THE RUSH

Creed – Oud Zarian | Oriental Woody

🌹 Frankincense. May rose. Oud. Myrrh. Licorice. Creed’s most complex and opulent oriental yet. Oud Zarian is Creed’s bold 2025 oriental woody — a unisex fragrance of extraordinary richness and depth that showcases the maison’s mastery of rare and precious ingredients. Opening with a sacred, spiced burst of frankincense, bergamot, ginger, and spices, a single heart note of May rose — one of perfumery’s most prized florals — unfolds with breathtaking elegance before a deep, resinous base of sandalwood, tonka bean, patchouli, licorice, myrrh, and oud closes with the kind of ancient, enduring opulence that only Creed can deliver.

Sacred. Opulent. Unforgettable. This is Creed at its most ambitious.

Opening: Frankincense, Bergamot, Ginger, Spices — a sacred, spiced-aromatic entry of immediate complexity and presence, where the resinous depth of frankincense meets the sparkling freshness of bergamot, the fiery heat of ginger, and the warmth of spices in an opening that is simultaneously ancient and deeply modern.

Heart: May Rose — a single, breathtaking note of May rose — one of the most prized and expensive florals in all of perfumery, harvested once a year in Grasse — that bridges the sacred spiced opening and the deep resinous base with a floral elegance of extraordinary beauty and complexity.

Base: Sandalwood, Tonka Bean, Patchouli, Licorice, Myrrh, Oud — a deep, ancient, resinous foundation of extraordinary complexity, where the creamy richness of sandalwood and tonka bean meets the earthy depth of patchouli, the sweet darkness of licorice, the sacred smokiness of myrrh, and the prized depth of oud in a base that is genuinely one of the most complex in the Creed catalog.
