by Creed
Royal Scottish Lavender by Creed is a refined, crisp lavender fragrance with a sharp citrus opening and a dry, woody base. The lavender is not soft or floral but rather bitter and aromatic, reminiscent of English barber shops or vintage linens. It develops into a warm, spicy-sandalwood drydown with subtle vanilla, creating a masculine, elegant character. Longevity is moderate, with most users reporting around 8 hours on skin, though sillage remains subdued—often described as intimate or moderate. The fragrance shines during daytime wear, particularly in spring and winter, and is best suited for those who appreciate earthy, aromatic perfumes. Despite being discontinued, it carries a classic charm, valued more for its craftsmanship than mass appeal. Its drying-down approach means it’s personal and intimate, requiring wearers to be in tune with its subtle evolution.
