Embrace Regal Persian Splendor: Creed Royal Oud Sample
Indulge in majestic refinement with Creed Royal Oud, the luxurious oriental fougère fragrance launched in 2011 by The House of Creed. Masterfully created by Olivier Creed and Julien Rasquinet, this timeless unisex masterpiece draws inspiration from the opulent architecture of ancient Persian palaces—evoking polished dark woods, marble halls, gold accents, and the spiritual grandeur of oud for a bold yet sophisticated aura of assured elegance.
Royal Oud opens with a vibrant, spicy-citrus burst of pink pepper, lemon, and Sicilian bergamot—delivering an invigorating, sparkling freshness that sets a regal tone. The heart reveals aromatic depth through cedar, angelica root, and galbanum—adding crisp, green-peppery intrigue and natural woody complexity. It dries down to a rich, velvety base of sandalwood, agarwood (oud), and musk—smooth, resinous, and subtly woody with that signature Creed polish and understated animalic glow.
Fragrance Notes – A Majestic Woody Journey
- Top Notes: Pink Pepper, Lemon, Sicilian Bergamot Spicy-citrus vibrancy bursts with invigorating royal sparkle.
- Heart Notes: Cedar, Angelica Root, Galbanum Crisp woods and green-peppery layers add sophisticated depth.
- Base Notes: Sandalwood, Agarwood (Oud), Musk Warm, creamy woods and subtle oud linger with refined tenacity.
Frequently hailed as one of Creed’s most sophisticated and underrated masterpieces, Royal Oud offers classy, airy woody-spicy charm with a subtle, refined oud presence (more elegant than barnyard-heavy varieties). Performance is moderate to strong: 7–10+ hours longevity (stronger in cooler weather or on clothes), moderate projection, and intimate-to-moderate sillage—evolving from sparkling citrus-pepper opening to a clean, musky-woody finish. Often praised as a more balanced, premium take on woody orientals, with comparisons to refined cedar-driven scents like Houbigant Bois Mystique or Gucci Pour Homme II, yet unmatched in Creed's natural quality and poise.

The opening of the fragrance isn’t for everyone but great once starts to dry down. Great performance.

Store corrected mistake - updated review
Initially I gave a low rating thinking the store didn’t respond to my email but they said it was in spam. They’re replacing some of the royal Oud that leaked out. As far as the cologne itself it takes waiting until dry down to really appreciate the scent. It has a very strong opening and not the most pleasant but after the cologne drys - man it’s a powerhouse. Some people say it smells like old money and I’m okay with that. It’s very sophisticated and complex. Warm, spicy, and sweet all at the same time. I don’t think it has any vanilla but that’s what it smells like to me. I’d say this is better that Aventus or at least more mature.

One of my favorites
I’ve had this before so I knew what I was getting. The 10 ml decants have a very good atomizers. Royal Oud is a woodsy powerhouse. It takes you on a journey with its many enjoyable layers and changes.

Amazing
This cologne is simply amazing. It's liquid gold. There is a heavy cedar influence here with a light oud backbone holding it together. An amazing scent.
