XXI Art Deco Cypress vs Royal Oud

No community opinions about XXI Art Deco Cypress by Clive Christian were found in the provided Reddit discussion. The thread discusses Fragrantica's highest-rated fragrances in general but does not mention this specific fragrance.

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.
