An arresting opening. Refined leather and suede notes, emerald-like green aromatic notes and very beautiful spice, incense complex.
Shifts effortlessly from powerful top notes into prestigious flower oil heart notes. Orchid and tuberose add mystique and androgyny, Royal Oud feel more masculine in tone with just the right level of choice flowers to make this accessible for most women.
The base notes are where we find the real beauty, where the oud oil really starts to sing! The balance between the oud oil and supplementary wood notes is superb. In short, the other wood elements support without overshadowing the beauty of this oud oil.
Royal Oud possesses an intense ‘silver’ note which we associated with the finest oud oils. We may even say this ‘silver’ note found here can be likened more to gold or emerald.
