Royal Vintage EDP

Which Should You Buy?
Imperial Valley is divisive, hailed as a masterpiece by some and a scrubber by others. This beast-mode Arab-Western fusion of fresh oud and leather needs to be tested on skin before committing, as its strength and unique profile aren't for everyone.
Royal Vintage is a sophisticated woody-leather scent that bravely attempts to carve its own path. While it continually invites comparisons to a certain blockbuster fragrance, its cypress-driven greenness sets it apart as a more mature, distinguished option. It's a statement of refined masculinity.

Occasions
Its nuclear performance and strong sillage make it unsuitable for office settings as it's often described as 'too much'. However, its long lasting, projecting nature and luxurious profile make it perfect for dates, casual outings, and can even work in formal settings if applied sparingly.
