The story behind the bottle.
Royal Stone by The House of Oud is a Woody Spicy fragrance launched in 2020 and crafted by perfumer Cristian Calabro. This composition opens with the bright zest of tangerine, blood orange, and bergamot, which immediately contrasts with the warm spice of pink pepper and cardamom. As it evolves, jasmine brings a delicate floral touch, while ginger adds an unexpected kick. The base notes of ambergris, patchouli, and white musk create a grounding warmth that balances the vibrant top notes.
Apply Royal Stone to pulse points for a strong initial impact. The bright top notes fade within an hour but leave room for the grounding base notes to take center stage. It's best worn during cooler weather when its warmth feels more comforting.
