Royal Princess Oud, Millesime Spray by Creed

Royal Princess Oud, Millesime Spray by Creed, Launched in 2015, Royal Princess Oud is a rich, complex scent that’s a fit for a monarch. For thousands of years, oud (also known as agarwood) was prized for its musky, nutty scent and is reportedly one of the most expensive woods in the world. Its oil has traditionally been used as incense and perfume throughout the middle east, but now British perfumer Creed has used it to create a modern, east-meets-west fragrance. The tops notes are soft and delicate, with scents that include rose and violet, while the middle notes continue the floral theme with jasmine, vanilla absolute, and Tuscan iris. The base notes are rich and woody, with sandalwood, styrax, and (of course) oud. The fragrance also contains hints of exotic scents such as bergamot and patchouli. This fragrance combines delicate feminine floral notes with mysterious oriental scents, creating a sophisticated fragrance that works well both day and night. While especially appropriate for spring and fall wear, this scent can also be worn year round. It has moderate longevity and sillage, lasting for several hours and noticeable without being overwhelming. The creator of Royal Princess Oud is Creed, a high-end perfumer that has been creating scents for European royalty since 1760. Whether you’re looking for a dramatic evening perfume or a fragrance that makes you feel like a princess, this oud based fragrane is an excellent choice.
