Royal Oud ist ein polarisierendes Parfum, das mit seinem raffinierten Zeder- und Holzprofil beeindruckt und echte Komplimente erhält, aber viele mit seiner schwachen Sillage, dem irreführenden Namen (minimales echtes Oud) und Creeds berüchtigter Chargenschwankung frustriert. Der Konsens der Community legt nahe, es zunächst im Geschäft zu testen, da die Probenqualität erheblich variiert und persönliche Leistungserwartungen realistisch sein sollten.
