Royal Gold

I found this gem strolling along a Middle Eastern bazaar. The smell is deliciously decadent, of sweet vanilla with a faint jasmine top note, and balanced out with strong and everlasting amber and musk at the heart of it. Even more shockingly, it was less than five dollars. I truly would recommend this to everyone. From the reviews I've read, the roll-on is longer-lasting and stronger than the perfume version. Personally, I wouldn't use this as a signature scent, but definitely paired with other perfumes, and as a "touch up" scent to have on the go (given its convenient size). I do think Ariana Grande's "Cloud" for a sweet and light scent, or Mugler's "Angel" for a blend of sweet and spicy, would pair nicely with this! If you are looking to order this scent, your best bet is to buy it off their website; it's terribly difficult to find locally if you live in North America. Keep in mind that the shipping might take up to a month or more if you live in North America, and will be pricey, due to shipping costs from Europe, so you're best off buying the roll-ons in bulk.

This is what I wanted Golden Sand from Al Rehab to be. This one IS Golden Sand minus the harsh & masculine notes. Royal Gold is a soft and sugary vanilla that is noticeable but kind of reserved and laid back. I'm surprised at how lovely this is for the price point. It's so affordable, I could buy it on a monthly subscription and I would need to because the longevity is not bad but it's not eternal by a long shot. I tried layering this with Eilish and thought that was a mistake. However, once the 2 dried down, they compliment well and give a lush scent of "Cloud"-like vanilla.

I'm so glad Fragrantica included this line in the database. This is the most delicious sweet vanilla in the world believe me, every time I wear this oil I get a compliment, I gave a bottle to my sister in law and she told me she gets so many compliments that she was going to order some more because she finished her bottle(5ml alcohol free oil). The price of this beautiful oil is so good that I recommend every body to at least try. Big love for me.

As soon as I rolled it on I developed a headache. I suspect the jasmin. Otherwise, perfection in a bottle. I want to bathe in in. The scent strongly reminds me of Casmir by Chopard, which was my signature scent in the nineties. Hope the headache was a coincidence.

balmy vanilla kisses in a musky jasmine oasis, royal gold smoulders out of swinging bejewelled censers. you do not wear it; you are embalmed in it — warm, honeyed, anointing.
