Royal Earth is a powdery, Iris, woody scent created for Men and Women in 2015 by perfumer Guilluame Flavigny as part of the Yin collection.
Review
This scent blends Iris, seeds, and woods to create an interesting powdery, earthy quality. It is safe enough for the office, and can transition easily to any evening function from drinks after work to a quiet date to a cozy night in. It will work well in all seasons, but especially in the cooler months. It has been compared to Yves Saint Laurent Trench and Commodity Orris.
Inspiration
Royal Earth is an elegant and enigmatic scent that grounds the senses. It is deep and complex, like the irresistible pull of the earth.
Notes
The Iris in this scent can be found in the heart, but it felt immediately in the opening. Carrot Seet, Angelica Seed are blended with Ambrette, giving this scent a warm and earthy start. Neroli and Heliotrope join Iris in the heart, lifting the Iris higher as everything blends together. Tonka Bean adds a gentle sweetness while Sandalwood adds a creamy warmth that keeps this scent lasting. A final touch of Vetiver adds to the woody quality while boosting the earthy notes in the beginning of this scent.
