Royal Scottish Lavender

Creed Royal Scottish Lavender, like many of the discontinued Creed freshies, has an allure, a classic charm about it that distinguishes from some of the house's more recent, more ready-to-please entries. The note breakdown is rather straight forward: bergamot on top, lavender in the heart, and sandalwood, vanilla, and "spicy notes" in the base. It has a sharper opening, no doubt due to an unadulterated dose of bergamot, with the lavender itself, after which it dries down into a woody base, the vanilla serving not so much to truly sweeten the mix but just to keep it from remaining as harsh (only slightly) as at its onset. RSL is a superior performer to most of the Creed freshies, newer or discontinued, and it fits both into the freshie realm and the woody realm, as, particularly after the initial acerbic buzz wears off, it's a mellower, more year-round woody mix. I initially didn't think I'd like it but it won me over in a few hours. 8 out of 10

Dont think theres much i can add to what others have already said. Ive owned my bottle boxed with everything for about 10 years and probably sprayed it three times, every time has been a wedding of someone. For lavender, its the only one i own, and like. Certainly gives me a Barbershop vibe, crisp and fresh, clean and feels high status. I dont wear it often as stated above, not something id reach for on a daily basis, but perhaps that may be because i know i will be lucky to find more. This will probably last me for centuries!

A mon nez, ça ressemble à Royal Water mais avec de la lavande. Quelques notes qui ressemblent aussi à English Fern de Penhaligon's dans les notes de tête, mais qui ne durent que quelques secondes à peine. Je préfère cette merveilleuse senteur à Royal Water car j'adore la lavande! Senteur de propre linge frais et du printemps fleuri à l'été frais et ensoleillé. Très bien dans une température chaude et même fraiche. Je consacrerais cette merveille olfactive exclusivement pour le jour. Du Royal Water en mieux car de la lavande... Seul bémol, ça ressemble plus à une eau de toilette qu'une eau de parfum; légère avec un sillage modéré et une longévité très moyenne. Excellent quand même. J'aime beaucoup! 4/5

Like everything Creed makes this is a high quality fragrance. It very much smells like many of the other fragrances I have sampled that came from the same time period. It is powerful at first with the lavender and spices really being the main notes I smell. After an hour or so it smells nice, but I could only see an older woman wearing it.

Lavender bomb of years past. No.
