Queen of Silk

Creed’s Queen of Silk is not a whisper, she’s a declaration. The moment she enters the room, she arrives—bold, unmistakable, and unforgettable. This is a scent that carries itself with the kind of confidence that doesn’t wait to be acknowledged.

Opening with a flash of juicy passionfruit, there’s an immediate spark—unexpected, bright, and flirtatiously tart. But don’t be fooled: this is only the first layer of her complexity. Soon, saffron threads weave into the mix, luxurious and spiced, setting the stage for what’s to come. The heart is rich with oud, smooth yet commanding, grounding the fragrance in an opulent depth. And just when you think you’ve unraveled her, the Bourbon vanilla slides in—warm, intoxicating, and utterly sensual.

This is no casual fragrance. Queen of Silk is for the night—the kind where velvet dresses, candlelit dinners, and whispered intrigue unfold. It’s a statement piece in olfactory form: elegant, daring, and utterly unapologetic.

Spray with caution. One or two is power. More is peril.

Perfect for the cooler months. Would also be great for date night ❤️

Libertine kindly sent me a sample of Queen of Silk in a recent order and, on first wear, I wasn’t a fan. But over the next few wears, I experienced a beautiful oriental floral that evolves from a bold, slightly unexpected opening to a smooth, luxurious dry-down.

It makes a strong first impression, with what seems like a spiced patchouli and tuberose-dominant start (carrying a slightly masculine edge) with a subtle petrol-like note in the opening — perhaps from saffron — adding a slightly medicinal touch, before softening as it develops. As it transitions, Queen of Silk leans more feminine, with a warm, spicy incense and an opulent floral heart. It becomes a softer, more refined floral composition, where the silky texture truly emerges. The sweetness in the mid-to-full dry-down is balanced and never overpowering, making the scent feel smooth, silky and refined, true to its regal name.

This fragrance is lovely and a perfect reminder that snap judgments don’t always do justice to a perfume’s full story.

If you already own Blue Heart by Thameen you won’t need this one - they are incredibly similar. I own Blue Heart so won’t be purchasing this full size however I really enjoyed the sample. It’s a delicious autumn winter fragrance. It is labelled as “For Women” however I consider it to be perfectly unisex. Excellent longevity and great projection. Highly recommend.

Just so smooth and ****.
