Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

Its moderate longevity and sillage make it appropriate for most settings without being overwhelming. The refined, clean character, balanced by woody depth, suits both professional environments and more intimate occasions. It's a bit too sophisticated for active sports.

About

Signature Royale opens with a crisp, bright burst of apple and citruses, quickly softened by an aromatic juniper and a hint of warm cardamom. The heart unfolds with a clean, airy lavender and delicate magnolia, given a subtle kick by pimento leaf. As it settles, a luxurious suede and cashmere wood emerge, underpinned by rich amber, cedar, and a touch of creamy vanilla, creating a comforting yet distinguished dry down.
