Royal Princess Oud is a women’s Eau de Parfum by Creed, launched in 2015 and inspired by Henry Creed II’s couture sketchbooks. The house places it among floral ambers: raspberry, bergamot and cardamom in the top, Damask rose, angelica and jasmine in the heart, oud, patchouli, iris and labdanum in the base.
The house now describes a floral amber: a raspberry accord, bergamot and cardamom in the top, Damask rose, angelica and a jasmine petal accord in the heart, oud, patchouli, iris and labdanum in the base.
Raspberry and rose
Its narrative has bergamot and juicy raspberry bursting over an elegant Damask rose. The warmth of oud and the floral refinement of iris shape the base, which Creed wants sensual and highly refined.
The launch notes
In 2015, the house announced a different list: bitter Sicilian bergamot, rose and sweet violet in the top, jasmine, vanilla, patchouli and Tuscan iris in the heart, Siam benzoin, Mysore sandalwood and styrax in the base, around oud.
Now Smell This noted an aldehyde in that list at the time, and The Scented Salamander ranked Royal Princess Oud among woody florals, with iris in the heart and oud in the base.
