What Wearers Say
Armaf Club de Nuit Urban Man Elixir
One owner likes the fresh, spicy opening, sweetness and ambery drydown.
Some wearers enjoy a Sauvage-like freshness with an added fruity impression.
One sampler dislikes the extra fruitiness and finds it less like Sauvage than expected.
Another wearer finds it stronger than they enjoy wearing.
Creed Royal Oud
One wearer loves the herbal opening and dry, textured cedar drydown.
Another wearer likes the cedar-and-pepper character in the air but dislikes smelling it close up.
That wearer finds little recognizable oud in their bottle.
The Verdict
Royal Oud is our pick, because Urban Man Elixir doesn't list oud. Creed's is grapefruit and cardamom, then angelica and geranium, over oud, incense, benzoin and cedar. Angelica and incense make it cool and churchy. Urban Man Elixir is citrus, pink pepper and saffron with lavender and elemi, over ambroxan, amber and labdanum. It's sweet and ambery, not woody. Choose it for that, not for oud.
