Le Parfum Royal Clones

"### Scent Breakdown Mazaaji attempts to capture the regal spirit of Elie Saab's Le Parfum Royal, and it gets surprisingly close, maybe 89%. The opening bursts with a juicy mandarin, but it lacks the refined sparkle of the original. The heart features a strong rose duo, Turkish and Bulgarian, supported by a touch of neroli. It's a potent floral mix, but the rose leans slightly more synthetic here. The base offers a comforting patchouli, sandalwood, and amber blend. The drydown is where it deviates most from Le Parfum Royal, becoming slightly sweeter and less woody. ### How Long Does it Last? Longevity is decent. I get around 6-7 hours on skin with moderate projection for the first hour. It projects well enough to get you noticed but won't fill a room. On clothes, it lasts even longer. Nothing groundbreaking, but perfectly acceptable point. It won't fool anyone who knows the original intimately, but for everyday wear, it's a great option. If you enjoy rose-patchouli fragrances and don't want to drop serious cash, this is a winner. Is Le Parfum Royal worth 5-6 times the price? Only if you demand ultimate refinement and natural ingredients. For value-conscious fragrance lovers, Mazaaji delivers a satisfying experience."

"### Conclusion Emaan is a solid entry point for those curious about the Le Parfum Royal DNA, but hesitant to commit to the higher price tag. It’s for the woman who wants to project a sense of regal confidence without emptying her wallet. The synthetic edges are noticeable if you're a fragrance connoisseur, but for the casual wearer, it's a beautiful rose-patchouli scent. Emaan gets the job done . ### Scent Breakdown Emaan opens with a juicy mandarin, but it’s got a bit of a candied edge, hinting at its budget origins. The heart blooms quickly; a double dose of rose – Turkish and Bulgarian – tries hard to mimic the plushness of Le Parfum Royal. Neroli adds a welcome brightness, but it lacks the original's refined quality. The drydown is where the differences are most apparent. The patchouli is present, but not as deeply rooted or richly textured as in the Elie Saab. The amber and sandalwood provide warmth, but remain fairly linear. I’d say it captures about 88% of the original vibe. ### Wear time & Sillage It projects moderately well for the first hour, creating a pleasant, noticeable aura. After that, it settles closer to the skin. Longevity is respectable, clocking in at around 5-6 hours. Don't expect all-day performance, but it's more than acceptable."

"### First Impressions & Dry Down Eminent Royal aims for Le Parfum Royal, and lands reasonably close. The opening blast of mandarin is bright, but a little rough around the edges – definitely not as smoothly integrated as the Elie Saab. The heart of rose and neroli is where this clone shines. It’s floral, feminine, and avoids smelling purely synthetic. It’s a strong like, though I'd put it at 87% of the original. The drydown is a patchouli-sandalwood combo that leans a bit too heavy on the patchouli, losing some of the refined amber warmth that makes Le Parfum Royal so special. It’s still pleasant, but lacks depth. ### The Performance Stats Projection is moderate for the first hour, creating a noticeable scent bubble. Longevity is decent; I get a solid 5-6 hours before it becomes a skin scent. Not beast mode, but perfectly acceptable point. ### Bottom Line Eminent Royal is a winner. It captures the essence of Le Parfum Royal without completely nailing it. If you want 87% accuracy and unparalleled smoothness, stick with the original. However, if you're on a budget and just want a pleasant, rose-patchouli fragrance with decent performance, It's a great daily driver for those who love the Elie Saab DNA but can’t justify the cost. Definitely worth a blind buy if the notes appeal to you. Save your money."
