Turathal Arab Royale
Turathal Arab Royale by Afnan is an unisex eau de parfum from 2021 in the budget price tier. It opens with saffron and cardamom, moves into oud and rose and dries down to amber, musk and sandalwood. Expect around 10 hours of wear, and it projects very strongly.
Notes, explained
Opening
- Saffron Leathery, medicinal and slightly metallic. The signature of modern niche.
- Cardamom Cool, aromatic spice with a eucalyptus lift. Smells expensive.
Heart
- Oud Resinous, medicinal, barnyard-adjacent wood. The most expensive note in perfumery.
- Rose Can be jammy, green, peppery or soapy depending on the type. Not one smell.
Dry-down
- Amber Warm, golden and resinous. Not a real material — a blend that glows.
- Musk Warm, skin-like and slightly sweet. Makes a fragrance feel like you.
- Sandalwood Creamy, milky wood. Soft and almost edible.
