Imagine mixture of 3 fragrances. Toni Iommi, Royal tobacco and Outlands. Then strip away fruitiness from TI, and thin out RT and Outlands. Remove all the challenging parts od Royal Tobacco, all the aromatic facets of Outlands and all the resinous sides from both. Overload it with cypriol, and you will get Oud Zarian. Name is completely missleading, i would like to know where is the oud in this creation. I have no idea where is Creed audience in this story, this has nothing to do with the Creed dna and legacy. Lets be real, this fragrance smells amazing, but if you are looking for originallity, stay away from it, i think for the price asked, it needs to be groundbraking release. Performance is nuclear as always with Cecile, but i would not place this fragrance not even in her top 10 ever. If you are owning Outlands, this is redundant, if you are owning RT, this is redundant, if you are owning Tony Iommi, this is redundant. She could make this fragrance way better, but i think she had to hit the breaks, cause it needs to be mass appealing, so it can sell.

This fragrance is great if you have never worn old versions, but if you did, you will never enjoy it after reformulation. F batch is the last batch before reformulation.

I dont get any myrrh or mint in new version, and it is way less potent, like it is been stripped off.

Longevity on both version is over 10 hours and new version has weaker projection by a massive margin. Sad decision from Amouage

Dogshit westernized oud similar to MFK - oud extrait. With rose, saffron and amber base. Absolutely unbelievably bad for 800€ retail price. Performance on my skin is below average, i get 6hours of longevity with solid projection in the first hour.

I wonder why people are buying this house, must be due to the beautiful packaging. It is almost unbelieavable that this fragrance costs 800€. If you want really solid mainstream niche oud stuff, and you dont care about the money,just go for FM - Moon for the same price.

Won’t be saying much about notes and accords. But this fragrance is somehow a mixture of barbershop style with the oriental backbone. Starts off super loud, dry and spicy, and it slowly mellows and calms. Starts of citrusy, floral, peppery and ends up smokey, leathery, earthy. Extremly well blended, absolutely unapologetic masculine fragrance. Signature scent worthy, can be worn in any season. I would say that it fits best at spring and fall. Can be just a bit heavy on summer and definetly do not have power to cut through the cold.

Longevity and projection are average. I cannot smell this fragrance on my skin after 6 hours of wearing and projection is good in the first 2 hours. After becomes a skin scent. Bit disappointing from the Amouage. I have H batch, also worn made in UK batch, and the performance is pretty much the same.

Not as bad performer as Jubilation XXV, Dia man and Lineage. But definetly not in the realm of Silver oud, King Blue, Myths man, Enclave, Portrayal man, Interlude man, Royal tobacco and so on.

It is there with Imitation man, Epic man, Reflection man, Jubilation 40 in terms of performance.

Smellwise and uniqueness this is 10/10

While OG addicted is in the Ambre Narguille/Angels share dna, Addicted + has absolutely nothing in common with that DNA.

Starts of very chocolatey with some citrus spark, it quickly goes into boozy tonka bean note which is done to perfection. Its boozy, almondy, cherry, vanillic. Fragrance stayes there for a long time. Drydown is all about an interplay of creamy vanilla, cacao and tonka bean. If i have to put it in any dna, i would choose something like @Dior - Feve delicious or @Guerlain - Tonka Sarapia. Fragrance is unisex, leaning feminine imo.

Performance is very average 4-6 hours on my skin, projection is also average.

Its an oldschool adult french gourmand fragrance, it actually smells really good, especially if you are fan of than DNA, all ingredients are high quality, blend is amazing, you can really pinpoint the notes in the fragrance. I would personally like it to be stronger.
