Which Should You Buy?
This isn't for the faint of heart. Royal Highness Gold is a bold, unapologetic statement that demands attention. Prepare for a smoky, woody assault that some will adore and others will quite literally run from.
This one's a proper Gothic romance in a bottle, all dark woods and ancient incense. It's a statement scent, bold and unapologetic, but don't expect it to charm everyone - it's definitely a 'love it or leave it' affair that commands attention.

Occasions
The intense smoky and woody accords, combined with its strong presence, make it far too overpowering for an office setting. It's best reserved for evening events or a date where you want to make a powerful, memorable impression, its character lending itself well to formal wear.
Seasons
A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.
Occasions
Given its strong projection and remarkable longevity, Ashes is too imposing for an office or casual daytime wear, as community reviews confirm. Its dark, heavy, and sophisticated woody-incense profile makes it far better suited for formal events or intimate evening dates, especially in cooler weather.
