Performance & Scent Profile
Opening: A luminous citrus burst mingled with smoky frankincense and warming ginger inviting yet mysterious.
Heart & Dry Down: Transitions into a majestic fusion of rose and oud, anchored by soft woods, patchouli, and sweet nuances like tonka and licorice for a luxurious finish.
Community Reviews:
Compared closely to Maison Francis Kurkdjian Oud Satin Mood, with a comparable “licorice-like opening” and a rose-oud interplay.
Praised as smoother than Royal Tobacco and less smoky than Outlands, with Creed’s signature refinement.
Observers note bold projection and richness that develop into a soft, rosy-sweet dry down reminiscent of Dior Sauvage Elixir or Guerlain’s benzoin-laced scents.

Seasons: Fall, Winter, Evening perfect for cooler nights and formal settings.
Occasions: Ideal for upscale events, deep conversations, or when you want presence, sophistication, and attention to detail.
Why You’ll Love It
Legacy-rich and luxurious built around an ultra-rare, aged oud with palpable heritage.
Balanced and multi-faceted bright and smoky, floral yet resinous, bold yet elegant.
Sophisticated complexity a modern oud fusion that honors classical craftsmanship and Creed’s refined taste.
Bold but wearable strikes the perfect balance between statement and subtlety for oud aficionados.
