A salicylate rich opening of mimosa and acacia (salicylates occur naturally in these extracts, enhanced by ylang) – rich, robust & natural. Yellow flowers, damp cardboard, violets & roses in an ionone rich cloud that cover the puffy yellow blossoms. Slowly the ylang-jasmine combo rises forming a sumptuous powdery cloud – indolic & strange. A troubling base of oakmoss, leathery castoreum and woody notes underpin the florals, giving a touch of raunch; a subtle sweatiness. They just don’t make florals like this anymore. The quality of the ingredients alone is undoubtedly of the highest degree. Every nuance of the florals is felt deeply & richly. An unctuous, beautiful, powdery, subtly leathery floral.

Pastel yellow scent – it is very sweet to my senses but also quite cool. I do not find it to be that rich, warm or creamy. It is very feminine, happy, young but with an old soul.
Surprisingly, it reminds me a lot of Eau de Giorgio, and make me reminiscence of era that I never had an opportunity to live through.
Pale yellow 80’s shadow scent. It is very beautiful in its own way but nothing I would wear on a daily basis.

Syrian jasmines & ylan ylang combo.
Clean soft jasmines with hints of animalics. It’s the transformation of fragrances from the 80s powerhouse animalic to clean bubble era of the 90s as you can detect the castoreum, and civet at the base with doses of violets, red roses, and vetiver.
It has that vintage mimosa and animalic blend. Never thought that it’ll be that good and inspiring! Quite impressive.

Class in a bottle.

Opens up very “yellow” with mostly mimosa, then gets overshadowed by golden ripe jasmine, but the 2 eventually harmonize with ylang. Rich, classy, and warm; indolic at times but not quite animalic. One of my Top 3 from the house 🙂

Most of the Etro offerings I’ve sniffed to date have been colognes both in name and in effect. Not so in the case of my recently acquired bottle of ROYAL PAVILLON, bestowed upon me by fellow Fragrantican Action. Rather than an eau de toilette, as it claims, I’d say that ROYAL PAVILLON is closer to an eau de parfum, given the strength, sillage, and longevity of this composition. Or perhaps this is simply a reminder of what these categories used to mean before houses began diluting their perfumes to increase the volumes of sales. There was a time, after all, when roller balls did not exist since women did not need to re-apply their perfume. Two small touches in he morning used to be all that one needed. The very concept of the “portable fragrance” rests upon the assumption that the longevity is poor, what we are being marketed into believing is perfectly acceptable and indeed to be expected of what are claimed to be eaux de parfum though they are much closer in concentration to what used to be called colognes. But I digress.
ROYAL PAVILLON strikes me as a vintage creation, an oriental from another era with a big emphasis on castoreum and civet—-dark and deep notes which some may find forbidding. Upon application, I was immediately reminded of Crown Perfumery TANGLEWOOD BOUQUET, which however features a hefty dose of styrax. These compositions include dense components which tend to overshadow the more popular current oriental bases. The woodiness, patchouli, and amber common to and often salient in twenty-first-century oriental perfumes are not present here.
Having grown accustomed to such bases, I’ll probably be mixing ROYAL PAVILLON with an amber- or patchouli-focused linear perfume so as to moderate the darkness a touch, which evenly sparingly applied brings this wearer close to the cusp of a headache. The vessel in which this heady mix is housed is truly beautiful, with etchings reminiscent of the gorgeous Ralph Lauren SAFARI bottle. Very vintage, all in all.

Although Royal Pavillon is far from what I look for in perfumes, I find it a very elegant and feminine floral blend. It feels green and fresh and in the drydown the most distinctive notes on my skin are the vetyver and oakmoss. I expected it to be a loud and retro frag but it turned out subtle and discreet and very good for officewear. I imagine it being worn by an elegant fair complexioned woman in a spring afternoon somewhere out of town.

Very delicate Jasmin. Reminds me of night scented jasmin by Floris, but this one is musky, what makes it more tender.
nedonosok – :
This is a rich warm evening scent for cold weather. On my skin it’s musky and a little bit floral, not sweet or bitter. I feel some pleasant leather notes in the base. Only 1-2 sprays needed, if more – it can be overpowering. I do not recommend it for teens and young girls.
Its so good for cold weather, it opens with something tasty and warm that reminds me of a bakery and lasts for several hours. The more I wear it, the more I love it.

Royal Pavilion’s name calls up the oneiric atmosphere of a winter garden. Refined and feminine fragrance with it`s precious bouquet of flowers. Jasmine and mimosa dominate the top,ylang-ylang and violets are quiet and creamy. After this a terrific entrance for the woody, grassy heart(vetiver and oakmoss).The middle notes under the floral add spice, and the great animalic end (civet and castoreum). Royal Pavillion is more of what I’ve been looking for!
