MY FAVORITE PERFUME AT THE MOMENT- ROYALE STALLION by AL HARAMAIN REVIEW | Tommelise

[@millercreek79]

I'm a man wearing Royale Stallion today, and to my amateur senses it smells almost like a fresh brewed root beer (almond?) with a soft hint of vanilla and a fresh powder undertone. Also a hint of spice. When sprayed on a tester strip this one smelled EXTREMELY powdery and lady-like and I was initially put off. After wearing it I would say this one is unisex, but would lean slightly more masculine. The juice is also very oily and long lasting on the skin.

[@gcbwoods]

You did an excellent job breaking this down and explaining it. I've had it for a while. To my untrained nose, I couldn't describe it before other than the almond expression, but while listening to you, I can concur.

[@Scentobsessedemma]

I also want Junoon Rose which is supposed to be a clone of Amouage Blossom Love 💗

[@Tommelise]

yeah, it is gorgeous

[@ChrisThaDonStreams]

Great review, i just bought a bottle hoping to have a good experience.

[@Tommelise]

Hope so too for you!

[@NT-lg8vi]

I just received a travel size, and I do love it! It does snell a bit like hypnotic poison, so I’m glad I didn’t buy it the other day. It has a very slight bitterness/ burnt rubber smell. What do you think that is? I smell it a lot in niche and middle eastern inspired perfumes these days. I think Marc Jacobs Decadence has that tinge as well but more pronounced. .

[@Tommelise]

maybe cumin? or almonds they can do strange and cool things sometimes:) Decadence is fabulous I love it

[@NT-lg8vi]

I don’t know, I love cumin perfumes. It’s probably some unlisted mystery note.

[@ruglogbull]

Al haramain Junoon Noir is by far the best I have tried from this house. It is sooooo beautiful! Is this one at all similar to Junoon rose? Can you compare the two? Their differences? I am intrigued to try this but Junoon rose unfortunately did not work out for me so I am hoping this is different from that.

[@Tommelise]

Unfortunately, I haven't tried it out yet so I can't compare it to my fav Junoon rose(I guess they are very different because notes are pretty different?). Maybe I'll find a way to do that. So interesting that some say the original junoon rose didn't work out for them because this new version is my signature scent and absolute hit. Reminds me a bit of that Amouage's Blossom love

[@ruglogbull]

Junoon noir and Junoon Rose are not similar at all :) I actually ment to compare Royale Stallion to Junoon Rose :) Are they at all similar? They both seem to have a dominant almond note, does it smell similar in the two?

[@Tommelise]

oh ok. Let me wear them tomorrow and I will come back to you. But both are pretty powdery (which I LOVE) only Junoon Rose is very sweet which RS isn't. It's more oriental

[@nicoleyoung3927]

So crazy your doing a powder fragrance! I've been obsessing with doll head soft powder fragrance... I like loukhoum, and French kiss, and mukhulat .... please let me know if this is in that category! I'm wondering if the cumin will ruin it???😘🥰

[@Tommelise]

Nicole, noo cumin doesn't ruin it but makes it sex! And I too just adore Loukhoum and French kiss (hopefully they will be mine this year, sooner or later) and it's definitely from their team. Blind by worthy:))) But please don't kill me, if you don't like it:) But I am sure you will enjoy it!

[@nicoleyoung3927]

Tommelise ok I will!!😘😘

[@nicoleyoung3927]

Tommelise ok I trust you! I bought it with overnight shipping! There are no reviews on fragrentica yet! So we can be the fist to help others learn about it!😊

[@fragranceenthusiast5790]

Good evening Yana! I loved your review today. The way you describe the fragrance is so energetic and you make it seem so alluring! If you are looking for a lavender scent, I can suggest Pour Un Homme de Caron from 1934. It is supposed to be for a man but nowdays I don't think that means all that much, although it might have a timeless vibe. The colour of your top, hair, make up, everything today was wonderful. You looked gorgeous.

[@Tommelise]

Good evening James! (again! ahahhaha now we can chat everywhere) Oh good, I guess Matt, who created cat chypre, btw have you already tried it??? suggested me that one too but I am afraid it's gonna be masculine barbershop...having hard time with lavenders but not giving up! Thanks for the compliments, you make more than my boyfriends:))

[@Tommelise]

BOYFRIEND! Singular. I only have one:)

[@fragranceenthusiast5790]

@@Tommelise I think it certainly has a feel of that, but I think every now and again it is a very nice one when you are in the mood for that type the scent. I haven't tried the Civet Cat Chypre one yet. I'm not sure animalic fragrances suit me that well.

[@Tommelise]

That one will! Its not too animalic, actually civet is barely noticeable and it has sparkling fresh bergamot and beautiful flowers. You should check it out;)

[@ikeforever15]

I'm so happy when Perfume houses release original perfumes and not clones. We will gladly play a little extra for original scents. It is good you put the spotlight on such houses. Thank you Yana. Well done Al Haramain

[@Tommelise]

it reminds me of some but nothing concrete

[@antonchigurh7990]

I've heard multiple fragrance reviewers say that this is very, very similar to Parfums De Marly Pegasus--nearing clone territory. I'm not a fragrance expert nor have I smelled either Pegasus or Royale Stallion, but I think it may be a clone and/or cheaper alternative.

[@juliettirina6829]

Wow! That fragrance has beautiful notes, all I love. I'm going to order a sample right away.👍I tried from the house Amber Oud pretty similar to Erba Pura from Xerjoff and it's was very affordable.

[@Tommelise]

Yes, Juliett getting a sample is a great idea and of course I am looking forward to your feedback

[@FragranceTestTube]

Need to try this!

[@Tommelise]

absolutely:)

[@vladisavmilovanovic36]

I m living in Cyprus, how to order parfume al haramain? I have Jonoon rose, Rawa and I m wery satisfied

[@NT-lg8vi]

This sounds really amazing. I love cumin (that is not too overpowering) in perfume. Does this smell similar to Hypnotic Poison??

[@Tommelise]

good question, i'll smell it tomorrow and respond then (hope won't forget)

[@NT-lg8vi]

Well I just ordered a travel size!

[@notyouraveragejoe7003]

@@Tommelise I know it’s been a year, but does it smell like hypnotic?

[@UnknownChap]

I've not tried anything from the house, so it's great to learn more about it from you. Wearing Tom fords black Violet today 👌

[@Tommelise]

really?I am surprised how is that violet? as I was doing my best of violets I wanted to try it but couldn't find anywhere

[@UnknownChap]

@@Tommelise yeah unfortunately they discontinued it 😔 It opens with a big bright blast of tart tangy fruits , so juicy you'll be salivating. Then a big cloud of gorgeous powdery violets dust the whole thing , all the while a underlying woodyness remains present . It's so good.

[@christopherhayes6597]

If you like Tom Ford Neroli Portofino then try Neroli Canvas by Alharamain. Thank me later.

[@dorkablepotato]

I never tried al haramain perfumes before but I'm not a huge fan of lavender and bergamot. My only exception is mon guerlain. But I will give it a try to see if it's that amazing. I love perfume but my nose hasn't developed that much, I struggle with animalic , honey, coconut and spicy notes. I also am very picky, since I don't like dry woody scents. I,m searching an perfume that I can wear daily with an vibe like mon guerlain. Atm I,m saving up for an everyday perfume.

[@danielles7476]

May like girl of now:) )Ellie Saab) you may like it:) just a thought. Love both.

[@Tommelise]

lavender in here is just perfect, not annoying powdery and barely noticeable. IT is definitely about vanillic almonds and powder

[@NT-lg8vi]

Mon Guerlain is more sweet than I usually like, but when I’m in the mood, I do really enjoy it.

[@dorkablepotato]

@@danielles7476 thanks I already smelled girl of now by Ellie Saab, it was a bit too sweet for my liking.

[@antonchigurh7990]

Great video! I've had Royale Stallion on my wish list for a while now. I've heard multiple people mention that this is a clone/cheaper alternative of Parfums De Marly Pegasus (the name Royale Stallion might even be a direct allusion to Pegasus). Have you smelled Pegasus? I'd love to hear your take!

[@Tommelise]

Hi Jim, I heard that it should be similar to Pegasus which I haven't tried myself yet and didn't know this is a clone or something by the time I did my review. The only thing I know is that Royale Stallion is awesome

[@antonchigurh7990]

Thank you for the prompt response! Thanks for your input. One more thing, would you say this is all right for a men's fragrance, or does it lean more toward female? I just discovered your channel and love your content, keep up the wonderful work!

Интересны ваши ролики, очень жаль что нет русских субтитров😢 С наступающим новым годом❤

Lavender recommendation is Lush’s Sleepy body spray. Best. Lavender. EVER.

[@Tommelise]

Nice, I need to check it out. Thanks

[@paigeschultz6951]

Thank you- this sounds like I’d love it. However, as I research it, it keeps coming up as a man’s cologne dupe of Pegasus… is this strongly masculine to you?

[@paigeschultz6951]

Also if I have Montale’s Sweet Oriental Dream woukd this be similar?

[@gloryandpeace7]

I just bought the amber oud rouge. The clone for the br540 extrait. I have the original br540 and let me tell you, it’s smells almost exact. The only thing that was off putting in the beginning spray is that “band-aid” smell. But I read that’s the oud. I love it and use it as a sub when I want to smell like br540 but don’t want to use mine. Lol 😂

[@Bigshoots86]

I have the 540 extrait and amber oud rouge as well, it's the same scent to me honestly. I might have to retire both though, a girl said "he's wearing ariana grande" and chuckled to her mom at home Depot yesterday 😶

[@anakarina1011]

@@Bigshoots86 I’ll take them off your hands haha

[@Lajolies2scents]

For lavender perfume, try Mon Guerlain :)

[@Tommelise]

here you go kzbin.info/www/bejne/bnOxnYuZpbCGbM0 love it!

[@unfadewhatfades]

What exactly do you mean by affordable? On Notino Poland website the price point matches Tom Ford Tobacco Vanille

[@Tommelise]

www.idealo.de/preisvergleich/OffersOfProduct/6938744_-portfolio-royale-stallion-eau-de-parfum-75ml-al-haramain.html here you go, in German's Douglas TF Tobacco Vanille costs 298 € for 100 ml

[@unfadewhatfades]

@@Tommelise I need to wait for the price drop as currently it's around €190. I got your previous Al Haramain recommendation for a third of this price and it's lovely

[@Scentobsessedemma]

Apparently this is a clone of PDM Pegasus 💕

[@Tommelise]

right?? people told me that after I posted this review but I wasn't familiar with Pegasus anyway all I know is that I really enjoy this one

[@carnelianrain4259]

Please make a recent top powdery perfume video

[@Tommelise]

OMG I should definitely do that, thanks for your request I love it

[@lala1884]

I love amber oud and amber oud gold by this brand. But unfortunately can’t stand Junoon rose. I thinks it’s too synthetic and smells like cheap rose detergent to me.

[@ruglogbull]

Tina M I also am a bit disapointed in Junoon Rose, thought I would it judging from the notes but found it too synthetic also. HowererJunoon Noir is amazing! If you haven’t tried it you need to get your nose on it. It is heavenly :)

[@lala1884]

SillySue thank you, will definitely check this one out

[@Tommelise]

really? oh wow! I need to say the opening is a lot and I loove how it develops and dries down, that's the best part @Tina

[@Tommelise]

@SillySue (what a funny name:)) I am so intrigued by the junoon noire because I love the notes and hope it's gonna be a bit similar to Junoon Rose yet different more orrisy. Anyway, excited for royale Stallion?:)

I love Al Haramain but this one smelled like metal to me and not in a good way. It was a scrubber.

[@fabricioh94]

Is it unisex?

[@Tommelise]

In my opinion it is

Hello!! .. I love Al Haramain perfumes .. Could you please advise me a perfume of the brand Al Haramain whith "oud"? I want to complete my collection with an oud perfume (oud / rose combination for example) but I want it to be "light" enough to begin with .. do you have any advice on oud perfume that is not too heady? thank you so much!

[@marinapajak7209]

Wunderbare 👍✨✨✨

[@nicoleyoung3927]

Ok I bought this fragrance and I do not like it at all... I offense of course but let me warn people that this is a very masculine fragrance with an EXTREMELY metallic smell overall .... I pray I can return .. but if you're after thy type .. then it's good as that! But I was looking for a female it feminine powdey fragrance and this is the exact opposite .... try before you buy unless you're looking for a kind of sweet very metallic very masculine fragrance

[@Tommelise]

Nicole, OMG I am so sorry. Such a pity you don't like it. I don't get anything metallic out of it (thanks God cause I hate those) but sexy powder..but I can imagine that almonds work like that on your skin, it's a tricky note. Thanks for sharing your experience

[@nicoleyoung3927]

Tommelise Thanks for being nice about it… I have to say your taste is very different… I guess everyone's is… But it seems very unique LOL… I wish I would've known men's fragrance, It's extremely masculine… And a little cheap kind of in my opinion, kind of like vanilla crumble was as well… It's tough to find people that the same taste as you do 😊
