Creed Oud Zarian is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2025. Oud Zarian opens with Spicy, Bergamot, Ginger, and Frankincense, settles into a heart of Rose, and dries down to a base of Sandalwood, Oud, Patchouli, and Tonka Bean. Creed's Oud Zarian carries an Acquired verdict, a warm spicy-led wear.

This one's a proper love-it-or-hate-it affair, and frankly, we're not surprised. It’s got beastly performance matched only by its eye-watering price, so sample before you commit to smelling like a luxury spice explosion, or an Indian takeaway, depending on who you ask.

About

Oud Zarian kicks off with a bold, almost overwhelming blast of warm and fresh spices, uplifted by a flash of bergamot and the balsamic depth of frankincense. The heart softens slightly with a delicate rose, but the real show is the dry-down, a rich tapestry of woody oud (much debated whether it's actually present), creamy sandalwood, liquorice, and earthy patchouli, all smoothed by sweet tonka and resinous myrrh. It's a dense, enveloping scent with serious longevity.
