    Some say this is a love it or hate it fragrance. I hate it. Vanilla and leather don't mix well at all. Smells weird and bad.

    Royal Delight is a gem among mainstream fragrances and probably one of the last good Creeds to be produced. However, among its own kind, Royal Delight is all too similar to Vanisia and Jasmin Imperatrice Eugenie with their sweet, decadent bases--Royal Delight merely adds leather to the mix. For real royal delight I would go for Royal English Leather. Royal Delight uses top notch ingredients, but is redundant. I must restate though that compared to most other stuff these days it is quite nice.

    It smells good but just to feminine and makes you feel like you have visited a French Boudoir. Would smell better on a women but I would not wear it.

    I've had two unique experiences with this fragrance -- one piqued my interest, and the second dashed it upon the rocks. This is a Creed used very sparingly, a very intense floral/vanilla/leathery confection that you'll either find yourself loving as it dries down into a very rich and nearly overwhelming depth, or you'll simply find it too vintage and overpowering. Count me among the latter -- there was something about the heart and base that became far too stifling to be worn even on a cool day pre-autumn day. This is a winter candle fragrance that should slowly permeate a room; when worn on me, it takes a more effeminate turn and becomes far too suffocating. While listed as a unisex fragrance, this smells more feminine and yet tuned to an older demographic. Also, I couldn't help wanting to compare this to the base note found in Royal English Leather, and I don't mean that in a positive way -- though not as pungent as REL, it still rests on the nose on a way that doesn't react well for me. I applaud Creed for releasing something during this era that isn't solely a citrus top-note, but even in small doses, this Creed is a tough pill to swallow.

    like the name implies, this frag is like spraying yourself with Creme Brulee. So sweet, so decadent.

    can't say it smells bad, but the leather/vanilla is just too much for me. while it technically smells great, i just can't imagine any situation where this would be appropriate. this is the definition of "cloying" to me. everytime i try it, i eventually have to wash it off after a couple of hours.

    Apart from the name of this fragrance sounding like a rich and rare desert, this is truly a delight to wear. It is NOT, however, recommended for a blind buy, as it is a love-it-or-hate-it scent. This scent is very bold and not for the shy. I find Royal Delight perfect for when I want a sweet, leathery vanilla floral. It is truly enjoyable with its subtle sweetness. It can be worn in cold weather, but also in warmer weather when its cheerful and rich scent is a departure from all things floral-citrus. It has good longevity and moderate sillage. I find the word "rich" coming to mind--not as in "rich," as the presumed aristocrats who patronised the House of Creed, but rich in the sense that it satisfies the sense of smell the way a vanilla-and-creme dessert satisfies one's sweet tooth after a meal. If sweet vanilla florals are to your liking, then Royal Delight should be on your must-try list.
