The review

On paper, Royal Blend is a reasonable bet if you want Angels' Share for less.

French Avenue sells it on the name alone — no note list of its own — so the brief is Angels' Share's pyramid, and the closeness votes below are the real test.

At $128 it costs 55% less than Angels' Share.

Value6.1
Evidence7.0

Reviewed on paper: from the notes and strength French Avenue publishes, the price per 100ml, and how firmly the match is claimed. How it really smells on skin is what the votes below are for.

What it's built to smell like

The original opens on cognac, turns to cinnamon, Tonka Bean and oak, and settles into praline, vanilla and sandalwood. That is the brief Royal Blend is working from.

Top

  • cognac

Heart

  • cinnamon
  • Tonka Bean
  • oak

Base

  • praline
  • vanilla
  • sandalwood
For the one who savors a fireside glass of aged cognac, wrapped in cinnamon, praline and warm vanilla on cold nights.
