Signature Royale XXX

From the double soul of Signature Royale X, we move on to the totally animalic soul of Signature Royale XXX, which has some traits in common with Signature X but which enhances the wilder, more natural, more passionate aspect that was slightly touched upon in the previous fragrance. It is the masculine sensuality, but mind you: not because it is a perfume that can be worn by men, but it represents a perturbing, sexy, decisive perfume that, as I often say, looks better on women than on men, representing something unexpected, which, however, you will no longer be able to do without. An olfactory journey between three fragrances that I enjoyed very much. ‘Sex parts and Torsos by Andy Warhol.

It smells nice, good quality, but nothing ground breaking here. And I don't get a slightest animalic note in it. It has a dab of clean oud in it maybe maybe not but not animalic/dirty/barnyardy even a bit. It has something in it that is referred to as skin accord in ATH frags. It has that skin smell to it which is sensual and nice IMO. It leans masculine and an office safe year-round fragrance.

It's like the X but with an overload of Musk. It smells like someone with a lavender, tobacco, amber vanilla fragrance just came out of a bathroom of a raunchy nightclub

This is a joint review of Royale X and Royale XXX which I tested on subsequent days. As a base of comparison, I used Clean Musk by Authenticity Perfumes (company not in database). Both X and XXX are for sure NOT clean type musks. For performance, they both have excellent longevity however projection and sillage is intimate unless you vastly overspray. In that case, the projection lasts about an hour and then they are back to basically strong skin scents. Once both fragrances settle, which doesn't take long, they can both be described as a musky male body scent. I did not detect any BO armpit smell. The difference between X and XXX is that XXX adds a very subtle fruity/floral accord. For me, I liked X better. It's a pretty versatile scent but not good enough for me to immediately order a bottle. I'll add X to my "maybe buy in the future" list. Because it's mainly a second skin scent, I doubt it would have much utility in layering. It would have been interesting to use it as a base to make a top layer fragrance more masculine. Sadly, I think it's too weak for that. Since I liked X better, I won't be bothering with XXX. On second though, won't be getting either. Just too weak. As far as the marketing hype, one can use one's imagination to smell whatever you want - jock strap from a high school football player, man's scent after laying pipe with the stewardess in an airplane lavatory at 30,000 feet or whatever. I'd simply describe it as a sweaty male body smell (not BO) similar to the underlying base of say Overture Man or Unutamam (but those two fragrances do it better and stronger and have different accords on top, which X and XXX lack).

All manly scents rolled into one with a sweet drydown. It may throw you off if you smell it up close. It's meant to grab attention in the air. I would dress this fragrance up. All black slimfit shirt and pants, with a brown belt and leather chukka dress boots for contrast. Exotic rings and black Rolez to complete the look. What look, you ask? The professional assassin hitman gigolo look, of course.

Dirty sexy to the extreme. Smells wearable to me but maybe not to others. But if you want the old school vibe with deep modern sexiness this is it.
