Rouge Royal For Men Princesse Marina De Bourbon for men

hard for me to describe this one.am yet to come across one that is close but there's a heavy dose of spices obviously coming from the cinnamon and cardamom.the initial burst of lavender quickly disappears to leave one with the spices the entire duration of the fragrance.

it's easy to overspray and get choked in the process as the spices dont mellow at all -at least on my skin.yes,you are left with some floral sweetness but am not sure which flowers these are but overall this is a well done fragrance.

Am glad this appears to be an underrated fragrance but I think if it had been made by Serge Lutens using the same ingredients,it will be receiving rave reviews everywhere.Proof you dont need to spend a fortune to enjoy niche-like smells.

It is ideal for cold nights so autumn/fall and winter are simply great for this.Plus it lasts forever on me.Sadly it's hard to find which ironically is good for me.lol.luckily got mine on ebay for a song and simply love it!!

Not a bad fragrance.hard to find and cannot decide whether the bottle looks tacky or expensive.

not offensive but soft and sweet without being in your face.Dont think the under 30's would appreciate this fragrance as its basenotes are very honeyfied but seem quite natural.
Think it is better for Autumn here in the U.K
rather than summer.
I find it does not give me the headache induced by the sweetness of some of the more recent designer offerings such as 1 million and A Men.
Could wear this all the time day or night and it is very subtle but fragrant if that makes sense.
Out of 10 I mark it 8.5.

I would like to know how much thought was put into this one, because I have yet to encounter one that is like it. Yes, you can compare it to Burberry Brit for Men or Gucci Pour Homme II, but it's much softer than either of those, with no "rough edges." What is causing the super powdery opening? The notes listed don't seem to account for that quality. When I was a "newbie," this was too much for me, in that I could not perceive all the great things going on here, but now I can. There is a fruitiness at first, but it's not clear what the fruit is, along with the powder and spices. Then comes the wood note, which is the softest I have ever encountered, furnishing dynamism without harshness (as is so often the case with "masculine" fragrances). And the honey is also not the kind you find in many "masculine" fragrances (usually harsh and with a urine-like quality). Instead, it's soft and rich. Longevity and projection/sillage are at least very good. If you want something with more "bite," however, you can go for the aforementioned, or perhaps Jacomo Rouge.

Lemon, Honey, Cinnamon and some flowers... very beautiful scent.

Ah... a woody-spicy ambery... for sure!
^^

Oh Gosh... it's incredible... what a lovely frag.
Lemon and honey at the top, but soon, the rich composition rise-up.
Floral, yes, but not much at all. It's lavender, honey, cinnamon and a lot of cardamon... pungent cardamon.
At the dry-down, the honey take the scene again, and kick-out the excess of spices, and come the woodsy notes.

Staying the honey and cashmere woody to the base notes... and finish in a pure velvet amber and honey!
Wood spicy... is it!
The best male spicy honey.

Two spritz is enough... in Brazil, oh no, need a lot of caution...
And the staying power... yes, is wonderful!
Love it!
