Oud Zarian
feminine
Oud Zarian by Creed is a Oriental Woody fragrance for women and men. This is a new fragrance. Oud Zarian was launched in 2025. Top notes are Spices, Frankincense, Ginger and Bergamot; middle note is May Rose; base notes are Licorice, Myrrh, Oud, Tonka Bean, Sandalwood and Patchouli. Oud Zarian by Creed is a 2025 unisex fragrance that blends spicy, woody, and amber accords. A luminous opening of bergamot, frankincense, ginger, and warm spice accords awakens the senses with a radiant yet mystical energy. At its heart, a singular bloom of rose centifolia unfurls—velvety and regal, adding depth and elegance. The fragrance settles into an opulent base, where the rare richness of 80-year-aged oud intertwines with patchouli, sandalwood, and myrrh , grounded by the subtle sweetness of liquorice root and tonka bean . The result is a composition that is both ancient and modern—mysterious, intoxicating, and profoundly enduring.

Oud Zarian is widely praised as Creed's most daring and successful release, featuring impressive longevity and a creamy, complex profile that appeals to both oud enthusiasts and newcomers. While the high price point and dark intensity limit its everyday wearability, community consensus strongly supports it as a quality fragrance worth sampling despite cost concerns.
Strengths
- Exceptional longevity and projection (12-15 hours)
- Smooth, creamy, and complex dry down with caramel and vanilla notes
- Accessible oud for newcomers—lacks animalic or barnyard character
- High quality composition and performance justifies reformulation effort
Weaknesses
- Expensive pricing even with discounts
- Limited wearability due to dark, intense character
- Similarities to Royal Tobacco (Amouage) reduce uniqueness for some
- Challenging opening with bold licorice and ginger may not suit all
