Oud Zarian vs Angels' Share

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.

Angels' Share is a well-composed niche fragrance with an impressive scent profile of apple pie, cognac, and spice that genuinely resonates with many in the community. However, it's severely hampered by unpredictable performance—some experience strong projection while others find it barely noticeable—and longevity issues that appear batch-dependent. Despite these concerns, it maintains solid community appreciation and recognition.
