Royal Oud by Creed Fragrance / Cologne Review

A review of Royal Oud

Fresh woods with citrus overtones. Very little Oud in the beginning but develops into a smooth light oud fragrance that has some spice to it. Very high quality, regal fragrance that is warming. Light enough to wear in the heat and heavy enough to survive the cold.

Year round Fragrance
Best for Work or Occasions where a strong fragrance not recommended.
Varied longevity.. 2-4 hours of good projection, but lasts 10-12 closer to skin.
Suited for all ages

My Rating 7/10

Where did you hear that it may be going away? That would suck.

[dracdoc]

@hollywood7240 It may have been somebody at the Creed Boutique.. something about the cost of creation of the fragrance.. not positive yet though so its not definite.

Another legendary review! Love it! With Royal Oud I get alotttt of incense in the drydown. Have you tried Egoiste CC? The drydown of Egoiste CC is very similar to Royal Oud's drydown IMO.

@fristpartisan I have not tried Egoiste CC yet, will need to get my nose on it to compare them now

Awesome review Cody!

[FragranceBros]

great review man! we got a sample of this. it really is different for an oud fragrance--in a good way! :)

[VikingShaver]

Very nice review, definite thumbs up !

I like how you take the time to explain not just take the boring notes, but right away give your own opinion on the notes. Too many just read the notes in the frag - I like your personal take on the notes in this frag :) Thanks for taking the time. Claus from Denmark

Oud has been used in the east (middle adn Sub-continent) for years, glad to see the west is catching up. Also Creed created this for the Arab market.

How do I make drakkar noir last more than 10 mins on me? It seems like a great smell.
