I bought the sample of H&H Royal Oud because I've had a ministry of oud oud royal (creed royal oud) clone in the past but even though the scent was extraordinary, it just didn't last at all.

I'm a fan of creed Royal oud and bought the ministry of oud oud royal clone but while its a great scent it doesn't quite match the opening and middle as much so I am hoping Bentley absolute will maybe satisfy the itch.

I’ve had Oud Royal for a few months after searching for Royal Oud dupes for ages beforehand, I like it better than the OG I believe.

Oud Royal doesn’t get all the way close to Royal Oud, which I think it like one of the best creed fragrances, it truly smells like something the king of England would wear.
