Royal Oak I

Straight out of the box this smells fantastic and high quality! Great summer fragrance. Definitely very similar to Torino21 and Platine Blanc. For me, Platine Blanc had something cloying and unpleasant (I think whatever they used for the rosemary). This is a great fresh spicy scent dominated by crisp and clean mint and citrus notes. The violet comes across bright and adds a little bit of a powdery-ness. I usually don't like powdery but it's subtle enough that I don't mind it here. The base comes across as having high quality ingredients too. A smooth, creamy sandalwood with tonka and a hint of leather brings it all together. Only complaint is that it doesn't seem to project much but it is very long lasting. I like the box and bottle presentation. 8.5/10 One more positive: great atomizer :)
