The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2025 by Creed and crafted by perfumer Cécile Zarokian, Oud Zarian is a warm and spicy Oriental Woody fragrance that weaves together the richness of oud with softer, more delicate notes. The composition opens with a vibrant blend of spices, bergamot, ginger, and frankincense before giving way to the heart of may rose, licorice, and myrrh. The base notes of tonka bean, sandalwood, and patchouli anchor the fragrance with their balsamic and woody warmth. Oud Zarian is a proof of Creed’s enduring tradition of crafting luxurious scents that balance boldness with subtlety.
Apply this fragrance with two sprays to capture its full depth. The warm spicy notes are immediate but give way to the rich oud base over time, so it's best suited for evening wear or cooler temperatures when you can fully appreciate its nuanced warmth.
