No.290 Impression Of Oud Zarian Creed For Women & Men

No. 290 Impression of Oud Zarian Creed—Extrait de Parfum by Muntaha Fragrance For Women & Men.

The impression of Oud Zarian Creed is a rich, mysterious, and sophisticated fragrance.

creation by Muntaha Fragrance, inspired by the distinctive character of Creed Oud Zarian. Built around a striking combination of warm spices, incense, ginger, rose, oud, myrrh, sandalwood, and tonka bean, this fragrance offers a powerful yet polished interpretation of modern oriental woody perfumery.

Oud Zarian was introduced by Creed in 2025 as a unisex oriental woody fragrance. Its composition opens with spices, frankincense, ginger, and bergamot, moves into a heart centered on May Rose, and settles into a deep base of licorice, myrrh, oud, tonka bean, sandalwood, and patchouli.

No. 290 is made for fragrance lovers who appreciate bold oud compositions but want more than just darkness. The citrus brightness, aromatic ginger, elegant rose, and creamy woods create a fragrance personality that feels luxurious, confident, and memorable.

Fragrance Overview

No. 290 has a layered character that develops noticeably from the first spray to the final dry-down. The opening is bright yet intense, combining bergamot with ginger, frankincense, and warm spices. Bergamot brings freshness, while ginger gives the fragrance a lively spicy edge. Frankincense adds a smoky, resinous quality that immediately creates a more mysterious atmosphere.

The heart is surprisingly elegant. May Rose introduces a soft floral character that gives the composition refinement and prevents the darker elements from becoming too heavy. This floral touch creates an interesting contrast against the incense and spices.

As the fragrance settles, the richer side takes over. Oud, myrrh, sandalwood, and patchouli create a deep woody and balsamic foundation, while tonka bean and licorice add a subtle sweetness. The official fragrance pyramid lists spices, frankincense, ginger, and bergamot as the top notes; May Rose at the heart; and licorice, myrrh, oud, tonka bean, sandalwood, and patchouli in the base.

Fragrance Notes

Top Notes

• Spices
• Frankincense
• Ginger
• Bergamot

The opening makes an immediate impression. Bergamot provides a sparkling citrus lift, while ginger adds brightness and a slightly fiery quality. Warm spices create body, and frankincense introduces an incense-like depth.

This combination gives No. 290 an energetic beginning with both freshness and darkness. It feels sophisticated rather than simply heavy, making the opening one of the fragrance’s most distinctive stages.

Heart Note

• May Rose

At the heart, May Rose brings a smoother and more elegant dimension. Its floral character softens the spicy opening and creates a refined transition toward the deeper base.

The rose is important because it gives the fragrance a touch of sophistication without turning the composition into a conventional floral scent. Instead, it sits comfortably between the spices and woods.

Base Notes

• Licorice
• Myrrh
• Oud
• Tonka Bean,
• Sandalwood
• Patchouli

The dry-down is where No. 290 reveals its richest character. Oud provides the central woody depth, while myrrh contributes a warm, balsamic resinous quality. Sandalwood adds creamy smoothness, and patchouli brings earthy richness.

Tonka bean introduces a soft sweetness, while licorice gives the base a darker, slightly aromatic nuance. Together, these notes create a long-lasting impression of warm woods, incense, spice, and subtle sweetness.

Performance

No. 290 is particularly well suited to autumn, winter, and cool evenings. Its spicy, resinous, and woody character naturally performs best when the weather allows richer fragrances to develop.

It is a strong choice for evening occasions, formal gatherings, weddings, dinners, and special events. It can also be worn during the day in colder weather, although a measured application is preferable for offices and enclosed spaces.

Community fragrance data for the original Oud Zarian currently describes its longevity and projection as above average, with Parfumo reporting strong community ratings in both areas.

Performance can still vary depending on skin chemistry, climate, application, and individual perception. For a close setting, start with a moderate application; for outdoor evenings or larger events, the fragrance can be worn more generously.

Why Choose This Impression?

No. 290 is an appealing choice for anyone who enjoys oud, incense, warm spices, and sophisticated woody fragrances but wants those elements balanced with freshness and floral elegance.

Muntaha Fragrance develops premium impressions inspired by luxury and niche fragrance profiles, focusing on a balanced wearing experience and carefully considered scent character. No. 290 takes inspiration from the rich, spicy-woody direction of Oud Zarian while remaining a Muntaha Fragrance creation.

Its appeal comes from the contrast between bright bergamot and ginger, smoky frankincense, elegant rose, and a deeper oud-based dry-down. That progression gives the fragrance a sense of movement rather than presenting one flat accord from beginning to end.

For fragrance lovers looking for an accessible luxury scent with a bold oriental woody personality, No. 290 offers a distinctive option.

Who Should Wear It?

No. 290 is designed for women and men who enjoy confident, warm, and sophisticated fragrances. It is particularly suitable for people who appreciate oud but prefer it accompanied by spice, incense, rose, and creamy woods.

The ideal wearer is someone who enjoys fragrances with presence and depth. It works well for a confident personality, a formal wardrobe, or anyone who prefers richer scents during the colder months.

If your collection already includes oud, incense, amber, sandalwood, or spicy fragrances, No. 290 can add a darker and more luxurious dimension.

Perfect For
