A luxurious and opulent fragrance featuring precious oud and rose. Part of Creed's prestigious collection with exceptional quality and longevity.
What People Say
The oud here is smooth and honeyed rather than barnyard funky, making it accessible to Western noses without losing authenticity
Rose and saffron create a luxurious Middle Eastern vibe that feels genuinely opulent rather than synthetic
Sandalwood base provides creamy richness that elevates the composition beyond typical rose-oud combinations
Pink pepper adds subtle spice that prevents the florals from becoming cloying
Projection is disappointingly weak for a $300+ fragrance - becomes a skin scent within hours
The rose can turn soapy and cleaning-product-like in hot weather
Overpriced compared to niche alternatives that deliver similar oud-rose profiles
Great for
Oud enthusiasts who want something refined and office-appropriate, plus those seeking a luxurious rose fragrance with Middle Eastern character.
Not for
Anyone wanting bold projection or those put off by prominent rose notes in their fragrances.
Longevity
8-10 hours but becomes very close to skin after 3-4 hours
Projection
Moderate for first hour, then stays within personal bubble
Value
Quality is there but you're paying heavily for the Creed name - similar compositions available for half the price
