Elegance in Fragrance Form: Oud in Royal Splendor
The trend is now clear: Most Oud fragrances take a sweet path, with notes like rose or raspberry joining the Oud. A great combination, but due to the abundance of these scents, nothing really exciting anymore. Therefore, I set out to find an Oud fragrance without excessive sweetness that would also appeal to those who usually don't have much to do with Oud. A brief search led me to a hot candidate: Royal Oud from the niche label par excellence - Creed. The fragrance pyramid matched what I had envisioned, and so I made my way to my trusted perfumery.
Upon arrival, I immediately spotted Royal Oud, took a test strip, and sprayed it on. My first reaction: pure disappointment. The opening was exactly what you would expect from a typical "designer opening" - alcoholic and hardly anything else to smell. Nevertheless, I sprayed Royal Oud on my wrist and left the store.
About half an hour later, I noticed a wonderful scent. At first, I thought it came from the friendly older gentleman next to me on the train, who often wears an inexplicably good men's fragrance. However, it took a while for me to realize that the smell was coming from my wrist. It was Royal Oud!!!
After the weak start, the fragrance now met my expectations: The spiciness, which is clearly attributable to clove and cardamom, blends in an ombré transition with the main actor Oud. A subtle note of incense is also noticeable, adding even more nobility to the scent. Amber and musk provide a pleasant finish that my nose could happily be exposed to nonstop.
In keeping with the epithet "Royal," I only use this fragrance for special occasions, and you can't imagine how often I've been approached about it. Even outsiders recognize the uniqueness of this royal scent.
H/S have so far been completely sufficient for my purposes. I cannot understand the negative comments. In my opinion, this fragrance is a true work of art. Anyone with the necessary funds should definitely acquire it and enjoy this noble companion.

A true gentleman's fragrance! My female colleagues at the office have commented on this scent several times ;) It definitely gets a good reception because it’s not overwhelming :)
