I actually wrote two reviews for this and I'm damned if I'm going to waste one so here's both...enjoy! Review 1 I knew nothing of royal delight... not a thing, just kinda expected another well put together but ultimately underwhelming Creed scent. Now I may have come across, especially in recent reviews as a bit of a Creed basher but I'm actually quite a fan of this accessible house. It's just that I'm not a fan of their lies! Anyway...moving on. Instant thoughts on the top notes a very realistic tangerine orange, I said Tangerine instead of mandarin/orange etc...(even though they smell almost identical.) and that's apparently what it is...more of a lucky guess really. Then a strong floral musk...I mean it's really musky but fresh and pleasant like many creeds. The first thing I said was 'musky tangerine with some white florals' That would be the jasmine which is key in making this scent more delicate and sweeter rather than bitter and waxy. Another way to describe it is a semi bitter orange, floral, musk like a Terre d'Hermes flavoured Musc ravegeur. Imagine that!?!?!? I actually really love it! The freshness of the top notes, the elegance of jasmine the sophistication of ambergris and musk this actually feels classy or Royal. I don't however subscribe to this bullshit... '...the Queen, commissioned a fragrance from CREED for the new man she would marry in secret, a royal guard." Why Creed perpetuate these lies (well I know why it wouldn't be the same brand otherwise!) ...it frustrates the hell outta me!!! Yeah so....this stuff is good. Review 2 This scent actually delivers the notes promised here, I had no idea what royal delight would smell like, I'd thought maybe a light musky citrus fruit affair like royal water but it's not really. The opening is a very dirty unsweetened white floral which is unmistakably jasmine but set against this backdrop of leather, making it almost animal and musky. Not an opening I completely enjoy but that's the challenge of this scent. Royal delight is a sibling or at least a cousin of royal English leather in terms of the overall mixture of leather and signature Creed ambergris. Oddly enough the orange (or tangerine specifically) comes out more in the drydown or at least when it's settled, which is a pleasant thing and in fact is probably my favourite element but by itself wouldn't present the interest of the fragrance as a whole. This is my second wear of Royal delight, my first impressions were that I loved it...hmmmm... not sure if I feel the same way now? Leather softens in the drydown and the jasmin sweetens a touch making the whole thing more palatable to me. I really don't think it leans either way in terms of gender and performance is not bad. A shaky but intresting dirty floral start leading into a pretty good fragrance when all is said and done.
