Akaster Royal Essence Cologne by Parfums De Marly, A masculine scent that hints of power and romance in far-off places, Akaster Royal Essence is a captivating men's fragrance perfect for both everyday wear and formal occasions. Top notes of lemon and cypress combine for a light, earthy and wholly balanced beginning. The addition of exotic African geranium and Bulgarian rose middle notes evokes the mystery of fairy tales and creates a sweet and subtle floral touch in the heart. Rich and woodsy musk and sylvan agarwood mix with spicy cardamom base notes for an adventurous foundation that gently lingers.

Since releasing its first fragrance in 2009, Parfums de Marly has collaborated with numerous perfumers to create exciting colognes fit for kings. This cologne’s sophisticated, regal, matte black bottle is no different, and it is emblazoned with the brand’s raised, black logo of two reared thoroughbred horses. The box, also black, is similarly simple and elegant with white lettering.
