DINNER
(This is not sponsored)
‘A scent that stays as the night deepens. DINNER captures the spice of a perfect evening, from inviting notes of nutmeg to the lasting musk. This is the one you'll reach for again and again.’

We’ve analysed and evaluated BRUNCH.
We have dived into conversation about LUNCH.
And now, it’s time for the journey you’ve all desperately craved (by that I mean myself, mostly)...
Let's talk about DINNER, the final fragrance of OMR BEAUTY’s ‘Occasions’ collection. This one is my favourite, and I’m so excited to have the opportunity to write about this one. So without holding back, here is the fans’ (and my own) assessment of the last perfume oil from this bundle.
INSTA @LISANNEZELLMER
For starters, I obviously must mention the packaging of this perfume oil because of how exquisite it is. Similarly to the others in this collection, DINNER comes in its own unique box, designed specifically to capture the essence of the fragrance - a white background accompanied by the brand’s logo (which is the same for the whole collection), though this time a wine splatter design lays upon the surface. This theme clearly signifies the name of this perfume: DINNER. So simple, yet so effective.
‘Gathered around the table, wrapped in the scent of DINNER.’

The moment that OMR BEAUTY released the notes for each fragrance, I theorised that DINNER would be my favourite, due to the warm spice ingredients. Upon having the opportunity to smell it for myself when the package arrived, that idea was confirmed to be true. This scent is like no other I’ve discovered, and its unique aroma is beautifully unforgettable. It’s a scent to make you feel powerful, refined, and sophisticated.
Like many others, I cannot get over this one. So what does this marvelous creation smell like?
Starting off strong with vibrant and fruity hints, DINNER’s top notes of orange, osmanthus and ylang fill your senses immediately upon application. It brings a ripened sweetness to the fragrance, similar to the other oils in this bundle, and it’s the perfect way to start! The perfume suits the signature uniqueness of the OMR BEAUTY brand, while maintaining its own speciality with its gorgeous blend of exclusive elements.

The heart ingredients of this fragrance really define it, where the warm spices of nutmeg and cinnamon interlink with white flowers and give the perfume both a comforting and rich, as well as a floral, mixed scent. This layer balances perfectly, adding to the unique aroma of DINNER. The spices in particular are very apparent when smelling the fragrance - it’s very inviting! I feel that this layer really makes this perfume what it is, and it’s definitely my favourite blend of ingredients that OMR BEAUTY has created so far.
OMR BEAUTY certainly has some favourite elements when it comes to concocting their fragrances, which we see are used in multiple of their products. For example, the base layer of DINNER is sculpted with fragments of musk, patchouli, woody spices and saffron, which are commonly used amongst other OMR BEAUTY scents. It’s an essential part of pulling these fragrances together, and it works every time. This layer unites DINNER’s ingredients as it settles, finishing off the perfume with an earthy and masculine touch, which perfectly balances the earlier floral and fruity aroma. It’s a powerful finish, yet it does not diminish the other ingredients, which still remain after the product has settled.
‘DINNER finishes strong with lingering spices that carry you through the night. ’

One X/Twitter user described DINNER as ‘elegant’ when we asked, and I don’t think there is a more perfect word to define it. It’s warm, it’s rich and bold. It’s a fragrance that is a must for an evening event– it is comforting, distinguished, and flattering. Via Instagram caption, OMR BEAUTY states that ‘DINNER is made for nights you never want to end,’ which seems to be pretty accurate. ‘Dinner fits the title very well,’ one X/Twitter user states, and another adds that it is ‘rich and heavy, perfect for nights out.’
What do you think of this fragrance? Does it live up to its name?
‘The ‘Occasions’ collection, just like all OMR BEAUTY products, is designed for everyone – because scent isn’t about gender, it’s about self-expression!’

Perhaps it is magic, or maybe just perfume making– same difference–but this collection is phenomenal. OMR BEAUTY has set the bar very high.
This has been an incredible topic to cover here at OMR NATION, and I am extremely grateful to have had the opportunity to discuss your views of these scents. Thank you to you all, and thank you to OMR BEAUTY for their outstanding work with this bundle! It’s been a pleasure.
I wonder what else is in store for OMR BEAUTY. Perhaps we’ll have more products to talk about soon…

CIRKUS
“I was literally in tears!”, one fan answered, when being asked what her first reaction was, when Omar Rudberg announced his first ever solo show for February 2024 in Cirkus, Stockholm. Many fans have been waiting for months or even years for this moment to come, and while some fans have seen him perform before, whether it was at the RixFM festival in 2023, as part of FO&O or other performances, for many others this was their first opportunity seeing him on stage. Seeing as this was probably one of the most important steps in Rudbergs professional career, fans quickly started making plans to meet up and experience this once in a lifetime opportunity together and sold out the concert over a months in advance.
After another few months of waiting, the day of the concert finally came. After a day of trading bracelets and meeting friends in the queue, or simply exploring the city, we finally made our way inside the venue. And I can guarantee you, I will never forget that first moment Rudberg stepped on that stage, the countdown happening just before making the anticipation even higher. From that very first moment, everyone felt the impeccable stage persona Rudberg possesses.

Everyone in this room could virtually feel how proud we all were, finally achieving that dream, he worked for, for years. We were burning with happiness and we definitely had goosebumps all over our body. The atmosphere was just incredible, but if I’m being honest, I don’t think there’s any way to describe it, you just had to be there. Hearing your favourite artist is always an unforgettable memory, but some things that stay there a bit more. The one memory we share with friends and family, when they ask us about the show. The one song we will always mention when talking to someone about it. When being asked about their favorite performance several fans mentioned one of his, then, more recent songs, ‘Höj ett glas’, and I can confirm, the combination of the compelling swedish lyrics with Rudberg’s powerful voice are an incredible experience to witness. Another very emotional song on the set list was ‘Simon’s song’, as many fans have discovered Rudberg’s music through the series ‘Young Royals’.
But also towards the end he kept our attention high and Rudberg decided to take that, already very special, moment and debut a, then unreleased, single called ‘Red Light’. None of us had even the slightest idea a song like ‘Red Light’ would be part of this evening and everyone was stunned into silence. Just his voice with some instrumental background, this performance remains one of the best and ‘Red Light’ quickly became a fan favourite, even if that meant waiting three months for the studio release.

After the show inevitably ended, some fans went out for a bit longer while others went directly back to their accommodation to get their well deserved sleep after an exciting day. Many fans, including myself, also decided to stay a few more days in Stockholm, visiting locations like Hillerska (Kaggeholms Slott in Ekerö, the filming location of Young Royals) or the Royal Palace.

All in all, Rudberg’s show at Cirkus was an incredible experience and I will always be grateful to have been able to be a part of it, but it was also only the beginning, Rudberg would later perform several shows in the summer and go on his first international tour in the fall, which we have both covered in earlier volumes.

I'm Not A Boy
‘I’m not a boy’ is Rudbergs first single in 2025. It is about freedom, defying the labels and boxes society is trying to force upon us, realizing we don’t need them to be happy, we can just be.
It emphasizes how we are the only people able to define who we are, no one else, with lyrics like ‘What you know about me? Yeah, what you know about me?’.
It makes us feel ok being more, and how we aren’t too much for it, we are exactly right how we are, emphasized in the line ‘And that's okay 'cause' I'm a lot My mama didn't make me basic’, also hinting at the close relationship Rudberg holds to his mother. It’s powerful and a bit sassy and perfectly encapsulates Rudberg’s exquisite songwriting abilities and something one just cannot quite ‘put into words’.

A visualizer perfectly capturing the emotions of the song was released on the same day and Rudberg also performed the song on his ‘Every Night Fantasy Tour’, embarking just a few days later.

Young Royals
It’s been just over a year since Netflix released the final episode of Young Royals; just over a year since we’ve said goodbye to Wille and Simon; just over a year since the show that brought many of us together ended. It’s a bittersweet moment for the fandom, knowing that our show is over and we’ll get no more new Wilmon moments, but that Wille and Simon are happy and free.
Episode six encapsulates these feelings perfectly. Following the earth-shattering breakup of episode five, teary-eyed fans enter the last episode, unsure of whether or not Wilmon will even be endgame. We feel many of the same emotions from the second season, watching Wille and Simon dance around one another, totally crushed without the other, while still grappling with the fact that they might not be good for each other, that everything they’ve fought against was for nothing, and that their worlds were just too different.

Watching Wille lean against Felice and tell her that Simon is the love of his life while having to accept that he will have to sort his problems out by himself, and seeing Simon, crying in his own bed, upset that they just couldn’t make it work, the start of the episode is a hard watch. With it being the last episode, I remember sitting in my bed, hugging my pillow as I anxiously let the episode keep playing, tears already rolling down my face.
Then, the party scene is completely heartbreaking, as a parallel to the first episode. I still remember watching the season’s trailer and trying desperately to make sense of Simon’s line, “Let’s just forget about everything, just for tonight.” Wille looks miserable and out of place, unable to simply slide into the “party prince” persona he used to hide behind. Simon is just as bad, fruitlessly trying to be the mature one and protect himself, but failing to fight the feeling in his heart that tethers him to the other boy, and he gives in first. I immediately think back to the St. Valentine’s Ball kiss where despite everything, Simon searches for Wille. While he chases after him, you can feel his desperation. You can feel that they both know that everything is telling them to stop and not do this, but in that moment, it all goes away.
Young Royals, Season 3
From there, we have the lake scene—and truthfully, no words can express just how beautifully cinematic that moment is. Edvin and Omar’s acting in that scene alone demonstrates just how well they know the two characters. It’s equally heart shattering— I still have yet to subject myself to a full rewatch of season three.
And of course, we continue into the last few minutes of the final episode, getting glimpses of the third years’ graduation and what life is like with Wille and Simon apart. The third years celebrate, and Wille watches on, sliding into the backseat of the car with his mother. The tension is painful, and for a brief moment, it feels like Wilmon is not endgame, and that the two will just be heartbroken forever—and that’s not even mentioning the “have a good summer” scene (a perfect parallel to the moment that Wille tells Simon he loves him for the first time while they were broken up in the first season).
Young Royals, Season 3
Finally, though, Wille stands up for himself. He tells his mother that this is not the life for him, that his role as crown prince was suffocating him. Most importantly, he tells her that it’s not simply for Simon. Wille finally chooses himself, and that’s when he’s able to fully pursue Simon.
(Young Royals, Season 3) Running out of the car, and chasing after the love of his life, Wille quickly tries to catch up to Simon before he, Sara, and Felice drive away. He shouts after him, continuing after the car until he runs out of breath. But, the car stops anyway.
Perhaps the most beautiful scene of the show, Wille and Simon reunite, teary-eyed when Wille tells Simon his decision. After a tumultuous journey, after surviving the worst of scandals and several breakups, Wille and Simon can finally love each other, free of all the external stressors from Wille’s position. In the end, they choose each other, and we are left with a compilation of all the major moments of their relationship.
(Young Royals, Season 3) Finally, Simon and Wille join Sara and Felice back in the car as they set off. Their futures may be unknown, but with the wide open road ahead of them, they are free, and they are together, and surprisingly, that’s all that matters.
Young Royals, Season 3
Glancing into the camera one final time, Wille lets us know that he’ll be okay, no longer needing us to watch over him. And, then, the show is over.
Again, it’s just a whirlwind of emotions thinking about it all. What I can say though is that Young Royals has clearly had a major impact on so many people, including myself. It has forged together a community through its portrayal of young queer love and commitment to the characters and the final project. Every piece of the show feels handcrafted, and clearly thought out. It is overwhelmingly obvious that everyone put their everything into it. While it is sad to think about its end, the one year anniversary of its conclusion reminds us that it will never truly go away. The effect the show has had on people, the story of Wilmon, and the actors–such as Omar Rudberg, himself–the show introduced to many of us are all still here.
As long as we continue to talk about Wilmon and Young Royals, the show will never truly be over.
“Thanks to all of us, together, we created history. Let’s keep fighting for our rights to love. Our rights to exist. And let’s keep being fucking loud about it.”

Young Royals, Season 3
(P.S. I just wanted to leave a sappy thank you here, on behalf of myself and those of us who found Young Royals in a dark place. This show means so much, and for that, I just wanted to say thank you–to Omar, and everyone else who made it as magical as it is.)
