Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Royal Oud EDP
Royal Oud by Creed is a sophisticated woody scent that whispers 'old money' rather than shouting, making it a firm favourite for those who want elegance without the typical 'oud beast'. Some find it utterly captivating, while others believe its performance doesn't justify the price - you decide.
Statement
Our Verdict - No.268 Royal Oud Parfum
No.268 goes after Creed's Royal Oud - a clean, citrus-opened oud rather than a heavy incense bomb. It borrows the shape well (lemon into cedar into oud) but comes across noticeably flatter and less refined than the original's polished sillage.
