Once in a while you should listen to the users...
The fragrances of well-known brands such as Parfums de Marly, MFK or Creed for example, were among the first niches that I started to test at some point after my registration here. I soon found out that PdM does not appeal to me at all, MFK has at least one or two waters (Amyris Extrait and Masc.Pluriel) in their repertoire, which I like very much.
Creed's fragrances, however, appeal to me the most and I would even go so far as to say that this brand is one of my favourites among the niches I have known so far. Because their fragrances go in the classic direction I love so much, and such a classically elegant and wonderfully beautiful fragrance is the Royal Mayfair...
The basic composition for the fragrance was already created and completed in 1936 for the then King Edward VIII. Because of his love, he renounced the throne at the end of '36 and was named Duke of Windsor (Duke -> highest rank of the nobility in Great Britain. Windsor -> British royal house).
In 2009, the fragrance was released in a limited edition in honour of the Duke - under the name 'Windsor' - before being relaunched in 2015 under the current name Royal Mayfair (Mayfair is a rather upmarket district of London with many exclusive hotels and Georgian houses, which is considered one of the most attractive residential areas of the city).

Dear user Pollita had recommended this fragrance to me. This was sometime in late summer of this year, after she learned how much I like rose scents. Since you can't resist the occasional twitching in your fingers, I ordered the fragrance blindly at that time, also because at that time there was no sample offered in the souk.
Yes, I know it takes a lot of courage to order a niche fragrance without ever having tested it. But I trusted not only the tip and the nose of Polli, but also my own gut feeling. Because the marks and various statements/committees put me in a very positive mood...
So it ended up in my Notino shopping cart a few days later and arrived at my place shortly after. And dear Polli, what can I say? You were absolutely right with that tip! It was love at first sniff, so to speak... He is an incredibly unique and fragrantly beautiful scent in my eyes [...]
The gin note in the combination with the lime as well as the pine at the beginning already is the hammer! At the beginning Royal Mayfair exudes a tangy-sweet, but thoroughly fresh aroma, which also has a slightly woody nuance in the background and is so unique for me personally
This initial freshness is maintained throughout the fragrance, until after a short time a floral note is added, in this case rose However, it is very difficult for me to describe them here. I find them very pure, natural and clear. I have already tested some rose scents, but I have not been able to perceive them as I did with the Royal Mayfair. Here it is interpreted everything else than feminine, as I think.
The first woody touch from the beginning is then further enhanced by the cedar note in the base, so that the fragrance becomes woody towards the end. This is also emphasized by the eucalyptus, which in turn provides the long-lasting aromatic character and gives the whole a slightly bitter note, which smells a bit like mint.
[...]
In my opinion, the fragrance is composed in such a way that it has all the makings of a signature fragrance and is easily wearable for any season or occasion. The durability on my skin with a good 7-8h is quite remarkable, I think. And in the first 3h it also radiates power.
All in all I would describe it as very fresh with an aromatic-woody keynote, which also has a very interestingly pronounced floral chord in the background.
Conclusion:
For me personally, the Royal Mayfair is the best creed scent I know (very close to Bois du Portugal). In my eyes, it's simply a grandiose and outstanding fragrance.
My first thought when I smelled him for the first time was: "You are so unique!"
I find it just very unique and with clear recognition value marked.
So if you follow a tip from a member here and there, you will always find a real jewel.
And all my sexual partners who might be put off by the rose... Here it's interpreted rather subtly, subtle and "masculine", if you can say so...

Thank you dear Polli!
And thank you and have a nice 2nd Advent to all who have read along!
