The fragrance is very long-lasting, staying on the skin for 12 hours or more, gradually revealing its notes
The scent will linger in the air even after its wearer has left.
The perfume has a fresh scent that is not too intense, so it does not overwhelm those around you with strong essences
A light and elegant fragrance with harmonious richness—the perfect balance between the depth of eau de parfum and the freshness of cologne
Fragrances for spring and summer unfold with light citrus notes, floral and fruity accords, filling the composition with freshness, airiness, and a feeling of carefree lightness on warm days
The olfactory structure of Prince de Galles is shaped as a cohesive olfactory arc, where layers reveal themselves with precision and warmth. The style of Marcel Bur comes through in details that define the fragrance identity. Every decision feels deliberate, and the structure feels complete all the way through. Eau de toilette supports the depth and body this composition needs.
The internal accord map is shaped by these accords: Aromatic, Citrus, Gourmet and Fruit without random overlap. Background accords such as Spicy add depth to the backdrop. The gender direction is masculine, which makes the scent profile easier to read.
When the structure is mixed the notes arrive together with a energetic fresh mood: Bergamot, Grass, Hazelnut, Lavender, Lemon, Mandarin and Pineapple.
The inner phases are read as a smooth transition from opening to trail, which gives the structure continuity.
At olfactory-group level the composition is built around Citrus, Green, Fruit and Gourmet.
Overall Prince de Galles reads as a cohesive composition — the start forms character, the central phase adds depth, and the base secures the trail. This is the type of composition best understood on skin.
