Royal Mystery

WHIPPED PEAR & FREESIA CHYPRE. Opening with a burst of pear & melon that deepens into a velvety rose & pear heart, all resting on a chypre base that's so fluffy you could swear there is marshmallow in it. The base is composed of musk, amber, patchouli & rhubarb that combine to give a fluffy chypre vibe., while the rhubarb here, to my nose, is fainter than the notes would suggest. A nice cross between English Pear & Freesia Jo Malone and Armani Si, but closer to Armani Si. Contrast to Jo Malone English Pear & Freesia: These are different, but there are some striking similarities in the profile with pear & freesia and in the notes overall. Royal Mystery has a much bolder approach and outperforms. Contrast to Armani Si: These are different but have a similar vibe with a rosy heart on a fluffy chypre. Si is a little more vanilla forward and a little sharper in the top notes while the whipped quality is more forward in Royal Mystery. RM doesn't have the perfume-y vibe present in Armani Si. Contrast to Delina Parfums de Marly: These are different, but there is a similar vibe. Delina has a rhubarb that's more forward and doesn't read as chypre to my nose. Contrast to Dazzle Al Haramain: These are different, but there are some striking similarities wih a rosy heart on a fluffy chypre base. Dazzle has some more forward herbal qualities in the opening and a more forward patchouli, but as it dries down, it becomes more and more similar to Royal Mystery. Both have excellent performance. Contrast to Irresistible EDP Givenchy: Very different but there are some similarities in the openings with pear. The drydowns go in different direction with RM becoming a rosy fluffy chypre, and Irresistible becoming a pear-amber scent. Overall: powerhouse performance and a beautiful scent profile, this beauty is FB worthy. It's a love for me. 10/10. Enjoy!

Mine is 2 years old now and I finally realized what the problem is. I was trying to wear it during the summer. He was just to sweet and headache inducing in the summer. I just tried it now and it's 45° in here and it smells absolutely phenomenal. It's effervescent. The rhubarb is lovely. This is a flirty fun scent. There's nothing mature about it unless you layered it with some musk or Oud perhaps. I like it as is now that I have figured out where the notes shine. It is half the price it was when I first bought it. You can pretty much pick up this huge bottle for 30 bucks. That is insane considering how long it lasts And it's actually quite good.

Picture a pale pink carriage that's spherical in shape like a melon ball. Inside it's outfitted in pale pink velvet upholstery and fluffy cushions, with a bar that's serving pink smoothies ready for Cinderella. Wearing this I feel like Cinderella for sure, or a princess at least, and ready to fall in love. Although I haven't smelled English Pear & Freesia Joe Malone, what makes this different from Delina PDM and the like, is the smoothness of the pear-melon combo, and rhubarb is way toned down here.

This is very sweet. It immediately reminds me of Afnan Modest Deux, but this is even sweeter imo. It also reminds me of Wanted Girl By Night Azzaro in that it is sweet and has that artificial grape candy/soda smell but less obnoxiously artificial grape if that made sense. Lol! I really enjoy this smell, but this fruity sugar bomb isn't for everyone!

It’s as if Delina, Jo Malone Pear & Freesia & D&G L’impératrice had a baby. I love it!!!!! One of my favorite spring/summer fragrances atm. I had to buy a back up bottle yesterday
