Creed Queen of Silk

You can buy the genuine Creed Queen of Silk straight from Creed. The real bottle comes first; the accessible alternatives below are there if you'd rather spend less.

Creed Queen of Silk opens with Osmanthus, Magnolia and Saffron; a heart of Tuberose, Passion Fruit, Oud and Patchouli; drying down to Vanilla, Incense, Myrrh, Ambroxan, Cedar and Musk, from notes Creed Boutique (official) publishes. Those notes read as fruity, floral, spicy, sweet, amber, woody, the coarse families Creed Boutique (official) cites. How it wears depends on your skin and the concentration. We only publish notes and accords we can trace to a source.

The genuine Creed Queen of Silk runs £175 at Creed as of this page's last update, though retailers set their own prices and change them.

We rank the "smells-like" alternatives to Queen of Silk by how closely their cited accords match the original, cheapest first. A dupe is meant to evoke Queen of Silk, not match its formula, and we say as much. If we can't verify a genuine match yet, we leave it off.

Creed Queen of Silk is listed as a women's fragrance by the retailer. That's a marketing label, not a rule: fragrance has no gender, and plenty of "women's" scents are worn by anyone. We show how it's sold and leave the wearing to you.

We rank them by how many of Queen of Silk's cited notes they actually share, weighting rarer notes heavier than ubiquitous ones. Each is its own fragrance with real, sourced notes, not a copy of Queen of Silk, and has its own page.
