Absolute

I discovered this fragrance by accident. I wish I didn't This is like vintage fragrances. Opulent, thick, strong but it doesn't shout. Tuberose, animalic Jasmine kicks in after spraying. This duo stays there, hovers throughout the persistence of the fragrance. Oud and Amber serve as a foundation and make the fragrance quite dirty and warm. This dirtines is calmed by the tuberose, yet the tuberose play with dirty jasmine and make such a gorgeous mess that you can't get over with. Longevity and sillage just above average with one spray only from a small decanter. Quality is top notch. It's like having a vintage perfume that survived the decades and it's ready for wearing, bringing you back to when perfumes were perfumes, not watered down aromachemicals Update: received the bottle...seal broken, liquid leaking through the cap and the ring around the cap would come off easily....

Outstanding to say the least!! As Roger mentioned above. Price ridiculous but the smell of this fragrance makes one want to find the funds and put it as a priority to buy. Royal Crowns customer service is top notch great communication. I also purchased a bottle of oud al melka yet maybe 1ml or so leaked out in transit. Someone needs to talk with those who actually manufacture and bottle the juice to fix issue. The bottles are to nice to leak when shipped. Maybe something to help seal cap to threads under cap. I'm sure some of the cost is in the bottle design. Not many companies on par with design. Next time I order. I will ask if they could open the box and bottle.. to put plummers tape around threads before shipped

Ok, here is my take on abslotute by Royal Crown. ABSOLUTLE Masterpiece!!! A dapper villain would wear this. This is phantom of the opera in a bottle. The serpent in the garden of eden. Alluring, charming and inviting......worn by the wrong guy to attract the perfect lady....dangerous!!. This scent will project whiffs of memorizing charm in the air. This has Laotian Oud in the notes which is very hard to obtain due to is sparsity in its isolated goegraohic location. I've never been the biggest oud fan but when you use the purest quality of oud and it's blended with the purest coupling counterparts of notes it really showcases. In a nutshell this is sweet, powdery and fresh all at the same time.

Absolutely gorgeous ambery tuberose perfume. Constructed as a woody Oriental Fougere, the perfume has a brief aromatic opening of galbanum, olibanum, coriander, honey and leather. The floral heart is dominated by a heady tuberose surrounded by jasmine, rose, sandalwood, cedar and Laotian Oud. The perfume settles into a dense animalic powdery base of ambergris, surrounded by patchouli, labdanum, vanilla, styrax, benzoin and oakmoss. Unisex with moderate to strong sillage and excellent longevity. This is the stuff of Arabian night’s dreams. Enjoy!

OMG I feel like I just took a bath in laundry detergent. Get this stuff off me. It's like dryer sheets, detergent and air freshener in a blender. Did I get a bad batch? I hope so. Eau de Laundromat.
