Royal Court (2002)
by Anglia Perfumery

I'm immediately reminded of another English fragrance called English Fern by Penhaligon's but later it dries down to... Castile... by Penhaligon's. Must be the florals since Castile has neroli and this has rose which can smell like neroli. Really nice all in all.

Anglia Perfumery was founded to revitalise old traditional English fragrances that have been discontinued by their former manufacturers; mainly the Crown Perfumery scents after Clive Christian stopped producing them.
Royal Court is described as a "floral and eccentric cologne for gentlemen" and this is true: it's very floral and fairly eccentric. Citrusy top notes (orange, bergamot,lemon) are followed by a heart of lilac, jasmin, rose and a sweet, musky base. The predominant aroma is lilac, outstandingly combined with the other floral notes. It's sweet, warm and fresh at the same time and suitable for summer or winter. Perfect for clubbing, a bit too much for office use. There are few men's colognes that emphasize sweeter floral notes as explicitly as Royal Court. Really exceptional, but also a bit ambiguous, so you should sample this before you purchase it.
