EDITORIAL“Symbol Royal by Princesse Marina De Bourbon Editorial Review”
Symbol Royal by Princesse Marina De Bourbon opens with an unmistakable rush of sweet fruit. The very first spray brings juicy peach and vibrant raspberry to the forefront, creating a bright, syrupy fruitiness. Some wearers even detect a subtle coconut-like impression early on, though the listed top notes are strictly stone fruit and berries. The opening feels unapologetically sweet, rich, and energetic right out of the nozzle.
As the bright berry burst begins to settle, floral elements emerge to soften the profile. Orange blossom delivers a honeyed white floral facet, while peony adds an airy petal freshness that keeps the opening fruit from feeling overly suffocating. As the hours progress, the florals step back to let the base take over. Rich praline and golden amber build a dessert-like warmth, anchored by a distinct touch of patchouli that provides structure and an earthy grounding.
The progression moves steadily from sweet and fruity to a creamy, balsamic amber experience. In the first half hour, fruity and lactonic sweetness dominates the air. Around the two-hour mark, the sweet accords meld deeply with the patchouli and amber, giving the scent a warm, rich tone that one wearer compared to honey bourbon. The dry-down stays soft and decadent, finishing as a cozy praline skin scent that lingers comfortably.
When it comes to performance, Symbol Royal delivers reliable results for its category. Community votes are divided between moderate wear (24 votes) and long lasting wear (20 votes), meaning most wearers experience between 4 and 8 hours of noticeable presence. Sillage leans moderate with 30 votes, projecting about an arm's length before settling closer to the body after a couple of hours. Because of its dense sweetness and warm resinous base, it shines brightest during cold fall and winter evenings.
This fragrance suits fans of rich, decadent gourmands who want a cozy, budget-friendly option for casual evenings and date nights. If you enjoy scents with prominent praline, berry sweetness, and a touch of patchouli, it delivers an inviting presence. Conversely, those who dislike syrupy fruit profiles or heavy patchouli should steer clear. It is also not well-matched for humid summer heat or anyone seeking a crisp, office-safe citrus scent.
Ultimately, Symbol Royal provides a solid balance of cozy sweetness and approachable elegance. While the heavy sweetness can feel polarising for lovers of minimal scents, it succeeds as an affordable, warm gourmand for the colder months of the year.

Symbol Royal is formulated and marketed as a women's fragrance with a distinctly feminine profile. In community gender voting, 45 voters classified it as female and 10 as more female, while only 6 considered it unisex. Its sweet fruit, floral heart, and sugary praline base lean traditionally feminine.
When is the best season to wear Symbol Royal?+
The best time to wear Symbol Royal is during the fall and winter months. Seasonal community voting awards fall 100 points and winter 93 points, compared to just 37 for spring and 24 for summer. Its dense praline, amber, and patchouli base can feel cloying in warm weather.
Is Symbol Royal suitable for office wear?+
Symbol Royal is generally better suited for casual outings and evenings than for corporate office wear. The sweet peach opening and syrupy praline dry-down can feel too heavy or distracting in closed professional settings. If worn to work, apply lightly with a single spray.
What perfumes smell similar to Symbol Royal?+
Symbol Royal shares similarities with fruity patchouli gourmands like Jimmy Choo Eau de Parfum and Lancome La Vie Est Belle. While those fragrances share sweet patchouli and praline elements, Symbol Royal emphasizes lush peach and raspberry top notes rather than pear or powdery iris.
Is Symbol Royal a safe blind buy?+
Symbol Royal is a cautious blind buy that is safest for dedicated lovers of sweet gourmands. While the price is accessible and many voters rate it good value, some wearers find the syrupy fruit and patchouli blend too heavy or polarising without sampling first.
How should I apply Symbol Royal?+
Apply two to three sprays of Symbol Royal onto pulse points like the neck and wrists. Because the fruity opening is bold and the praline base is rich, starting with a moderate application helps prevent the scent from turning overly syrupy in close quarters.
Does Symbol Royal smell like coconut?+
Symbol Royal does not contain coconut in its official notes, though some wearers perceive a creamy undertone. The official formula features peach, raspberry, orange blossom, peony, amber, praline, and patchouli. The interplay of sweet fruit and lactonic praline can occasionally suggest a subtle coconut vibe.
