What wearers say
“Adsolutely beautiful perfume! Quality!! It lasts the ENTIRE day into evening with a strong projection. I think this is more of a winter scent than summer as quite strong and somewhat sweet. Not a safe blind buy but is deffinately worth a try.”
“Honesty, one of my favourites! Longevity lasts 6-8 hours and will last longer with a touch up and wears better in cooler weather. Sillage is enormous and I receive a lot of compliments wearing it!”
“I know nothing about the original Le Parfum, so i can’t compare. But yesterday I tested In White, and it was almost boring comparing to Royal.Royal have the twist. It is sophisticated, fresh ,not too sweet, and definitely not gourmand. It has something more, that I can’t describe.Longevity and sillage are VERY good.I'm wearing right now and I LOVE it!Rating 5/5.”

Emaan has slightly stronger oud projection in the base and marginally better longevity (6-7 hours vs 5-6 hours), while Le Parfum Royal maintains a more refined, delicate floral character throughout its development.

Longevity
Moderate to Strong
Sillage
Mazaaji has reduced longevity (4-5 hours vs 6-8 hours for the original) and slightly less sillage, with a marginally warmer, slightly less refined oud treatment in the base that feels more animalic than the designer's polished interpretation.

6-8 hours
Longevity
Moderate to Strong
Sillage
The clone performs reasonably well on projection and longevity but falls short on the creamy vanilla undertones that give the original its signature warmth and sophistication. Eminent Royal trends slightly more austere with a sharper oud presence, lacking some of the original's rounded, gourmand character.
