The community generally regards this as the standout release in the Royal Blend line, often praised for being more mature, elegant, and "majestic" than its predecessors.
Performance is a major talking point; enthusiasts agree it offers significant longevity that often rivals much more expensive niche perfumes, with projection that remains strong even in outdoor or warmer settings.
While it shares a clear DNA with the original Royal Blend, users note that the addition of juicy raspberry and a smokier, woodier edge gives it a darker, more "gothic" personality.

Most recommend this for cold weather and evening wear, though some users find the fruity-woody balance versatile enough for year-round use if applied lightly.
