Royal Platinum Charriol for men

I have "Afrah Jeddah", which is not in the database of Fragrantica, CRP is very similar. The luxury of the Orient!

10/10

a really great addition from the house of Charriol. strong, full of character. speaks of masculinity but also authority. very dominating with strong saffron incense and some ouds. this stuff is have good longevity and good projection. a fragrance to make a statement, but will not draws compliments (please note cultural difference. in Western world this could be considered uber-exotic)

while Charriol is underrated house that often accused of plagiarism, I found Charriol Royal Platinum EDP is something really fine. it might not have a near-niche quality like Lalique, but Charriol definitely more than just a match to Lanvin's or Carolina Herrera. there's a quality stuff here, sensually seducing like M7 with strange sensual aura of Oud, shrouded with mist of incense that add a powerful persona and saffron that add exoticism. its quite middle-east way but still be able to be pulled by Westerners. a fragrance that speak luxury and exotic places.

I'm so happy that Fragrantica finally added this gem to Charriol's database.. I wrote to Fragrantica about 3 months ago to add this and had been waiting since.

When I first received a bottle of this, I was surprised how great it actually is, esp coming from the jewelry house of Charriol. Compared to Boucheron, Cartier, Van Cleef & Arpels, Bvlgari; people would normally overlook this easily. But having smelt a bunch of designer frags in the market, I would say that Royal Platinum is actually on par with some of the niche frags out there.

Now, let's get down to the juice...

This is very well blended, using very high quality ingredients. The saffron is just crazy. The incense is one of the strongest incences I have ever smelt, and it's not cloying/suffocating even if you oversprayed it. It only gets richer as you do, gets deeper and more intense; in contrast to some frags which become suffocating/cloying as you overspray it. The oud is very rich, smoky; perfectly intertwined with the rest.

And the best part of it is, it exudes that peaceful, calming effect that you get from incenses; and at the same time, glamorous. Yes, glamorous, thanks to the saffron. Last but not least, it stays like forever on my skin and clothes.

I usually wear this before going to bed, after taking a clean shower. Whether just to watch DVDs or read books, it is always very comforting. It's also suitable for evening events, or just a nice romantic dinner.

The record for this? ... 24 sprays at a time. No kidding.

Love it!
