What wearers say
“Nice and easy-to-wear perfume. I smell tobacco leaf, vanilla, cinnamon, and quite a heavy dose of cardamom, which I am personally a fan of.To me, this perfume smells like Centaurus by Creed, but at this price point I’m happy sticking with Royal Taboo, as the quality is there.Longevity and projection on this fragrance is above average.So far, Neeb has done a great job on all his fragrances. I can’t think of one I dislike.”
“Maybe this needs to macerate but it isn't as beast mode as I thought it would be. I get cardamom, cinnamon and tobacco for the most part. Sillage and longevity are above average but like i say not beast mode. 8/10. Only lasts a few hours on my skin at the moment and only projects slightly above average.Edit: this has benefited from maceration. Scent profile hasn't changed much but it is definitely stronger and lasts longer.”
“When I first got it a few months ago, I wasn't that impressed with the scent or its longevity. Trying it again it seems to have gotten a lot stronger and matured quite a bit.Smells very similar to Creed's cenarius, but I feel it has a bit more going on and is much more appealing. It lasts 12+ hours on my skin and leaves an enchanting scent trail.”
