Champagne Royale
Champagne Royale by Navitus Parfums is an unisex eau de parfum in the niche price tier. It opens with lemon, mandarin, champagne and ginger, moves into plum, iris, cypress, cinnamon, nutmeg and geranium and dries down to pine, guaiac wood, cedarwood and leather. Expect around 9 hours of wear, and it projects at a moderate level.
Notes, explained
Opening
- Lemon Clean, sour, instantly recognisable. Bright but burns off fast.
- Mandarin Soft, sweet, almost powdery citrus. Gentler than orange.
- Champagne Fizzing, bright and slightly yeasty. Celebration as a smell.
- Ginger Warm, zesty and slightly soapy. Bridges citrus and spice.
Heart
- Plum Dark, wine-like and slightly stewed. Autumnal.
- Iris Cool, powdery, slightly carroty and expensive. The luxury note.
- Cypress Cool, green, resinous conifer. Sharp and clean.
- Cinnamon Sweet heat. Reads festive, sometimes to a fault.
- Nutmeg Warm, woody and slightly sweet. Cosy without being gourmand.
- Geranium Rosy and minty at once. Reads masculine more often than not.
Dry-down
- Pine Sappy and bracing. Straightforwardly outdoorsy.
- Guaiac Wood Smoky, tarry and slightly sweet. Like a bonfire and roses.
- Cedarwood Dry, pencil-shaving woodiness. Clean and structural.
- Leather Smoky, dry and a bit animal. Can be a new jacket or an old saddle.
