Royal Scottish Lavender

by James Henry Creed

Creed Royal Scottish Lavender is an Eau de Parfum launched in 1856, created by James Henry Creed. Royal Scottish Lavender opens with Citrus and Bergamot, settles into a heart of Lavender, and dries down to a base of Spicy, Sandalwood, and Vanilla. Creed's Royal Scottish Lavender carries an Acquired verdict, a citrus-led wear.

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.

About

Royal Scottish Lavender opens with a sharp burst of citrus and bergamot, quickly giving way to a prominent, clean lavender heart. As it settles, a warm, soft base of sandalwood and subtle spices emerges, rounded out by a hint of vanilla that prevents any harshness. It’s a refined, aromatic composition that evokes a sense of traditional elegance.
