[joov84]

Leather oud combo from kilian.Sounds interesting.
Has anyone sampled it yet?

Don't recall seeing this in Saks last time I was there. Need to check the Kilian boutique in NYC.

I'm guessing this is not a part of the Kilian Oud series (even though it has notes of oud....)?

 

[dougczar]

I really want to try this!

Didn't even know they had a leather composition fragrance will have to look into it , thx for the heads up!

First time hearing of it.

A fragrance with the prefix "royal" in it. How novel and original!

Fragrantica lists hawthorn in the top and oud in the base. I know hawthorn well! The trees smell a lot like rotting flesh when blooming. The notes make this one sound like it could be a beast of sorts.

Wow, these guys have this in stock for decanting already. Hmmmmm... to sample, or not to sample.

Leather and rotting flesh. Sounds like they wanted to capture the essence of a decomposing carcass. Royal Carrion might have been a better name

Looks like it is an exclusive in the UK at Harvey Nicks. May stop by and sample this one, although the rotting flesh part has me a bit worried.

It's really good. Interlude Man/GPH II meets Hard Leather. Longevity is very good - 24 hours plus on my skin albeit a skin scent by then but I asked 2 of my friends to sniff my hand and they could smell it clearly.

The tea note is really well done and lasts. The leather is not particularly skanky and adds the right amount of substance.
Oud is noticeable although not overbearing.
I like the direction Kilian has been heading in with newer releases such as Pearl Oud and this.

I sampled this a few weeks ago. The impression I got was of a tamer Dior Leather Oud. Smoky, sawdusty-woodsy and just a touch animalic/indolic. Like the insides of a stable perhaps. Not sure what exactly is 'royal' about this fragrance though, other than the price tag.

Exactly.

If its so royal, how come anyone can buy it?

Something like ELDO's Charogne?

From your description, this one sounds very nice.

Tried Royal Leather today.

Heavier leathers like this (especially with oud) really aren't my cup o' tea, but I could probably come closer to wearing this than others of its kind. Worlds better, IMO, than something like Dior's Leather Oud, as I found it much friendlier and easier to wear.

Classy, quality and refined, like most Kilians, but still not for me.
