Oud Zarian: the extraordinary new fragrance from The House of Creed

Enter the refined world of Oud Zarian, the Maison's new sophisticated oud-based composition. A unique story, deeply rooted in tradition, celebrating the care and dedication required by the purest craftsmanship.

The fragrance
A true masterpiece born from the intertwining of some of the finest natural raw materials, enhanced by the presence of oud aged for over 80 years. Oud Zarian embodies the silent and meticulous work of generations of artisans who, for decades in Bangladesh, have dedicated themselves to the production of this precious resin using traditional techniques that have transformed this coveted raw material into an unforgettable fragrance. More than just a perfume, it is an olfactory tribute to the consistency required for this process and the continuous pursuit of perfection that characterises The House of Creed.
The fragrance is Millésime, a French term borrowed from the world of wine that Creed uses to indicate the excellence of its creations. Its woody, spicy and amber notes are blended by hand thanks to over 260 years of experience. This constant attention to craftsmanship is not only what gives Oud Zarian its persistence but what shapes its entire history. The composition opens with an air of mystery created by rich swirls of incense mingling with the warmth of ginger and a spicy accord. A veil lifts to reveal the elegance of centifolia rose, prized for its beauty and short harvesting season. A sumptuous debut that gives way to the vibrant heart of the fragrance: 80-year-old Oud Choron. Enhanced by the creaminess of sandalwood, patchouli and myrrh, its velvety, resinous depth creates a trail of lingering charm.

A prestigious raw material
The Oud Choron that forms the soul of Oud Zarian is unique and is carefully harvested by the historic producer Jalali Agarwood from trees hidden deep in the forests of Sylhet, in north-eastern Bangladesh.
Jalali Agarwood has maintained traditional cultivation methods to this day, committed to preserving the charm of oud for future generations: for every tree felled, twenty new ones are planted.

The House of Creed is one of the few privileged companies to have access to this highly sought-after raw material, thanks to the Maison's dedication to preserving its tradition of craftsmanship. The result is Oud Zarian, a composition created with care and attention for all those who recognise the value of true craftsmanship, designed to be worn on occasions when you want to feel truly special.
Oud Zarian is an olfactory journey through time, an elegant fragrance that fully embodies the Maison's artisanal excellence.
