Creed Royal Oud Eau De Parfum

Creed Royal Oud Eau de Parfum was introduced in 2011 by Olivier Creed as an elegant and majestic tribute to the precious oud resin, blending it with a sophisticated composition of fresh citrus, aromatic spices, and rich woods. Inspired by the grandeur and opulence of Persian palaces, Royal Oud is designed to offer a refined and balanced take on oud—one that is luxurious yet approachable, making it a standout fragrance for both men and women seeking a timeless and versatile scent.

The fragrance opens with a sparkling and invigorating burst of pink pepper, bergamot, galbanum, and lime. These top notes create a fresh and slightly spicy introduction that immediately awakens the senses with lively citrus brightness and a subtle hint of green aromatic sharpness. This vibrant opening sets the stage for the complexity and warmth that follows.

At its heart, Royal Oud unveils a richly layered blend of angelica seed, cedarwood, cardamom, and clove. These middle notes deepen the fragrance with aromatic and spicy nuances, evoking the scent of a lush, royal garden filled with exotic spices and elegant woods. The angelica seed adds a unique herbal freshness, while the cedarwood and cardamom provide warmth and structure. Clove injects a delicate spicy warmth that enhances the fragrance’s sophistication.

The base of Royal Oud is a luxurious blend of musk, ambroxan, frankincense, guaiac wood, and oud. Here, the oud note is nuanced and refined rather than overpowering, woven seamlessly into a warm, resinous, and woody foundation. Musk and ambroxan contribute a clean, sensual softness, while frankincense adds a touch of smoky incense-like depth. Guaiac wood and oud give the base a rich, enduring woody character, ensuring the fragrance lingers with a polished and elegant finish.

Overall, Creed Royal Oud Eau de Parfum masterfully balances freshness, spice, and warmth around the precious oud note. Its moderate longevity and sillage make it suitable for both daytime and evening wear, adaptable to a variety of settings from professional environments to sophisticated social occasions. The fragrance’s unisex appeal and refined complexity make it a favorite among those who appreciate an oud scent that is luxurious yet subtle, traditional yet modern.
