The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Launched in 2014 by Creed and crafted by perfumer Julien Rasquinet, Aberdeen Lavender is a sophisticated blend that marries aromatic freshness with the warmth of woody accords. The fragrance opens with a bright burst of rosemary, artemisia, bergamot, and lemon, creating an invigorating yet refined top note. As it settles into its heart, lavender takes center stage, supported by lily and tuberose, offering a floral bouquet that is both delicate and commanding. The base notes of patchouli, leather, and vetiver ground the composition with earthy depth and a subtle hint of sophistication.

How to wear it

Apply Aberdeen Lavender to pulse points and allow it to warm on your skin. The bright top notes are fleeting but impactful, so a second application may be needed after two hours to maintain its freshness. It pairs well with light layers for an office setting or a casual evening out.
