Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Royal Scottish Lavender EDP
This discontinued Creed is a classic barbershop scent, clean and fresh with a good dose of lavender. It's high quality, but don't expect beast-mode performance; it's a skin scent for many, though some find it office-appropriate.

Our Verdict - No.161 Phantom EDP
Eden's No.161 goes after Rabanne Phantom's creamy lavender-vanilla-woody aromatic accord, opened up with energising citrus. The bright top notes and lavender heart land close to the original, though the smart-tech sheen and depth of the real Phantom fade faster here.
