Creed Royal Oud Unboxing

[@watchkingjames]

Creed does not come in plastic wrap so these are probably fakes

Thanks for watching but I have no need to prove.

that perfume can be used during the day with a little sun????greetings from orlando florida🇺🇸

[@RonHowardStudio]

Hello from Thailand. Nice to see you today. It's OK for a little sunny day especially if you like the scent. However, I Think it works better in the cold places because it's quite woody and a bit oily. If you were here, I would spray it to you. Have a good day!

How did you find the performance? I recently bought 100ml and found it to be a dud. Not the same lot as yours. But I can barely tell I'm wearing it. First day I only sprayed twice. Buy today I must've sprayed 15 times all over my neck chest and wrist and no one I asked even could tell I was wearing cologne. Not much strength and fades fast. Mine is 2019 batch it seems. I'm very disappointed. I have it in prior years and it was wonderful.

Hello I did spray twice and smell it until end of day. Be careful spray any fragrances a bit far from your nose to avoid olfactory fatigue. Espectially niche brands which have super high quality, I always can't smell the Neroli after applying on my wrist and smell it directly.

@@RonHowardStudio if it was only me that couldn't smell it I'd understand. But not a single person I asked could even recognize I had cologne on. Last night I sprayed our once on a end of a paper towel and Savage EDP in the other end once. Right now I can still smell and recognize the Sauvauge. The Royal Oud is unnoticeable completely. I checked your batch. It's 2017. Mine is 2019. I either have a really bad batch or Creed has really fallen off. I didn't have this problem in 2016 with my 2015 batch. I sent them an email. I don't care about any refund or re-imbursement. Live and learn. But I wanted them to know this 2019 batch is weaker than any of the lower budget EDTs in my collection. If it's just one batch then so be it, but if it's a greater quality issue then the more people that complain the more likely they fix it.

OMG I was so sad to hear that. I can tell this bottle has less performance than my 2015 Aventus. Typically, I apply 4 sprays at least but I think it should be called Royal Cedar more than Oud also the base seems vetiver & sandalwood. Hopefully they will response to you soon with the professional style. I also can't move on with Les exclusifs de CHANEL after reformulation in 2016. My fav Sycomore EDT and BelRespiro EDT were destroyed completely.

@@RonHowardStudio I'm hoping it's just a really weak batch that somehow passed through quality crew. I'm used to Creed being less than it was but I wouldn't have taken this bottle for free. I've never had a scent fade so fast and be so faint from the start. I wrote them just so that they know. I don't care for reimbursement. And I won't let this bottle go to anyone else. Live and learn.

@@RonHowardStudio update. I reached out to Creed and they question the legitimacy of the bottle. But offered to send me free samples. I purchased the bottle from a local shop here in Toronto that I've never had issues with in the past. I don't feel they'd swindle me. But I just found it they aren't an official retailer according to Creed head office. So who knows. I'll reach out to the shop to let them know. This wouldn't have happened if not for covid restrictions. I'd never had blind bought the batch if I could walk into a store and test the batch I'm buying. Ultimately I hope this is a fake because I don't like the idea of Creed Royal Our actually becoming this weak.

When did Royal Oud switch to the 3.3oz’s???

[@RonHowardStudio]

Sorry, I have no idea.
