Woody, somewhat brittle lavender

A little fruit is also hidden in this old Creed. You just have to search for it a bit longer.

The "Scottish Lavender" comes across - compared to other, actually "classically" titled lavender scents (like "Pour un homme") - quite sparse, wood-heavy, and dull.

It seems to me that generously added amounts of clove and sandalwood are the cause. Although the aromas are somewhat well tailored to each other, a rather commodious, truly brittle wood note overlaps everything, which really doesn't win me over.

Sillage and longevity are - as is often the case with "Creed" - at best mediocre.
After an hour, a still quite clove-heavy wood-lavender potpourri remains on the skin, where the lavender somehow looks old. No, not really my thing.

By yon bonnie banks and by yon bonnie braes …

Panting and whistling, the old steam locomotive chugs up the hills.
Down below, far beneath us, lies Loch Lomond.
What vastness … what tranquility …

It is a leisurely journey, unhurried and restorative.
The sun reflects on the water, and the lake throws back myriads of dazzling sparks.
This light … you can almost taste it.
A Scottish summer lies within, a bit cool and not as bright as the summers of Provence, but it carries the same hopeful essence.
Green are the hills, sunlit and still.

Down there he may have once ridden ...
Bonnie Prince Charlie.
Past that old castle, over the stone bridge ...

We cross a small river, and now a strong, warm, blue note gradually blends into all that fresh green.
That is … yes, that is lavender!
Not the soft lavender of France, sun-kissed and cuddly.
It is a different, harder lavender, stricter, more intense, clearer.

It weaves through our journey with the bright sparkle of the lake and the lush green of the hills into a symphony, a harmony that carries us away into this vastness, this silence …

The sun has chased away the last clouds and warms the old, polished wood of our compartment.
We have opened the window, pulled down the leather strap worn by countless hands, enjoying the breeze that wafts over from the lavender fields.
Secretly we wish that this journey may never end …

....the morning after!

Sharp, sour citrus fruits lead over lavender and a clove-dominated, slightly animalistic heart into a subtly vanillic and natural sandalwood base.
It does not want to hide its age. Nothing modern, nothing lifted, it is what it is, an honest guy and that's a good thing!
Alcohol, perfume, aqua - end of the line and yet complex in its own way.
Its strength, also its weakness. The scent is not very long-lasting. After a good hour, there’s nothing left of it.
Then the surprise the next morning. Suddenly I perceive it again, very lightly, almost hidden and only sometimes - this very natural and beautiful sandalwood base.
Not the well-known millesime base. An almost independent EDT base, similar to Santal Imperial - truly wonderful.
Despite its extraordinary and completely out-of-time scent structure, hardly anyone will perceive it excessively even at high dosage, so it’s not necessarily a going-out fragrance.
An EDT that is probably intended exclusively for the wearer to perhaps dream of blooming lavender fields on a spring morning in the Highlands, from long-gone days. In fact, I somehow associate this scent with history and I like it very much. Fortunately, my aging bottle is not quite empty yet. I believe it is no longer so easy to obtain.
