10/10 scent. My first oud and it was not a let down. The Price/Value is the only downside of this fragrance for me, it’s expensive. However, it lasts 6-8 hours for me, smells incredible & sophisticated. Would recommend to anyone willing to pay for the price!
Awesome fragrance! A very classy, gorgeously woody, musky, heady Oud scent. For me I couldn't justify the purchase as I wouldn't wear it often enough. I can't claim to be an authority or anything but you can't go far wrong with Creed I'm so impressed with their range on the whole.
Here's a re-review for me and I'm just going to comment briefly on how refreshing and bright the citrus is in the top of this fragrance, it really is gorgeous and long lasting. This fragrance should not be compared with other Oud's because although the oud is present, it's not what makes this scent great that dries down beautifully. For me it's a fresh, woody fragrance that is not a priority for the collection as it's so expensive but I'm sure I'll get it one day.
Powderly lemon bon bon-bergamot and sharp green-ish black pepper juxtaposed over sweet soft sandalwood and white musk.
Opens sharp peppery, green and lemony. Lemon quickly gives way to a sweetened powdery bergamot. pepperiness grows greener with a galbanum note that is pronounced without going over the top. Cedar comes in providing a bit of a woody backbone to the pepper in the mid as the powdery bergamot note dies down. A sweetened sandalwood and soft white musk grow in the base as the mid dies down. Leaves an almost vanillic sweetness on the skin after all else is gone.
