Armani Prive Oud Royal

Mostly sweet resinous warmth, soft and slightly powdery. Underneath that, dense smoky resinous wood, rich and medicinal. An acquired taste for many Western noses.

It opens on amber, incense and sandalwood, moves through incense, oud and rose, and settles on amber, incense and oud.

• amber: warm sweet resin, soft and slightly powdery. More of a glow than a sharp smell
• incense: dry resinous smoke, the smell of a church rather than a bonfire

It lasts well and carries into a room.

Built from the note listing and the measured performance figures. We have not smelled this one.
