This is a fragrance that transports me to an old but elegant house, where the decoration is dominated by old woods and leather. Where the golden light of the sunset shines and where everything is refined and tasteful. It’s elegant and fine, where pink pepper and bergamot dominate in the opening, but afterwards everything is wrapped in a very fine and perfect oud wood within the framework of the notes surrounding it, which are sandalwood and musk. Truly one of my favorite fragrances!!
As cold as Montale’s Aoud Leather, as refined and exquisite as Tom Ford’s Oud Wood…!!!!! A new favorite on my list of absolute best fragrances!!!!!! Elegance… superb! PS: I don’t consider it UNISEX, but absolutely masculine.
As icy as Montale’s Aoud Leather and as refined as Tom Ford’s Oud Wood… A new staple on my list of favorites! Pure elegance, magnificent. PS: I don’t see it as unisex; it’s 100% masculine.
Unmitigated aberration.
I have to say that for me, it was a complete disaster. I don’t know what’s going on with this fragrance and with some other Creed ones that just don’t work for me at all. I don’t know if it’s due to a specific component, but I must be anosmic or I’m missing something. It’s a kind of fresh “cologne” where I can barely perceive some very faint citrus notes, with some green notes like angelica that are also quite timid, and a dry-down where you only intuit a bit of wood and the classic cheap, synthetic white musk that gives the fragrance that clean, soapy aura. P.S.: Review on a full 75ml bottle. There’s no oud or anything resinous or oriental here, and I didn’t understand the name of the fragrance. The feeling of very low quality and the price is a joke.
Creed Royal Oud presents a version of oud that is extremely westernized, where the blend is perfectly polished and suitable to please from the very first moment. The opening marks its territory with very natural citrus notes, Sicilian lemon and bergamot playing off each other, followed by a spicy sensation from the pepper that makes you hook on; on my skin, these sensations lasted around 2 hours, after which the fragrance begins to turn warm and cozy. During its heart stage, I can appreciate the sandalwood very clearly and something of green notes very hidden but almost imperceptible. Towards the final dry-down, the woods take the lead of the entire blend and maintain it until it slowly fades into a skin-scent sensation that is slightly earthy. Creed Royal Oud is, for me, the Oud fragrance that isn’t Oud but wants to be. The downsides, like almost all Creeds, is the price, but as I always think, do all the sensations it provokes not make it worth it? The tone of Creed Royal Oud transports us to dark and refined places where the wearer’s personality will enhance the fragrance, hypnotizing those around them. “Hello, I’m Lodin, Prince Ventrue of Chicago, and now we’re going to get to know each other…”
Royal Oud is a daring and complex fragrance to a superlative degree, as it escapes the formulas and accords where oud is normally associated with incense, spices, or florals. Royal Oud is daring to the point of total confusion, however, it is an atypical proposal and perhaps the only one that proposes aesthetic accords in a risky way, and whose value is hard not to recognize. Its citrus opening, intensely spiced by the pink pepper note, creates a sharp fragrance with reminiscences of classic citrus scents; however, this sensation, by the way very long-lasting (at least on my skin), feels murky and slightly dirty to the point of being almost annoying, where the oud is not precisely dominant, rather it’s just another ingredient in the formula. And it’s that the quality and density of the notes are so good that they resemble traffic on a narrow street where everyone wants to get out, creating a sensation of saturation. The long life of Royal Oud gradually decreases from the bright citrus effect towards sparse and dry woods that have been touched by a sober and vintage citrus; the oud is barely perceptible in this stage. Royal Oud has made me think it’s not for young tastes; on the contrary, it’s a tough and magnificent fragrance with an adult focus. In short, the advice would be to try before buying, as its price is high like all proposals from the English house, however, in exchange, it offers extremely high quality and a long life. Projection is medium to high and over 10 hours of life, the last 4 hours as a skin scent depending on how much we atomize.
I have to say, for me, it was a total disaster. I don’t know what’s going on with this fragrance or some other Creeds; it just doesn’t work for me at all. Maybe a specific component, but I must be anosmic or I’m missing something. It’s a sort of fresh cologne where I barely perceive very faint citrus and green notes like angelica, which are also shy. The dry-down only hints at a bit of wood and that classic, cheap, synthetic white musk that gives it a clean, soapy aura. P.S.: Review on a full 75ml bottle. There’s no oud or any resinous or oriental notes here, and I didn’t understand the fragrance’s name. The sense of quality is very low, and the price is a joke.
I don’t get why they call it ROYAL OUD CREED if it smells nothing like oud; it could confuse anyone searching for that note. It starts with bright citrus—lemon and bergamot—with a spicy kick of pepper that adds elegance and class. Then it blends with herbs like galbanum and angelica: the former gives a balsamic, piney, camphoraceous green, almost turpentine-like, with a luminous musk; the angelica is spicy, aniseed, and very lively. It’s a beautiful creation, citrusy, herbaceous, and woody, but that wood is green, tender, and refreshing—nothing of the deep, warm depth found in Oriental ouds. It feels like they put the wrong name on the label; it should be ROYAL WOOD CREED, which sounds similar and better describes the fragrance’s vibe. Pity that the sillage and longevity don’t justify the exorbitant price; even though I tested it as a sample, if I had to pay full price, I’d choose cheaper options with similar quality.
I don’t understand the ROYAL OUD CREED designation, as I never detect any oud, and I think it might cause confusion among people considering buying it because of the explicit Oud note in the name. The opening is a brilliant combination of citrus notes, based on lemon and bergamot, slightly spiced with pepper. It’s a balanced and well-constructed accord that projects an image of elegance and class. Quickly, it blends with herbal notes of galbanum and angelica. The galbanum adds an intense coniferous green color with balsamic and camphoraceous aromas, slightly turpentine-like, which intensify with the contribution of a luminous musk. The touch of angelica adds a spicy, anise-like, penetrating, and lively note. It’s a beautiful citrus, herbal, and woody work. The wood of CREED ROYAL OUD is green, tender, juicy, and refreshing. It’s not a wood in the style of deep, warm, oriental woody families. It seems like there was a printing error on the bottle label and the actual name should have been ROYAL WOOD CREED, which sounds quite similar and, however, reflects the vibe of this fragrance much better. Unfortunately, neither the trail nor the longevity match the exorbitant price. I’ve only been able to access it via a sample, but if I had to pay its considerable price, I’d choose other, more affordable perfumes with similar quality.
Just received it at home. My bottle doesn’t have the “Millesime” designation like the photo, I’m not sure exactly what the difference is between the two. I had already tried this jewel in a sample a few weeks ago, where it had to compete with other niche Oud perfumes, and I loved the scent: it’s elegant, refined, clean, addictive; truly, it’s the scent of a king or a prince. I think it will be one of my favorite fragrances, especially for going to work on special days, as it’s discreet in projection and unlike any other perfume I’ve smelled; whoever smells it won’t forget you in a hurry. The only thing I’d improve is the longevity; for the price, it should be greater, but hey, just reapply at 4 or 5 hours if you want it to last all day.
I love it. It arrived as an original sample. When I first tried it, being new to fragrances and not knowing what oud is, it smelled like wet earth and an old man. I gifted it to my dad for special occasions, telling him it smelled distinguished. Today, with more knowledge, I wore it again and fell in love at first sight. Obviously, I didn’t steal the decant, but I sprayed it on my arm and hope it lasts forever. Goodbye, shower. Edit 03/28: I bought the bottle. It came with a decant of Green Irish Tweed; I tested both and concluded that the one smelling like a forest is ROYAL OUD. It’s like walking through a humid jungle after rain, finding moss-covered trunks. In short, it smells like wet green woods. It’s gorgeous. It lasts forever, and the oud kicks in as it dries. GIT seemed nice, but it doesn’t transport me to that green Irish forest. I already have Cool Water, which covers the ‘marine’ scent.
I absolutely love this perfume. It arrived as an authentic sample. When I first tried it, I was a total novice when it came to fragrances and had no idea what Oud was. To me, it smelled like wet earth and an older man, which is why I gifted it to my father for special occasions because it smells distinguished. Today, knowing a bit more about fragrances and their notes, I smelled it again and it was love at first sight. Obviously, I didn’t steal the decant, but I did swipe a spray on my arm that I hope lasts forever. Goodbye, shower. Edit 03/28. I bought the bottle, searched high and low until I found it. It came with a decant of Green Irish Tweed, so I tested both and concluded that the one that truly smells like the forest is ROYAL OUD. It’s like walking through a humid jungle, freshly rained on, and finding tree trunks covered in moss. In short, it smells like wet green woods. It’s beautiful. It lasts forever, and the oud is definitely there as it dries. So GIT seemed nice, but it doesn’t transport me to that green Irish forest everyone talks about. I have Cool Water, so I’m all set for the “marine” scent.
Gentlemen, the most elegant perfume I’ve ever smelled. This is impressive. It’s a repurchase staple.
Guys, this is the most elegant perfume I’ve ever smelled. This is impressive. A staple purchase.
Royal Oud is the last reputable Creed I’ve tried. Very particular and unique. Woody, slightly smoky, spiced, and medicinal (due to the oud), robust and sharp. I really detect a note of wild berries, nothing sweet, mixed with a dirty, slightly green musk (I think it’s angelica, I distinguish it because it’s in Les Jeux Sont Faits). Ultra-elegant, it would be the niche alter ego of Givenchy Gentleman EDP (not similar, just the vibe). Purely masculine, for cool climates, good performance and trail, just like the dry-down. A pleasant surprise. It’s known that Creed has been questionable, but this is worth it, I’d buy it without a doubt. Note: 9/10.
@J.O.S.F the perfumer behind this masterpiece is Julien Rasquinet.
I absolutely loved it. Reminds me a lot of Nishane B612. Smells great, with authority but easy to wear. Creamy woods with an earthy touch.
Same family as Boucheron/Dune Dior, a very ‘acidic’ citrus due to the pink pepper, only in the opening. Then it accentuates, becoming more powdery and floral. Very 80s, doesn’t fit current trends, it’s for veterans, not for young people. You have to overapply because it’s not potent. I see it more for ladies or women over 40.
The true masterpiece of Creed (and it has plenty of competition). 10 out of 10.
Sensations found… The oud presentation is original, but it has shadows. I love that medicinal aftertaste of the oud (classic oud+rose opening), here it’s herbal, which is why some don’t find it. They removed the unpleasant parts and turned it into herbal-green-aromatic to please everyone. There’s more wood than the name suggests. Sounds very Creed: slightly citrusy herbal woods. But if I like it, why do I have doubts? It’s absolutely subtle. I feel it upon application and an hour later, then close to the skin until after 4 hours I feel nothing. I don’t understand how 154 people voted on one huge site and 432 on another major one.
Creed Royal Oud: when it comes to elegance, this is one of the best. An adult, modern fragrance (not vintage). Opens sweet with sparkling citrus, moves to a refined and subtle oud, nothing aggressive or fecal, light and accompanied by citrus and musk. Extremely elegant and fine aroma. Delicious, pure James Bond style. Demonstrates luxury, confidence, and good taste. For men 35 and up. Not old-school, but for people with class. Wear anytime, preferably at night, though it works well during the day. I absolutely loved it. Scent: 10. Projection: good for 3 hours. Longevity: 8 hours. Recommended.
If we’re talking about elegance, this is the benchmark. It’s a fragrance with an adult character, but nothing vintage; quite the opposite, very modern. It starts sweet with sparkling citrus, moving into a refined and subtle oud—nothing aggressive or fecal, but light and accompanied by musk. It achieves an incredibly fine and elegant aroma, delicious for showing off class in a James Bond style. It exudes luxury, confidence, and good taste. I see it as ideal for men 35 and up. Note: it’s not an old or old-school fragrance; it’s for people with class. I wear it all year, preferably at night, though it works well during the day too. I’ve loved it. Scent: 10. Projection: good for 3 hours. Longevity: 8 hours. Recommended.
Easy description: Old Money. I don’t detect oud, but rather refined cedar with non-pungent citrus, a touch of green and pink pepper. The base is wood, pink pepper, and a trail of musk. Smells like a cedar closet closed for months with papers inside. Refined, elegant, warm, sober, and non-intrusive.
Brutal quality, though the name is misleading: there’s very little oud. Smelling it is like a tweed-jacketed gentleman with leather elbow patches and deep pockets approaches. It lacks sensuality; it’s not for conquering, but for projecting status and hierarchy, like a corporate boss. It has a vintage vibe, I recommend it for men over 55. 8/10.
I’ve lost faith in Creed until now. This and Millésime Impérial arrived, and I fell in love at first sniff. Soft citrus opening (almost imperceptible) yielding to cedar, sandalwood, and musk (the oud is barely noticeable too). Very elegant, perfect for cool nights, suits any age.
Creed Royal Oud is a classic fougère that is very woodsy. It starts dry, woody, slightly herbal, bitter, and dark, but with a citrusy and fresh part that contrasts with the bitterness, giving a bright and lively aroma. Over time, the fresh lemon and bergamot notes decline along with the dark tones, giving way to the woods and pink pepper. Although a classic citrus and herbal essence remains, the pink pepper takes the lead with the cedar. Gradually, sandalwood emerges with dry and creamy facets. In the background, a smoky and slightly dark note is perceived, possibly from the oud, almost undetectable from a distance. This classic and vintage perfume evokes an old house in a wet, green forest. It lasts 6 to 8 hours with medium projection.
I like it, but it doesn’t enchant me. It’s a good, elegant perfume that can be worn in any season except the hottest months. Expensive for what it offers; there are better perfumes at a lower price.
If I had to summarize it: woods with fresh herbal touches. It’s very classic without reinventing the wheel, but sometimes that’s not necessary. It feels high-quality. I highlight the citrus opening, which is incredibly rich but ephemeral, lasting only seconds. Then comes the dry-down: herbal woods. The herbal part is sharp; even for me, who likes it, it’s a bit shocking, though once it settles, you forget about it. Definitely not something to buy blindly. What’s the negative? It’s one of the worst things tried in recent times regarding performance; after three hours, it’s hard to smell. Without a doubt, this perfume helped earn Creed its bad reputation. Tested courtesy of Mithrandir.
Creed Royal Oud is a majestic fragrance that combines oud with citrus and musk, projecting elegance and class always. The scent is sophisticated and refined, an excellent option for a classic profile with a contemporary touch. The quality is exceptional, and the performance is very good, staying present all day. Although the price is high, as with most of the house, in my opinion, it’s worth it. I not only like it a lot but consider it a masterpiece worthy of a good collection.
Simply a very rich and easy-to-please fragrance for temperate or cold weather, and it works well in autumn around 20 degrees. It’s memorable; everyone will remember you. I’ll be buying it again; I’m one of those people whose perfumes don’t last long.
This scent has already been cloned or inspired 95% by AFNAN Highness Ill Green. It smells intensely of graphite pencil with green moss notes, a bit of Polo Green, and a touch of Solo Loewe. It’s rare, addictive, mature, and elegant.
Well, this is a delight! If it were more potent and had more presence, I’d give it a 10. It radiates class, cleanliness, and elegance; it has no flaws.
Royal Oud doesn’t contain real oud and could arguably be called Royal Wood; don’t blame the marketing. It’s not for oud lovers; there are only faint brushstrokes of a very transparent accord. The fact that it’s not natural doesn’t mean it lacks expensive ingredients; it has them. It’s elegant and soft, featuring woods ranging from clean cedar to green guaiac and a cashmere-like note that mimics a subtle oud. Citrus adds brightness, coumarin provides a sweet floral touch like jasmine, and a residual vetiver that isn’t too dark closes the composition. Musk adds cleanliness. In my opinion, it’s one of the best Creeds, if not the best. Suitable for all seasons and any occasion as a signature. Compositionally, it’s a masterpiece—a transparent woodsy blend. Moderate projection, medium-to-good longevity (8 hours on skin). Very exclusive and leaves a mark.
Reminds me of Prada Luna Rossa Black and Amouage Reflection Man: elegant, fresh, clean, and distinctive. At first, it smells a lot like Costa Azzura Parfum due to the lime and woods, and it also has a green note that later fades almost to base. It probably doesn’t perform much given its composition, but for occasions where it fits perfectly, it delivers enough. Where is the oud in its olfactory pyramid? I don’t see it in the commercial, nor in Versace Oud Noir or Acqua di Parma Oud.
Green fragrance with barely perceptible oud; nothing dark or heavy. Elegant and refined, ideal for mature individuals and very formal styles. Perfect for the office: it doesn’t overpower but carries a solemn presence. Lasts 5 to 7 hours on clothes, and on skin, it stays in a close olfactory bubble. Reapplying in the afternoon carried it through the entire day and night. What a great perfume!
