Creed enchants with Queen of Silk, a fragrance that celebrates the opulent luster and ethereal softness of silk through a spellbinding floral amber composition. Inspired by the historic elegance of silk threads, this scent weaves together exotic florals, rich fruits, and sumptuous resins to create a regal, sensual olfactory experience.
Development, From Radiant Florals to Sensual Depth
Queen of Silk opens with a radiant blend of Chinese osmanthus, magnolia, and saffron that immediately shimmers on the skin. Osmanthus lends a creamy apricot-like sweetness, magnolia adds delicate floral clarity, and saffron contributes a golden warmth. As the fragrance unfolds, a lush heart of tuberose and passion fruit emerges, wrapped in the resinous depth of agarwood and the earthy richness of Javanese patchouli. This mid stage creates a vivid tapestry of sweetness and spice. In the dry down, Madagascan vanilla, smoky incense, myrrh, ambroxan, Chinese cedarwood, and musk converge to leave a lingering trail of opulent sophistication.
