Oud Wood’s Superior
A single manly tear of happiness has rolled down my face. I love Oud Wood, but while I don’t particularly care about price, I do care about performance—and for me, Oud Wood is definitely lacking in that area. Kredo is the “elixir” version of Oud Wood in its intensity. It has a slightly animalic bite to it, but it isn’t fecal. It projects wonderfully, lasts over 10 hours on skin, and stays on clothes for days. While not an exact clone, in this stranger on the internet’s opinion, this is the best take on this particular scent profile that I currently own.

Another Nishane winner
I've never tried TF Oud Wood, so won't be comparing Kredo to it. Kredo is another winner from Nishane. Spicy opening after which there's a subtle addition of a floral-apricot type of accord. On the dry down, the oud, suede and sandalwood make their appearance forming a very pleasant, creamy scent with subtle sweetness. No stinky oud here. Kredo has great depth and substance, making the wearing experience very pleasant.

Longevity is very good along with great sillage. The scent in the air is really nice. Masculine fragrance. Overall, a big thumbs up.

Similar to TF- Oud Wood & Thameen Carved Oud
One of the best quality oud and cardamom perfumes I've ever smelled. This combination reminds me of Tom Ford Oud Wood. And of course this smells better quality in my opinion. The oud was used very lightly, as if cardamom was added to small pieces of wood that burned crispy. It gets soft and creamy towards the end. If you like oud wood, it will be a great accompaniment to your cold days. Well done Nishane ! It last 6-8 hours with good projection. Silage is 2-3 feet which is not bad for this type of fragrance. I would definitely suggest to try this fragrance.

Great masculine scent
I always wanted an oud wood like scent (a bit better quality than oud noir which I own and really enjoy) but can't afford the TF and have concerns about it'd longevity. I was going to buy carved oud, but again was concerned about the longevity. I ended up deciding for this as it was the less pricy option for a 100ml bottle and it had excellent reviews. I've also been impressed with nishane offerings in the past (Own and love hacivat and have sampled a few others). I have to say this is exactly what I was looking for. It's perfectly blended and has very good longevity. It's gets compliments too, On the first day I wore it I received a compliment from a co worker about 4hrs in asking what I was wearing and demanding I tell her what it is so she can buy it for her boyfriend. I wore it a few days later and also had someone ask me what I was wearing, this time a guy.

Oud Wood's Heir Apparent: Kredo Delivers Where TF Falters
The Gist: If you love Tom Ford's iconic Oud Wood but are frustrated by its recent performance issues, look no further than Kredo. This fragrance captures the sophisticated, woody essence of Oud Wood, adding a welcome layer of depth with cardamom and warm spices. Crucially, Kredo boasts significantly better longevity and projection, lasting a full workday and leaving a noticeable trail. While best suited for cooler weather, Kredo is a worthy successor for those seeking the Oud Wood experience with the staying power it once had.

Got to know you from Oud Wood, but you're much better. A well rounded scent. My signature scent.

Aromatic, spicy opening. Dries oud & sandalwood with a prominent smoky suede. Some hints of creamy/sweet artemisia (like in Papilefiko).

Very similar mid and base as PDM Layton Exclusive. Layton opens more fresh then migrates to become similar to Kredo mid. Prefer PDM except price.

Supposed to be similar to Oud Wood Eau de Parfum, This is much more resinous, I prefer Oud Wood!

A slightly animalic and powdery Oriental leathery-woody Fall fragrance, balanced by a bright and peppery spicy-sweet opening. Masculine.

IMO the closest alternative to Oud Wood. It's slightly fruitier and a little sweeter, but it fills the same niche of westernised, safe oud.

More like Oud Wood Parfum than the EDP. Stronger but lacking the airy nature of the OG. A little pungent to me as well.
