Reviews of Royal Scottish Lavender (1856)
by Creed

Over the top, heady lavender and reeks like brandy i.e. very alcoholic. Clove and lavender ends up smelling like potpourri here. A touch of Jicky comes in near the end. Confusing scent and stodgy.

This one's a stinker. I only wear it begrudgingly sometimes for its slight sedative effect on me. However, I have never ever been complimented while wearing this. I personally find it to be a very strongly scented fragrance that at most times I find bearable at best, but never pleasant. To best describe the scent, these are a few comments I have heard at one time or another by other people in the same room: "Did someone spray Lysol in here?", "It smells funny in here -- they must have been shampooing the carpet". Again, I only wear this reluctantly and not often. Would not recommend purchasing (unless the thought of wearing an outdated "royal" fragrance inspires you with enough delusions of grandeur to overcome its actual scent).
