Royal Oud by Creed is a clean, dry oud, lighter and greener than the name suggests. Lemon, Sicilian bergamot and pink pepper give it a sharp, sparkling start. Cedar and angelica follow, with galbanum adding a bitter green snap. Oud sits in the base with sandalwood and musk, smooth and woody rather than smoky or animalic. First released in 2011, it is mostly worn by men who want wood with a polish. Voters wear it in autumn and winter, at the office, by day and into the evening, and it works well for work. The longevity vote leans long-lasting, while the sillage vote clearly lands on moderate. A 3ml decant is an easy way to find out whether oud belongs in your rotation.

The community verdict
A woody, powdery blend of cedar, sandalwood and oud gives Royal Oud a refined, earthy feel, with lemon and pink pepper at the start. The largest group finds it long-lasting, while most report moderate projection. It suits autumn office wear; winter and daytime work too.

More from Creed
Creed dates its story to 1760, and its perfumes still share a bright, tailored style that reads as effortless rather than loud. Citrus and bergamot open most of them, then ambergris, musk and sandalwood give a clean, smooth finish. Aventus is the name people ask about first: fruity and sweet up top, dry and woody underneath. Green Irish Tweed goes the other way, cool and green with iris and violet. Silver Mountain Water feels as crisp as a winter morning, and Virgin Island Water adds coconut for holidays. Olivier Creed and Pierre Bourdon are among the perfumers credited on the range here.
