Les Absolus d'Orient Santal Royal Collector

This is a lot like the first Santal Royal but the rose is almost gone. For some noses, this will mean less of the chemical oud fragrances some complained about. For others, it just means a less rich aroma. On my skin, this lasts a lot longer than the original Santal Royal and there's more cinnamon in it.

Saw it at the airport in Dubai. It's Santal Royal perfume just in a golden, limited bottle.

Pleasant soft ambery, but very sweet. Turns powdery and even sweeter with time.

I'm far from an expert, nor have a sensitive enough nose to pick out all the scents I've seen reviewers mention. But I swear when I first spray it something like dill or something hits me. It does dry down kind of powdery (almost effeminate), but just the initial spray. I didn't see anyone mention it (or maybe I have dill confused with something else?) so I was just curious. Have a few Ouds and Middle-Eastern, etc., scents in my collection but never noticed this before?

I hope Guerlain isn't planning to do what certain brands are doing out there? They launch a cologne and begin to release different iterations. We are okay with the multiple names of Habit Rouge. But we wouldn't want: Santal Royal Nuit Santal Royal Sport Santal Royal Extreme Santal Royal Summer Santal Royal Bleu Santal Royal Rouge Santal Royal Noire Santal Royal Oud Edition Santal Royal Amber Edition Santal Royal Saffron Edition Monsieur Wasser, please not with Santal Royal. Please! Thanks!
