Royal Extrait

Potent Peach Powerhouse! It is a fabulous fruity chypre with a boozy vanillic dry-down. The peachy 'compote' gourmand note is not cloyingly sweet, but golden and ambery, and the fir balsam, together with the other florals gives this an indulgent, rich, dense and fabulous aromatic explosion. If you love CHANEL's "Bois des Iles", BOND No.9 "West Side", Roja Dove's "Outspoken", you will find this sits well in there amongst all of them as a fruity chypre. Another peculiar aspect I would like to mention, and perhaps the reason I love this so much, is the warm pleasant plastic note (my friend called it a shoe polish note), that is so glamorously captured here. To me it smells of warm shrink wrap plastic film from a brand new fresh off the press vinyl record. A scent that I truly miss, since there are hardly any brand new vinyls left in this world and the sensation of opening one, is just second to none. Collector's value 10/10. Individuality 10/10. Exclusivity 10/10. Longevity 8.5/10 Overall Scent 9.5/10 NEAR MASTERPIECE!!

In my view the dominant flagrance is iris rather than peach, iris being amplified by vanilla. This is a fantastic frag. Be aware that this was a limited production for Harrod's in London (900 bottles), and that unfortunately it is not available anymore: I vainly tried to get one more bottle recently, but no way.

I am so in love with this. I have a 30ml thanks to another Guerlain lover and now I want a bee falcon. It's very close to Guet- Apens but when I wear them side by side, RE does smell more balsamic whereas GA smells more of oakmoss. Please message me if you have a bottle even if a low partial to swap!

this is just beautiful. it is one of my all time favourites. It reminds me of Elixir Charnel Chypre Fatal but with iris powdery finish. it is heady sweet and i get whiff throughout the day. i am so glad i purchased it and got another as a spare.

I've been told by the SA that this contains sandalwood as well I'm certainly smelling something creamy in there but not sure what it is.. The peach is certainly voluminous and ripe though! Reminded me of Mitsouko, but when i put them on side to side, this one is sweeter while Mitsouko is slightly darker.

Royal Extract or Royal Extrait? I don't know about the one in the picture above, but the second I mention is just one of the many versions of Guet Apens.

Soft pretty lipstick scent of the 80's on me. This was dabbed on by the staff assistant. Very soft sillage. Not me but pretty fragrance.
