* Rugged and masculine

* Surprisingly divisive reviews
* Might not live up to the hype of others in the line
Fragrance World's Royal Blend Vintage is a newer hyped entry that was released at the exact same time as Royal Blend Bourbon, timed perfectly to take advantage of the hype its very successful siblings Royal Blend and Royal Blend Nero acquired upon their simultaneous release. The original was a dead on clone of Angels' Share, Nero was a dead on clone of Qawah which is itself a clone of Angels' Share and now we have Vintage which is a clone of Old Fashioned (though some also liken it to Single Malt).
Straight up, this is a very strong booze forward fragrance with a strong and surprisingly realistic note of whisky. So much so that it may actually give off the wrong impression to people that you've been drinking when you haven't, at least on first smell to some noses. It's a very strong blend of fruit, whisky, herbal, tobacco, vanilla, and powdery notes. It's a good blend, but let's be clear, the whisky note dominates here. Original Royal Blend also had a strong booze note, but that is a Cognac note note so it comes off a lot smoother and gentler. Vintage is a hammer in comparison. A very good one, but still a hammer.
This is rugged and masculine and will suit older users perfectly. It's marketed as unisex, though I'm hesitant to recommend it to women. It's perfect for nighttime use, especially date nights and intimate occasions. It also works surprisingly well for more formal occasions. Just note again that this is so strong it may give off the wrong impression. So much so that this actually has really divisive reviews on Fragrantica whereas its siblings have great reviews. This may not live up to the hype of the others, especially with them being so much better received. If you love boozy fragrances, though, nothing short of actually splashing real whisky on yourself is going to top this and this smells better thanks to all the other smooth notes blended in. Highly recommended.
