Inspiration: Royal Scottish Lavender (2008) by Creed In 1856, Creed released an exceptional aromatic fougere fragrance called Royal Scottish Lavender. To say that this is one of the best lavender fragrances we have ever tried would be an understatement. The natural and robust quality of the lavender is exceptional, and the quality inherent within will become immediately apparent for all who have the pleasure of trying it. Unfortunately, the scent is now discontinued, and we managed to get our hands on an authentic bottle from 2008. After reverse-engineering it, we truly realized the precious nature of some of these raw materials, but we did not skimp when it came to quality.
