Creed Spice and Wood is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2010, created by Olivier Creed. Spice and Wood opens with Bergamot, Lemon, and Apple, settles into a heart of Angelica, Patchouli, Birch, and Pepper, and dries down to a base of Musk, Cedar, Oakmoss, and Iris. Creed's Spice and Wood carries a Favourite verdict, a fresh-led wear.

A truly gorgeous, refined woody-spicy scent that's adored by its fans but ultimately crippled by its abysmal performance. Despite its beauty, it's impossible to recommend at this price point.

Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:

Its subtle sillage and refined character make it perfect for formal settings or the office where it won't offend. However, the poor longevity limits its versatility for casual wear unless you're reapplying often, and it's far too elegant for sport.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

In standard patch-test panels

  • Citral Geranial from Lemon
  • Oakmoss Evernia prunastri extract from Oakmoss

Other declarable allergens

  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot
  • Clove Eugenia Caryophyllus Flower Oil from Clove
  • Synthetic musk Hexamethylindanopyran from Musk

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Spice and Wood opens with a crisp, bright splash of apple and citrus, quickly ushering in a heart of dry, peppery birch and patchouli. It settles into a sophisticated base of cedar and oakmoss, with subtle hints of iris and musk providing a clean, smooth finish.
