Royal Sapphire by Thameen
Amber Floral
Thameen is a British perfume brand, relatively new, born in 2013. It opens the British culture to the world which is ironic due to Brexit in 2020. Anyway, it has been a while I have heart about Thameen, especially in relation to Peregrina and Blue Heart. When I saw their discovery kit at Muscat’s airport I could not resist.
I will simply kick off my Thameen review series with the best and it is undoubtedly Royal Sapphire. Guys, Royal Sapphire is such a gorgeous fragrance. It is unisex, very spring-like. It smells like the perfect cologne. It has a sparkling top with mandarin and bergamot, a floral heart – orange blossom and jasmine, and it as all balanced out with oakmoss, patchouli, wood and amber.
What I find typical about Thameen perfumes is that they are all quite ambery. But Royal Sapphire shines. It is bright but nicely grounded with earthy notes. It feels vibrant and aromatic at the same time. It is a combination of Levant by Ormonde Jayne and Aqua Universalis by MFK. It is juicy and fun yet serious and calming. An amazing everyday workday scent. If I were to buy one Thameen’s full size bottle, I would buy Royal Sapphire. That says it all.
