The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Royal Service by Creed was launched in 2011 and created by Olivier Creed, the sixth generation to lead this family-owned fragrance house founded in 1760. The composition opens with bright citrus notes like bergamot, grapefruit, and bitter orange, which mingle with a fresh spicy accord that adds an unexpected edge. As it evolves, iris and narcissus bring soft florals into play before settling into a warm base of musk and amber. This balance between freshness and warmth makes Royal Service both invigorating and comforting.

How to wear it

Apply two sprays to ensure the fresh spicy top notes are noticeable without overpowering. The fragrance's base notes will develop over time, providing a warm and comforting scent that lasts throughout the day.
