Royal Oud is Creed’s woody Eau de Parfum with grapefruit and cardamom, an angelica-and-geranium heart, and a base of oud, incense, benzoin and cedarwood. It's oud dressed for a cathedral: incense and cedar make it cool and dry, nothing like a sweet rose-and-oud.
What Wearers Say
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.
Great for
Worth sampling if dry cedar and aromatic herbs appeal more than a sweet rose-and-oud blend.
Not for
Sample first if a prominent oud impression is the main feature you want.
