About
Agar Royal by Chopard is a Oriental Floral fragrance for women and men. Agar Royal was launched in 2019. The nose behind this fragrance is Alberto Morillas. Top notes are Jasmine, Bergamot and Mandarin Orange; middle notes are Cypriol Oil or Nagarmotha, Vetiver, Patchouli, Tuberose and Black Pepper; base notes are Laotian Oud and Agarwood (Oud). Agar Royal is a tribute to the Great Kings of the Indies, the palaces of the Maharajahs, and the splendor and shimmering colors of the subcontinent, which makes oud vibrate with all of the light and richness of its land of origin. The Master Perfumer created a noble and charismatic "white" oud by adorning Oud Assafi with other great symbols of India’s perfume heritage: sambac jasmine, tuberose, sandalwood, and cypriol nagarmotha. A fragrance whose name evokes its roots, which in Sanskrit "agaru" means "wood that does not float" because of its high content of resin. Agar Royal is a perfume of royal lineage worn as an invisible garment embroidered with gold and light."I imagined Agar Royal as a tribute to the noblest heritage of India and its olfactory intensity. Agar Royal is like a precious white fabric, a brocade of silk and white gold encrusted with stones, ornaments and sequins – the ceremonial dress of a great Mughal emperor. In creating it, I wanted to pay homage to all the great raw materials of perfumery that have the power to transport me into the intoxicating sensuality and mystery of India: Indian oud, sambac jasmine, tuberose, sandalwood, cypriol nagarmotha ..." - Alberto Morillas, Master Perfumer
