The Scoop
King of Oudhania captures the bright citrus opening and woody-herbal heart of Royal Oud reasonably well, with comparable cedar and sandalwood base notes. However, the clone tends to emphasize the oud more prominently throughout the wearing experience, whereas the original balances it more subtly within a refined herbal framework. The musk separation and overall sophistication of Creed's composition is difficult to replicate at clone price points.
Key Differences
The clone pushes oud forward more aggressively, creating a darker, more linear scent compared to Royal Oud's complex herbal-citrus interplay. Longevity and sillage are generally good but lack the refined projection curve of the original.

What wearers say
“I love Royal Oud , its my favorite Creed, and i got this so I wouldn't have to spray my OG bottle so much lol. Unfortunately this smells almost nothing like Royal Oud to me. There is some sweetness in it and lacks the fresh opening. I can see somewhere how it is similar, but i was really hoping it would be closer. It does last a while and has that "cigarette-ish" dry down, but its just not close enough to get this in place of the OG. Just suck it up and buy the original if you love the scent.”
“Its pretty decent, lasts forever on clothes, just be careful cause its oily and thick. Not worth the $55---wait for a sale. I have had this for a few years, i just use to layer when I want some deep, sweet woods.”
“UPDATED BELOW:At the moment I don't like this. I've smelled the real deal and this isn't close. However, in my experience with the brand it's best to let them macerate and check again in a month or two. Holding out hope it improves like others from the brand I've tried. Will report back in a month or two. 1.12.24UPDATE: 4.2.24Smells 100x better now. Honestly need to resample the original but this smells really good now. Still need to test longevity. Smells expensive.”
