The Fragrance The Crown Extrait
Description
The Crown is the centerpiece of The Fragrance's Royal Collection, built around lavender, saffron, and rose over a base of genuine agarwood and patchouli. The opening is unexpectedly soft: sweet notes and lavender ease you in before the heart emerges with jasmine, rose, clove, saffron, and nutmeg. The base is where the composition earns its name, layering agarwood, amber, patchouli, vetiver, and moss into a long-lasting woody finish. It reads as a modern take on a royal oriental: aromatic spice meets genuine oud in a well-blended, balanced structure. Presented in a gold bottle.

FAQ
Does The Crown contain real oud?
Yes. Agarwood is listed in the base and contributes a genuine resinous depth beneath the spice and wood layers.
Is it similar to other Royal Collection fragrances?
The Crown shares the collection's luxurious positioning but stands apart with its lavender opening and pronounced spice-to-wood arc. The Duke, by contrast, leads with florals into suede and oud.
How does the lavender read?
It is a soft, sweet-herbal note in the opening, not the sharp barbershop lavender of traditional fougeres. It fades within the first hour as the spices take over.
Is it for men or women?
Unisex. The lavender-rose heart is approachable, while the clove-oud base adds backbone that works on anyone.
