Part of Creed's exclusive Royal Exclusives line, offering a sophisticated, apothecary-style herbal take on Scottish lavender.

How Aberdeen Lavender Smells: Notes & Development

Aberdeen Lavender opens with Lavender, Bergamot, Lemon and Rosemary — the first impression as it hits the skin. Once that burns off, usually inside the first half hour, the heart turns to Tuberoses, Lily, Rose and Geranium. What lingers on skin and clothing hours later is the base: Leather, Patchouli and Vetiver.

Strip it back to the bones and the profile reads Lavender, Aromatic, Citrus, White Floral, Leather — the kind of profile that rewards a second and third wearing.
