Royal Sapphire

The citrus is very subtle. The Orange Blossum is the most noticeable note, followed by the amber. The orange blossum alone is enough to remind you of Myslf (le parfum more than the EDP), however it’s so much smoother, like Myslf with blended so well that you don’t notice the transitions. It really does smell smooth for want of a better word, and despite the warmth of the amber, it’s still a fresh scent and a great choice on a sunny, but cool, spring day (temp under 20Deg C).I’ve had great compliments from wearing Myslf Le Parfum (more than the EDP, though I like that too), but everyone who liked Myslf Le Parfum on me thought the Royal Saphire was much better- a real “level up”. Despite being an extrait, i don’t think it lasts longer on me than the Myslf Le Parfum, but it does absolutely smell better. To me, if bought at a discount it’s absolutely worth the money, and I’ll be buying a 2nd bottle this spring. I alternate this with V&R Spicebomb metallic musk on similar temperature days when i feel like a change. If I’m being more casual I may reach for Myslf Le Parfum but for Mon-Fri in a casual (no suit) office environment in Mayfair, this is something I choose often. It definitely leans more masculine, despite the floral notes, and despite being much smoother, to me is more masculine than the Myslf line, despite a similar DNA/feel overall.

I really love the opening but I also love freshies. The bergamot is gorgeous and I smell aldehydes in the opening (although not listed). The opening changes rather quickly on my skin where the orange blossom & Jasmine really prevail. Those two notes seem saturated on the market however these are so beautifully blended and not sharp at all so still worth it. I think this may be where the YSL comparison comes in but I wouldn't really compare because this is much higher quality and better blended and much less synthetic. Patchouli frightens me and I can barely smell it at all. I got a peek of it in the opening but it quickly hides behind the citrus. As far as the drydown I would have to test more bc right now the Jasmin and the orange blossom have become the main characters. This is slightly masculine but honestly still feminine so it's a very strong unisex scent. Perfect to share a bottle with your significant other. Very clean scent. Looking forward to how it wears. Hoping it's not too linear.

Tried this in Dubai in the summer and it's perfection! I tried to buy a full bottle but they were out of stock and gave me a sample instead which naturally I used within a week. It seems a fairly basic composition but there's something royal and enigmatic about the sillage that has made me fall in love. I'm not usually a lover of orange blossom fragrances like Libre (too harsh), Love dont be Shy (too sweet) etc, but I love that they made this fresh and it's not too masc or fem. It can be dressed up or worn to work, or every day if you're a lil extra! I have a full bottle on the way and I will try my best to use it slowly as its not a cheapie!! I also already own Hudson Valley (not intentionally) and its similar but to my nose a bit more masculine and the quality is not as high - too much ambroxan and very strong. Thameen has created a gem that stands out within its profile!

Initial blast is beautiful and attention-grabbing, like a thickened version of YSL MYSLF. Also it's smoother, more aromatic, more addictive, and more pronounced than that one. It's like a sugary floral sweetness and a little nutty too. This actually has led me to compare it with Afnan's Lynked Freedom, which I found to smell closer than YSL MYSLF is. It's just that you get more premium, spa-like aromatic vibes from Royal Sapphire, while Lynked Freedom is more gourmand-adjacent and a bit more screechy due to cheaper materials. I just don't think it belongs to the niche category due to so much mass appeal. But that's why I see it as a designer, because this thing eats COMPLIMENTS for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.

Oh my this is gorgeous and took me by surprise. It’s just a stunning blend of warm white florals tinged with just enough citrus. It is heady and sophisticated, with a touch of dark shadows poking through from the base. The oak moss is distinct and adds slight animalic vibes, which usually scares me away but this is totally wearable. Although not directly comparable to YSL Libre, I do detect slightly similar vibes but at the niche level. And although I do agree there is nothing overly special about it, if I could afford it I still wouldn’t think twice about a purchase.

Went to Saks to test Patiala and the sales associate recommended this and it was love at first sniff. It smells so uplifting. I haven’t been able to stop thinking about it. I actually never payed it any mind because there aren’t much reviews out there and I just assumed it was for men. This is a gorgeous white floral fragrance with an amber/moss base. I love mandarin orange as a note as well. This fragrance is blended so well. If you like fragrances like libre, or prada paradoxe, you may enjoy this as well.

A smooth orange blossom and amber elixir that sits in the same realm as MFK's APOM. In the dry down, moss, and ambergris join in, making this one more masculine than the MFK. I do enjoy the scent, I like it a lot. I wish it had a bit of cypress, petitgrain or pine to balance out its sweetness a little more. As it stands, it's a shade too ambery for my taste, however, this would make an excellent replacement to APOM which is now discontinued.

If you are looking for something adventurous and creative this might disappoint you. It is a mass appealing DNA. High quality ingredients, but also a lot of Ambroxan, very well blended. This projects and lasts. It opens with smooth and sweet citrus layered over white florals. The white florals stand out in particular as high quality. The deep dry down is Ambroxan heavy and it has stuck round for a very long time on my skin.

Sophisticated, ambery and citrus scent with a soft delicate touch of mysterious oakmoss. This is the definition of rich, but understated/quiet luxury that will attract attention of those who know. Nevertheless, the intensity and the longevity are quite weak to my nose, therefore the price tag is not justified (around 290 euros for 50ml). Quality is great though. More masculine scent but I would easily wear it.

Royal Sapphire is truly gem in the crown.its beautiful and elegant, it's soft and feminine but not weak.its versatile, you can wear it in the first date,to office, on special occasions or just running errands. The only problem is the price for a 50ml I think it's overpriced, but if it's 100ml I think it's worth the price tag.its not a must have but if you are a collector it's worth have

What @Ozcarguy says... "Its more le parfum than the EDP however it's so much smoother" That pretty much nails this scent. Its not MYSLF EDP, its in the ballpark but its on Le Parfums field... its literally standing on first base. It's just a much better version of MYSLF Le Parfum Royal Sapphire is an easy to wear scent all year but in the Summers only at night I'd give it a 95/100

Very clean smell... took me by surprise cause I didn't think id like it judging by the note breakdown. Very luxurious, high quality juice. Didn't think Amber & orange would mix but wow i love this juice. Sillage is spot on, longevity is moderate as is the projection. It's perfect for office wear...

Got this today and as soon as I sprayed it I got YSL Myslf. Ysl have created a clone of Royal Sapphire, kindofa in the vein of Detour Noir versus Layton. And that's no criticism of the ysl, I think it's great. This is just done way better. For the price i'd be furious if it wasn't....

Class, elegance in a bottle. Its a sweet take in parfum. If you like Naxos, you will definitely love this. Thr sweetness level to me is the same , but dont get this wrong, they are totally have different smells. Just thr sweetness kinda the same. Love the blend! Im in love .

Amazing scent. The beauty is in the dry down. White florals and powdery scent. Long lasting and probably a mass pleaser. I am not sure if it’s accurate to compare it with Blue talisman but it reminds me of it, with less citrusy in Blue sapphire.

Very elegant and smooth quality scent. If you want smell luxury and very rafinate, this perfume it's what do you need. Projects and performers very well. Still smelling it and noticed by another person after 8 hours. Quality.

Absolutely beautiful and i say this as someone who isn't the biggest fan of florals, but his fragrance is divine. The silage and projection are top tier. It's a very signature worthy scent. Highly recommended to anyone. 8/10

This is an amazing scent that last all day, the projection isn't beast mode but I prefer it that way. This smells like a luxury men's shaving cream. Everytime I wear it I can't stop sniffing myself.

reminds me of Lake Geneva, Wisconsin, for some reason. Just nice and classy, not too in-your-face. Wearing this in the spring/summer just makes me happy

This is ysl myslf if it was niche, high quality and deeper. Period. Really great if you like that profile.
