About

Royalty Not Needed is Perfume Parlour's budget take on By Kilian - I Don't Need A Prince By My Side To Be A Princess. It opens with Lemon, leads into a heart of Peach, Jasmine, Apple, and dries down to Vanilla, Benzoin, Marshmallow. The overall character is fruity with citrus and floral facets. As a dupe it stays closer to the skin with softer projection and shorter wear than the original, but keeps the signature accord recognisable - an easy everyday way to enjoy the style.
