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 with good taste. It is elegant and fine, where pink pepper and bergamot dominate in the opening, but afterwards everything is enveloped 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 favourite fragrances!!
As icy as Montale’s Aoud Leather and as refined as Tom Ford’s Oud Wood… A new staple on my list of favourites! Pure elegance, superb. PS: I don’t see it as unisex; it’s 100% masculine.
As cold as Montale’s Aoud Leather, as refined and exquisite as Tom Ford’s Oud Wood…!!!!! A new favourite on my list of absolute best fragrances!!!!!! Elegance… superb! PS: I do not consider it UNISEX, but absolutely masculine.
Unmitigated aberration.
Royal Oud is a daring and complex fragrance to the superlative degree, as it escapes the formulas and accords where oud is normally used in association with incense, spice or floral notes. Royal Oud is daring to the point of total bewilderment, however, it is an atypical proposal and perhaps the only one that poses aesthetic accords in a risky way, whose value is difficult not to recognise. Its citrus opening and intensely spicy note of pink pepper sets up an acute fragrance with reminiscence to classic citrus, 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 is just another ingredient within the formula. And it is that the quality and density of the notes are so good that they resemble motor traffic on a narrow street where everyone wants to get out, propitiating a sensation of saturation. The long life of Royal Oud decreases gradually 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 that it is not for young tastes, on the contrary, it is a tough and portentous fragrance with an adult focus. In short, the advice would be to try before buying, as its price is high like all the proposals from the English house, however in return it offers extremely high quality and a long life. Medium to high projection and more than 10 hours of life, the last 4 hours at skin level as we have atomised.
I have to say that for me it was a total disaster. I don’t know what’s wrong with this fragrance or some others by Creed; it simply doesn’t work for me. Perhaps 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 notes and green notes like angelica, also shy. The dry-down only hints at a little wood and that classic cheap, synthetic white musk that gives it a clean, soapy aura. P.S.: Review of a full 75ml bottle. There is no oud or anything resinous or oriental here, and I didn’t understand the fragrance’s name. The sense of quality is very low and the price is a joke.
Creed Royal Oud presents a version of oud that is extremely westernised, where the blend is perfectly polished and suitable to please from the very first moment. The opening marks its territory with very natural citrus, Sicilian lemon and bergamot playing off each other, followed by a spicy sensation from the pepper that makes you hook; on my skin these sensations lasted around 2 hours, after which the fragrance begins to turn warm and cosy. 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 is not Oud but wants to be so. 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 personality of the wearer will enhance the fragrance, hypnotising those around them. ‘Hello, I am Lodin, Prince Ventrue of Chicago, and now we are going to get to know each other…’
I have to say that for me it was a complete disaster. I don’t know what’s wrong with this fragrance and with some other Creed ones that simply don’t work for me. I don’t know if it’s due to a specific component, but I must be anosmic or I am missing something. It is a kind of fresh ‘cologne’, in which I can barely perceive very faint citrus, with green notes like angelica also quite timid, with a dry down where only a hint of wood and the classic cheap, synthetic white musk is intimated, giving that clean and soapy aura to the fragrance. P.S.: Review on a full 75ml bottle. There is 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, a joke.
I don’t understand why it’s called Royal Oud by Creed if it smells nothing of oud; it could confuse anyone looking for that note. It opens with bright citrus notes of lemon and bergamot, a spicy kick of pepper that adds elegance and class. Then it blends with herbs like galbanum and angelica: the former contributes a balsamic, coniferous green with a camphoraceous, almost turpentine-like quality and a luminous musk; the angelica is spicy, aniseed, and very lively. It’s a beautiful composition, citrusy, herbaceous, and woody, but that wood is green, tender, and refreshing, lacking the deep warmth of Eastern ouds. It seems the wrong name was put on the label; it should be Royal Wood by Creed, which sounds similar and better describes the fragrance’s character. It’s a pity the trail and longevity don’t justify the exorbitant price; although I tested it as a sample, if I had to buy it, I’d choose cheaper options with similar quality.
I do not understand the ROYAL OUD CREED designation, as I detect nothing of oud at any point, and I believe it could cause confusion among those considering purchasing it due to the explicit Oud note in its name. The opening is a brilliant combination of citrus notes, based on lemon and bergamot, lightly spiced with pepper. It is a balanced and well-constructed accord that projects an image of elegance and class. It quickly blends with herbal notes of galbanum and angelica. The galbanum incorporates an intense coniferous green colour with balsamic and camphoraceous aromas, slightly turpentine-like, which intensify with the contribution of a luminous musk. The stroke of angelica adds a spicy, anise-like, penetrating and lively touch. It is a beautiful citrus, herbal and woody work. The wood of ROYAL OUD DE CREED is green, tender, juicy and refreshing. It is not a wood in the style of deep, warm oriental woods. It seems there may have been an error in printing the bottle labels and that the authentic name should have been ROYAL WOOD CREED, which sounds quite similar and, however, reflects the air of this fragrance much better. Unfortunately, neither the trail nor the longevity match the exorbitant price. I have been able to access it via a sample, but if I had to pay its considerable price, I would choose other more affordable perfumes with similar quality.
I have just received it at home. My bottle does not have the ‘Millesime’ designation like the photo, I’m not quite sure 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 is elegant, refined, clean, addictive, truly the scent of a king or a prince. I think it will be one of my favourite fragrances, especially for going to work on special days, as it is discreet in projection yet unlike any other perfume I have smelled; whoever smells it won’t forget you in a hurry. The only thing I would improve is the longevity; for the price, it should be greater, but well, simply reapplying at 4 or 5 hours is enough if you want it to last all day.
I absolutely love this perfume. It arrived as a genuine sample. When I first tried it, I was a complete novice in fragrances and had no idea what Oud was. I smelled wet earth and an older man. That’s why I gifted it to my father for special occasions, as it smells distinguished. Today, knowing a bit more about fragrances and recognising some 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 which I hope lasts forever. Goodbye shower. Edit 28/03. I bought the bottle, searched until I found it. It came with a decant of Green Irish Tweed, so I tested both, concluding that the one that truly smells of the forest is ROYAL OUD. It’s like walking through a damp jungle, freshly rained upon, and finding tree trunks covered in moss. In short, it smells of wet green woods. It’s beautiful. It lasts forever, and I can definitely smell the oud as it dries. Therefore, GIT seemed nice, but it doesn’t transport me to that green Irish forest everyone talks about. I have Cool Water, so I already have the ‘marine’ scent covered.

It lasts an eternity and the oud becomes noticeable as it dries. GIT seemed nice, but it doesn’t transport me to that green Irish forest. I have Cool Water and already cover the ‘marine’ scent.
Gentlemen, the most elegant perfume I have ever smelled. This is impressive. A staple purchase.

Royal Oud is the last reputable Creed I have tried. Very particular and unique. Woody, slightly smoky, spiced and medicinal (due to the oud), robust and sharp. I feel a note of wild berries, nothing sweet, mixed with a dirty and slightly green musk (I think it is angelica, I distinguish it by being in Les Jeux Sont Faits). Ultra-elegant, it would be the alter ego of Givenchy Gentleman EDP in the niche world (not similar, just the imprint). Purely masculine, for cool to chilly climates, good performance and a delicious trail, just like the dry down. A pleasant surprise. It is known that Creed has been questionable, but this is worth it; I would have it without doubt. Note: 9/10.
@J.O.S.F the perfumer behind this masterpiece is Julien Rasquinet.
I have loved it. It reminds me very much of Nishane B612. Smells wonderful, with authority but easy to wear. Creamy woods with an earthy touch.
The true masterpiece of Creed (and it has much competition). 10 out of 10.
Sensations found… The presentation of the oud is original, but it has shadows. I love that medicinal aftertaste of the oud (classic oud+rose opening), here it is herbal, which is why some don’t find it. They have removed the unpleasant aspects and turned it into herbal-green-aromatic to please everyone. There is more wood than the name suggests. It sounds very Creed: slightly citrusy herbal woods. But if I like it, why do I have doubts? It is 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 155 people voted on a huge website and 432 on another heavy one.
Same family as Boucheron and Dior Dune, a very ‘acidic’ citrus due to the pink pepper, only in the opening. Then it evolves, becoming more powdery and floral. Very 80s, it doesn’t fit the current trend; it’s for veterans, not for the young. You have to overapply because it isn’t potent. I see it more for ladies or women over 40.
Royal Oud Creed: when we talk about elegance, this is one of the best. A fragrance of adult character, modern (not vintage). It opens sweet with sparkling citrus, moves to a refined and subtle oud, nothing aggressive or faecal, light and accompanied by citrus and musk. A sumptuously elegant and fine aroma. Delicious, pure James Bond style. It demonstrates luxury, confidence and good taste. For men from 35 years onwards. Not old-fashioned, but for people with class. I use it in any season, preferably at night, though it works well during the day. I have loved it. Scent: 10. Projection: good for 3 hours. Longevity: 8 hours. Recommended.
If we’re talking about elegance, this is a benchmark. It’s a fragrance with an adult character, but nothing vintage; on the contrary, very modern. It opens sweet with sparkling citrus notes before moving to a refined and subtle oud, nothing aggressive or faecal, but light and accompanied by musk. It achieves an extremely fine and elegant aroma, delicious to wear with class in the James Bond style. It demonstrates luxury, confidence, and good taste. I see it as ideal for men aged 35 and over. Note: it’s not an old or old-school fragrance; it’s for people with class. I wear it all year round, 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 to describe: Old-Money. I detect no oud, but refined cedar with citrus, nothing sharp, a touch of green and pink pepper. The base is woody, pink pepper and a trail of musk. It smells like a cedar-lined wardrobe closed for months with papers inside. Refined, elegant, warm, sober and unobtrusive.
Brutal quality, although the name is misleading: there is very little oud. Upon smelling it, it’s as if a gentleman in a tweed jacket, leather elbow patches and plenty of money were to approach. It lacks sensuality; it’s not for conquest but for projecting status and hierarchy, like a company boss. It has a vintage air; I recommend it for men over 55. 8/10.
I’ve lost all faith in Creed until this and Millésime Impérial arrived: instant love at first sniff. A soft, almost imperceptible citrus opening that yields to cedar, sandalwood and musk (the oud is barely noticeable too). Very elegant, ideal for cool to chilly evenings, suits any age.
Creed Royal Oud is a classic fougère that is very woody. It starts dry, woody, slightly herbal, bitter, and dark, but with a citrus and fresh part that contrasts with the bitterness, giving a bright and lively scent. Over time, the fresh part of lemon and bergamot declines along with the dark tone, giving way to the woods and pink pepper. Although a classic citrus and herbal essence is preserved, the pink pepper takes the lead with the cedar. Gradually, the sandalwood appears with dry and creamy facets. In the background, a smoky and slightly dark note is perceived, possibly from the oud, almost undetectable at a distance. This classic and vintage perfume evokes an old house in a damp, green forest. It lasts 6 to 8 hours with moderate projection.
I like it but it doesn’t enchant me. It is a good, elegant perfume and 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 summarise it: woods with fresh herbal touches. It is very classic without inventing anything, but sometimes it isn’t necessary. It feels high quality. I highlight the citrus of the opening, which are exquisite but fleeting, lasting only seconds. Then comes the dry down: woody and herbal. The herbal part is sharp; even to me who likes it, it results in a bit of a shock, although once it settles, you forget about it. Definitely not something to buy blindly. What is the negative point? It is one of the worst things tried in recent times regarding performance; after three hours, it already costs effort to feel it. Without a doubt, this perfume helped Creed earn its bad reputation. Tested courtesy of Mithrandir.
Creed Royal Oud is a majestic fragrance that combines oud with citrus and musks, 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 very good, staying present all day. Although the price is high, as with almost the whole house, in my opinion it is worth it. Not only do I like it very much, but it is a masterpiece worthy of a good collection.
Simply a very rich and easy-to-please fragrance for temperate or cold weather, and it also works well in autumn at 20 degrees. It is memorable; everyone remembers you. I will buy it again; I am one of those people for whom perfumes don’t last long.
This scent has already been cloned or inspired to 95% by AFNAN Highness Ill Green. It smells intensely of graphite pencil with green moss notes, something of Polo Green, and a touch of Solo Loewe. It is rare, addictive, mature, and elegant.
Well, there is a delight here! If it were more potent and had more presence, I would give it a 10. It radiates class, neatness, and elegance; it has no flaws.
Reminds me of Prada Luna Rossa Black and Amouage Reflection Man: elegant, fresh, clean, and distinctive. At first, it smells strongly of Costa Azzura Parfum due to the lime and woods, and also has some green notes that later fade almost to base. Probably doesn’t perform much given its composition, but for occasions where it fits perfectly, it provides enough. Where is the oud in its olfactory pyramid? I don’t see it in the commercial, nor in Versace Oud Noir, nor in Acqua di Parma Oud.
Royal Oud doesn’t contain real oud and could be called Royal Wood; no need to blame marketing. It’s not for oud lovers; there are only fleeting touches of a very transparent accord. The fact that it’s not natural doesn’t mean it lacks expensive ingredients; it has them. It is elegant and soft, featuring woods ranging from clean cedar to green guaiac and a cashmere that mimics a subtle oud. The citrus adds brightness, coumarin provides a sweet floral touch like jasmine, and a residual vetiver that isn’t too dark closes the composition. The musks give it cleanliness. In my opinion, it is one of the best Creeds, if not the best. Suitable for all year round and any occasion as a signature. Compositionally, it is a masterpiece: a transparent woody structure. Moderate projection, medium/good longevity (8 hours on skin). Very exclusive and leaves a mark.
A 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 is noticeable with solemnity. Lasts 5 to 7 hours on clothes and stays close to the skin as an olfactory bubble. Reapplying in the afternoon carried it through the entire day and night. What a wonderful perfume!
