Royal Blend Nero is often described in fragrance communities as a more affordable alternative to Lattafa Khamrah and Gissah Sava‑style warm gourmand orientals, capturing a spicy sweet apple pie and vanilla amber vibe, though it is not an official clone.

What it smells like

Royal Blend Nero opens with a vibrant mix of bergamot and warm spice layered with sweet apple and date, giving a fruit‑spice fragrance that feels rich and inviting. The heart brings cinnamon and saffron with dry wood for depth and warmth, while the base wraps the scent in creamy vanilla, sweet tonka, resinous benzoin and soft musk that linger smoothly on skin. 

Wearers describe it as warm, spicy and gourmand, with a character that can feel reminiscent of cinnamon apple desserts or boozy sweet treats when fully developed.
