It’s a slightly spicy woody scent that’s sure to capture attention when you enter a room, and will keep people guessing the whole night long.

The Best Premium Fall Fragrance: Royal Oud by Creed

We like Royal Oud for its sophisticated blend of aromas, with top notes of lemon, pinkberries, and bergamot. Its middle notes contain cedar, galbanum, and angelica root, while its base is composed of sandalwood, oud, and tonkin musk.
