Which Should You Buy?
Royal Mayfair is a proper marmite fragrance - you'll either adore its unique, rosy-eucalyptus charm, or find it utterly repulsive. It's a polarizing scent for a reason, but those who love it, really love it. Just don't blind buy, mate.
This one's a solid, woody-rose clone with decent staying power. It's not quite Creed Royal Mayfair, lacking some of that zingy sparkle, but if you're after a more grounded, darker take on the original, this is a very good alternative.
