New York Oud مقابل Royal Oud

New York Oud by Bond No. 9 appears to be a solid, wearable fragrance that collectors include in their rotation, though it doesn't generate particularly strong enthusiasm or criticism. The limited community discussion suggests it's a reliable but not exceptional choice within the oud fragrance category.

Royal Oud is a polarizing fragrance that impresses with its refined cedar-and-wood profile and receives genuine compliments, but frustrates many with its weak sillage, misleading name (minimal actual oud), and Creed's notorious batch inconsistency. Community consensus suggests trying it in-store first, as sample quality varies significantly and personal performance expectations should be managed.
