Van Yulay has been in my short rotation for some time now. With a collection approaching 20 Van Yulay soaps, I’ve sung their praises so much, I may as well be a spokesperson. As a result, I’ll just stipulate that the soap provides a luxurious, dense, protective lather that’s easily built on my face despite hard water.
This was my first experience with their homage to Creed’s Royal Oud. Never having smelled Royal Oud, I can’t speak to the accuracy of Royal “Oudh”. However, after this shave, I’m tempted to explore this. It’s an elegant fragrance without being snobby. I feel like it’s appropriate for both business and casual, and with the right chemistry, would likely smell equally great on the fairer sex. I understand concentrations and origins play a role, but despite its namesake, this doesn’t really say oud to me. Instead, I do pick up on a spicy cedar and sandalwood with a gentle thick musk mitigated by a sweet citrus that’s somewhere between mandarin and lemon. The splash is more of the same, if not a bit more of the sweetness. 2 hours later, the fragrance has gotten sharper and less sweet, more of less resembling bergamot. I also note a very faint intermittent powder that I associate with Van Yulay’s splash base.
While I don’t tend to gravitate to cologne-scented shaving products, Royal Oudh is a very nice fragrance that has me re-thinking that custom.

This scent is inspired by Creed’s Royal Oud, and is darker, smookier, if you think old school vintage man’s scent this is it.
Lather is fantastic, add water a little at a time and you will be able to whip this soap into that slick yogurty texture and volume that is the holy grail of shaving soaps.
Definitely one of the better soaps I have used.

All of Monica’s soaps are made with what’s good for your skin in mind, and that includes her shaving soaps. Ingredients are top notch and performance is excellent.
But what stands out most to me here is the Royal Oudh fragrance. It is fantastic! I have over 100 shaving soaps from various artisans and dozens of EDP and EDT fragrances. Out of all those different scents, this is one of my favorites. I love it so much that I have several of the Royal Oudh shaving soaps (pucks and croaps) and aftershave splashes, as well as the deodorant and cologne. And the cologne, in terms of scent strength, is at least an EDP and may well qualify as parfum. One of my friends went so far as to describe it as an attar. A little goes a long way. And it’s such a pleasing scent that I feel confident wearing it in any setting, any time of day, and in any season. In short, I highly recommend all the Van Yulay products that share this Royal Oudh accord.

This is a wonderfully complex and intoxicating aroma! I think I’ll have to purchase the Van Yulay cologne for this scent cause it’s good stuff! And the soap is a creamy, slick joy to use! I highly recommend!

Really nice Oud- smooth with a little spice.
