Al Majed Oud Royale — the character and story of the fragrance
Al Majed Oud Royale is a men's Eau de Parfum released in 2024.
The composition belongs to the fougère family, combining fruity freshness, green nuances and a soft woody-musky base.
The fragrance was created by Al Majed Oud, a Saudi brand that produces women's, men's and unisex fragrances in different concentrations.
Royale continues the brand's expressive oriental aesthetic, yet unfolds with considerable versatility: its character is built not on heavy sweetness, but on the contrast between a juicy opening, an aromatic heart and a warm base.
The pyramid and development of the composition
The top notes feature pineapple — a juicy, slightly tart and distinctly refreshing accord. It gives the composition a dynamic opening and makes the first few minutes especially vivid.
Lavender appears in the heart, adding a cool green nuance and a well-defined fougère character.
As the fragrance develops, it becomes calmer and deeper: patchouli and sandalwood create a woody framework, while musk softens the scent and gives it a clean, velvety finish.
Longevity, sillage and wearability
Al Majed Oud Royale has very powerful sillage, making it noticeable in a space and allowing it to linger in the memory long after application.
It is an option for those who enjoy expressive compositions with a confident presence rather than intimate “skin scents”.
The fougère structure makes Royale particularly suitable for cool weather, evening occasions and situations where you want to emphasize a polished image.
At the same time, the fruity-green opening adds freshness, so the perfume does not come across as exclusively heavy or mature.
The database does not specify exact recommendations for the number of sprays on skin and clothing; given its intense sillage, it is best to start with a moderate amount and increase it if necessary.
The perfumer and the brand's style
The composition was created by Hamid Merati-Kashani, a perfumer known for combining a striking opening with a rich, carefully constructed base.
In Royale, this style is expressed through a distinct transition from juicy pineapple to lavender freshness and then to warm woody-musky nuances.
The fragrance is part of the Classic Collection, where it can be seen as an expressive men's release with a clear fougère foundation and an oriental sense of scale.
No other concentrations of the same fragrance are listed in the composition, so Royale Eau de Parfum stands as a version in its own right.
