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.

I think my nose is broken 😬 I get harsh cleaner vibes from this scent. I can't even explain it... Soapy, dirty. Maybe it's the oud coming out that is bothering me. I have a hard time with ouds. Hmm... Sorry not too helpful here.

Just got the bottle...CAVEAT! This leans totally feminine, my wife agrees...however, she loves this fragrance, so I gave it to her! I smelled it on her and it really smells great...it's sexy, alluring, classy, elegant, and top-tier! Great scent....very upscale and elegant and smells great on my wife! I am 3 hours into the fragrance and it still smells a bit feminine. Some males may enjoy this to wear....however, I surmise some males may not enjoy this for personal wear! I wanted to really love this based on the reviews...but it's not for me! Update: It's finally mellowing out, the floral notes have kind of faded but still there...the "heart" and "base" notes are really resonating now; however, it's still not for me! This fragrance transforms so seamlessly, if you just wait a few hours the dry down is fabulous! Again, smells great on my wife. I can see a guy pulling this off...this not for casual wear in my opinion. This would be great for formal and business attire. I am more of Roja Dove Scandal or Oligarch type man. Try before you buy! O.G. Scents

Ambergris yet soapy. It's slightly gothic to be specific with some white shades. Roses, tuberose, ambergris, and tiny jasmines. I can sense the roses quite sharply in here and in a slight soapy way and i believe it has something sweet as well but not shown clearly. It's an interesting fragrance with that superb bottle but it's rosy overdose which is too much for me beside it's extreme expensive price.

Its extremely dense, complex and lasts forever. Sweet, balsamic, leathery. I am surprised that there are no fruits in the pyramid. I expected to see them there. Unisex.
