About
Decision by Amouage is a Woody Aromatic fragrance for women and men. This is a new fragrance. Decision was launched in 2025. The nose behind this fragrance is Quentin Bisch. Top notes are Cardamom, Bergamot and Pink Pepper; middle notes are Frankincense, Juniper Berries and Myrrh; base notes are Vanilla, Cedarwood and Patchouli. Starting with an olfactory bolt of lightning, Decision banishes the darkness of uncertainty – an effect achieved through a combination of the cool woodiness and citrus-mineralic sparkle of Frankincense, Bergamot, Myrrh and Juniper Berries. After this striking opening, the light spreads further, aided by the gleaming sheen of Atlas Cedarwood. Finally, a warm Vanilla in the base conveys the profoundly liberating effect of acceptance.Uncompromising, distinctive and incandescent, Decision captures the paradox that lies at the core of all of life’s most powerful decisions: it is focused on its goal while remaining open to countless possibilities.33% oil concentration, 5 weeks ageing: 3 weeks maceration, 2 weeks maturation

About
Oud Zarian by Creed is a Oriental Woody fragrance for women and men. This is a new fragrance. Oud Zarian was launched in 2025. Top notes are Spices, Frankincense, Ginger and Bergamot; middle note is May Rose; base notes are Licorice, Myrrh, Oud, Tonka Bean, Sandalwood and Patchouli. Oud Zarian by Creed is a 2025 unisex fragrance that blends spicy, woody, and amber accords. A luminous opening of bergamot, frankincense, ginger, and warm spice accords awakens the senses with a radiant yet mystical energy. At its heart, a singular bloom of rose centifolia unfurls—velvety and regal, adding depth and elegance. The fragrance settles into an opulent base, where the rare richness of 80-year-aged oud intertwines with patchouli, sandalwood, and myrrh, grounded by the subtle sweetness of liquorice root and tonka bean. The result is a composition that is both ancient and modern—mysterious, intoxicating, and profoundly enduring.
