The story behind the bottle.
Royal Ceylan by Creed was launched in 2006 and crafted by the master perfumers Olivier Creed and Erwin Creed. This fragrance opens with a bright citrus-aromatic blend of tangerine, bergamot, and ginger, which creates an invigorating freshness that feels like a morning breeze off the coast. As it evolves, green tea and rice notes add an earthy warmth, while sea salt brings a subtle marine touch. The heart introduces lotus and tea, providing a delicate floral contrast to the spicy and woody base of vetiver and cedar. Royal Ceylan is not just a scent but a journey through the lush landscapes and vibrant aromas of Ceylon.
This fragrance blooms over time, so apply it to pulse points for a slow reveal. The sea salt note is particularly noticeable within the first hour; after that, the woody base takes center stage, making it perfect for evening wear.
