Royall Spyce Royall Fragrances for men

I think the above review must be for Royall's Lime scent, also excellent. But I have Royall Spyce, like the one shown in the picture above, except mine has a spray nozzle. It is a refreshing, reviving yet light spice cologne, very close to what I've been looking for- an affordable carnation cologne. It is along the lines of Floris Malmaison but less musky-floral. The cloves are out in front on this one; the nutmeg and pepper are supporting players. I think it suites men and women equally well; it has tonic properties and never fails to life my spirits.

I first encountered this classic on a trip to Bermuda when I was in college. I bought it to remind me of the island, with its glorious pink sand beaches, the snappy navy and white-clad policemen, the scent of refreshing drinks on the terrace of a hotel overlooking the ocean. And those drinks were always filled with gorgeous wedges of juicy lime.

Over the years, it has remained a steady favorite, and I have never been without a bottle so that I can splash it on liberally after a shower. It is definitely a scent that can be worn to the office, to relax in on a weekend, or to celebrate a vacation.

The note - quite simply, a true lime, edged about with a boozy opening note that ultimately dries down into a very alluring and clean lime-musk sillage. Whenever I wear it to work, I get compliments, and people always want to know what I'm wearing. It is never overpowering, always refreshing and completely suitable for men and women.
It's a true classic!
