The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Launched in 1856 by Creed, Royal Scottish Lavender is a fragrance that captures the essence of its time with a composition by James Henry Creed. The scent opens with bright citrus and lavender notes, which give way to a warm, woody base infused with spices and vanilla. This creation embodies the blend of freshness and warmth, perfectly suited for both day and evening wear.

How to wear it

Apply two sprays to your pulse points for a balanced experience. The citrus-lavender opening is vibrant but fades within an hour, so allow the warm woody base notes to develop fully over time. This fragrance reads best close to skin rather than filling a room.
