    I had been so focused on obtaining a sample of Creed’s Iris Tubereuse that I had inadvertently dismissed the rest of this Acqua Originale line. Aberdeen Lavander is a stunning fragrance and may even appeal to those that usually aren’t fans of lavender scents.
    Aberdeen Lavander is incredibly soothing and somewhat powdery on my skin. Lavender is naturally the most dominant note, followed by aromatic rosemary, dry vetiver, green patchouli and sweet tuberose. This fragrance does tend to lean more feminine rather than masculine, but then again I haven’t smelt this on a man’s skin yet.
    Aberdeen Lavander reminds me of Annick Goutal’s Eau de Lavande. The Creed is more fresh and delicate, however, they both share a similar powdery drydown. It’s a shame that both these scents are now discontinued. We are severely lacking a decent range of lavender scents in the current fragrance market.
    I would happily wear Aberdeen Lavander in both Autumn, Winter and Spring. As I live in Australia, where our summers are harsh and uncomfortable, I would never reach for such a powdery scent. But in saying that, if your Summer months are more tolerable, you could definitely wear Aberdeen Lavander all year round.
    This Acqua Originale line doesn’t last quite as well as the fragrances in Creed’s regular line-up. They are Eau de Parfums however and do last an average of four hours on my skin regardless of the weather.

    This is a very elegant fragrance, though not very powerful. Others have likened it to Bois du Portugal and for me there is ever so faint a wisp of that. It reminds me more of a VERY toned down version of Caron pour Homme. It is nice, but for me not worth the price of admission…

    I do not get the comparisons to Bois Du Portugal. I LOVE LOVE LOVE this one….BDP not so much! And why isn’t absinthe/anise listed in the notes? To me, thats the most prominent note.

    This stuff is just bad. Worst perfume opening I have smelled from the House of Creed thus far. Smells like pissy herbaceous foot powder followed by a better vintage cinammon. If you want a good lavender scent by Creed, Bois du Portugal is superior in every way…eats Aberdeen Lavender for breakfast.

    Bois du Portugal light or Bois du Portugal Sport…
    I cannot say it otherwise…if you like a softer version of Bois du Portugal, a tiny bit more powdery and a little less bold (not that BDP is that bold) and a little less masculine ..Then this is your thing…
    An ok one from Creed.
    7,5/10

    A dry herbal lavender that unfortunately dries down to a sticky powdery note that reminds me of medicated foot powder. I sometimes get this with vintage leather notes, so if you like the dry down of, say, En Avion, you might get the effect here, plus lavender. Not my thing.

    Very disappointed in Aberdeen Lavender, having loved Bois du Portugal, the other Lavender-heavy Creed offering. This, has none of Bois du Portugal’s charm and is a mess of Lavender, Lily and Leather with very little change in scent during it’s life time. It does have pretty good longevity however, as do most Creed’s (in my experience).
    I’m surprised it’s listed as unisex, as I found it to be incredibly feminine.

    This has an accord that belies its listed notes. Not sure how to describe it but it’s interesting.

    This is by far the worst Creed ever, and I have tried 10 of them.
    Opens with a blast of cinnamon, bitter Artemsia and rosemary, the lilly begins to appear after 10 minutes.
    This is a lot of raunchiness with a half way decent lilly note.
    Waste of time and money…
    Creed classifies it as an oriental, that’s why there is a huge cinnamon note that is persistantly strong for the first hour.
    There are no distinct floral notes, they are very well hidden and blended in with the masculine spicy notes.
    This starts out like Francis Kurkdjian ‘s Fleur du Male, spicy and oriental, but the florals never hardy shine, as in Fleur du Male.

    Freshly sprayed, this is an amazing amalgam of notes that to me aren’t individually discernible, but have an overall effect of a creamy, sweet porridge. I know that sounds weird, but that’s what I took away from it.
    Scent…8/10…lovely and rich when first applied it is, unfortunately, like Scottish sunshine, very fleeting
    Projection 4/10…very minimal after about 45 minutes to an hour.
    Fortitude 5/10….sits close…very close….for 4 to 5 hours and then it’s gone
    Full bottle worthy…no way at creed prices…I would be hard pressed to spend one third of the amount this costs. It’s undeniably well constructed with proper ingredients like all creeds perfumes, but that’s not good enough here.

    After reading all these wonderful reviews, I wonder if my bottle went bad or if its just me. I have tested it numerous times but I don’t get the “heavenly scent” you all describe.

    Fragrance Review For Aberdeen Lavender
    Creed
    Top Notes
    Bergamot Orange Lemon Rosemary Artemisia
    Middle Notes
    Lavender Lily Rose Tuberose
    Base Notes
    Vetiver Leather Patchouli
    One of the all time best lavender fragrances in the Creed fragrance line. Lavender. What can be more English than lavender. This is not a lavender soliflore but the notes are all designed to come back to lavender. Pastoral, purple, spicy and unisex lavender. It’s not a bouquet of lavender. Rather it is a field of lavender. It’s lavender for days. Lavender on your hair. The scent is potent so don’t put too much of it on. And while it is expensive, it does not mean it has to replace other superb and more affordable lavender scents like Old English Lavender by Yardley or the lavender in Oh! de London by Tuvache. This is a more full bodied and more long lasting version of those lavender scents.
    The opening is citrusy. Nothing special just fresh and perfumy old time barbershop citrus after shave. Then there is a mixture of floral scents that can be detected and identified as lavender, rosemary, lily and rose. There’s enough of the lavender to make it a supreme lavender but it’s married to rosemary which is a note I’ve always thought smelt quite similar to lavender. The rose matches up with the citrus so this is more of an orange rose and even a bit like a tiny orange blossom. The lily and tuberose white floral scents are lovely and finish the fragrance’s middle stage.
    The dry down is like a man’s soap. It has darker and stronger aggressive notes of patchouli and vetiver. It’s earthy, green and aromatic. It throws out enormous sillage. The scent is best applied with a light hand. I put some on on my chest. The scent lingers and fills the air with it’s pastoral and green Irish hill aura.
    Absolutely gorgeous.

    About my experience with AL.
    Opens with a somewhat harsh and crisp lavender that could turn some people off, as it did me the first time I tried it.
    I decided to ‘revisit’ the perfume one day when I was craving lavender recently.
    This one REALLY needs to develope on the skin. Give it 10 minutes for the lavender to soften with the leather’s following, for it to settle into a divine and cozy scent that lasts for around 4 hours. (I wish it lasted a bit longer.) I enjoy this one best when applied to my wrists or elbows and I’m constantly sniffing myself and LOVING this gorgeous perfume. ADORE wearing this to bed. Wonderfully ‘soothing!’
    There’s a bottle at my bedside, permanently.
    Maybe one of Creed’s most underrated gems! It deserved a ‘nicer’ name Mr Creed!
    Perhaps Royal Lavender? :))))
    *** 4 days after posting this review, I had to buy a bottle! How exciting! Love this perfume.

    Opens up with a relaxing minty lavender. This is the lavender i like, the one found in Cool Water and in La Nuit. Sweet.
    A few seconds later… no, stop… NO! Le horreur! It transformed from the gentle lavender into the kouros bathhouse monster smell of the 80s. So disappointing, I rather it smelled like a cleaning product all day long. The drydown gets better, fixes up the mess with a powdery patchouli. In a nutshell, not a lavender centered scent.

    Wow…what a pleasant fragrance.
    So, I just received my bottle in the mail and I am so excited. First, if you are not careful the initial spray could turn you off being heavy fern-like. Give this a chance to enhance and evolve into its goodness!!
    This fragrance is very fougere, yet, oriental. This fragrance is a little spicy…brings to mind the idea of Christmas. The dry down is AMAZING; at first, I thought it smelled like something I’ve smelled before, however, it changed into its goodness before I knew it and then I was like, “This is awesome!” Unlike any thing I have smelled before. The interesting thing is, I bought this as a blind buy at a really great deal and I am glad I did!!!
    This fragrance is masculine, but could be classified as a unisex fragrance. You do get the powdery element in the beginning, however, it moves backstage and this sweet fern comes out.
    Try this…again, it is not like other fragrances. Totally different and good!!!!

    Do you know that a full bottle of Creed Aberdeen Lavender cost as much as one month minumum wage in Malaysia, around RM900?
    That’s half of my monthly paycheck.
    Seriously, I cannot afford full bottle of this gem but I do own 2ml vial sample of Creed Aberdeen Lavender which I seldomly use except for special occasions like attend wedding, festivals or ceremony.
    Creed Aberdeen Lavender, you are the Rolls Royce of perfume arena.

    What an encounter!
    I wear it on my wrist and can’t stop myself following the decay of this fragrance…;) Next to that warm lavender sensation that runs next to a leathery dry vanilla, I smell bitter almonds and even a slightly animal civet.
    I can’t wait to fall in someones arm wearing Aberdeen Lavender, or is it the fragrance itself I prefer to embrace… or swim in it…? 😉

    I don’t know what other people are smelling when they say this smells like cleaning products (maybe they are picking up on the lavender). I have some cleaning products that have lavender in them. This is the only similarity. This fragrance is a smooth, comforting somewhat herbal lavender. It lays upon a bed of leather with lilies and patchouli sprinkled around. There is the faint scent of roses and tuberose coming from the garden it is laid out in front of. There is also Artemisia and rosemary mixed with the flowers in the garden. Lemon trees border the garden in the distance. I know vanilla is not listed in ingredients on Fragrantica, but I am picking up a bit of vanilla next to the leather. This is a gorgeous scent. Faintly sweet. But such a cozy and comfy scent. It makes you want to spray your sheets with it and sleep with the fragrance surrounding you. No one will mind, and everyone will love, hugging you. If coming home has a smell. this is it.

    I won this in a drawing.
    The first spray of this is like a toxic cleaning product. It’s is really awful.
    Then it settles down into a cheap old fashion lavender.
    I can’t believe they charge so much for this. It is definitely not worth it.

    Retesting.. A musky, sweet, lavender. Chocolatey and animalic. (sniff-sniff) Every-time I smell this, I get flash backs to L’air Du Desert Moroccan. It smells like a gourmand version without the smoke. I wonder why this isn’t popular.

    Open with a strong medicine herbal smell.
    Minutes later…ooowhhh so wonderful smell. Feel so good throughout the day. Whoever created this one is a pure genius!
    I detected some chocolate aroma there. Is it just me?

    Very single note to me. Soft and lovely but too overwhelmingly lavender for me.

    I don’t live close to a Saks. Was recently in Indy and made sure I stopped at the Creed counter at Saks. Was introduced to this new fragrance. Was told they didn’t carry it in the store and it only came in one size @ $300.00 a pop. I loved the scent as it was so different from anything I’d ever smelled before but couldn’t bring myself to spend 300 for something I hadn’t tried out for a day or two. The nice lady at the counter gave me a generous sample. She had to register me for the sample, but it was worth it! I’m looking forward to trying it now that I’m home.

    A refreshing yet deep scent, slightly herbal and very aromatic !
    I really love it. It’s great for both sexes, the leather is freshened by the the lavender the Rose and the tuberose , the patchouli makes this earthy and elegant .
    The leather note is delicate but has a persistent presence through out along with the patchouli , it’s deep and devine !
    It’s a great refreshing yet deep scent.
    I can see this working extremly well in the summer. Very different from most scents out there. I wore this in the car the other day picking up my son from school and he said , mom you smell really good !
    I could see this scent on a man , in the summer , wearing jeans and a T shirt , it’s masculine in a way ,,,, attractive , clean but warm and deep and aromatic.
    I like Ritarudnas review bellow ,,, it is sort of Amber gourmand vanilla ,,,, that’s the warm cozy quality about it. The patch and leather gives it that full feeling. That depth.
    Desdals review is faboulus as well!

    This kind of milky lavender fougere is an elegant and lovely thing but ultimately I find it a little boring.
    I can’t understand why people rave so much about Caron Homme? Lavender is a lovely smell, especially when it smells natural but that perfume is far too linear and I don’t get the comparisons to this.
    Luckily this outing from Creed follows more in the footsteps of Invasion Barbare or a taste of heaven, just smelling expensive & warm without any need for heaviness.
    Well, firstly…wow!
    This might even be my favourite Creed fragrance in first impression terms…Aberdeen Lavender is nothing short of stunning.
    The opening is magnificent, almost smokey lavender which is so well balanced and with slightly darker appeal to it, similar to Dior Eau Noire. This is typically well presented in the style of a classic fougere but has elements of citrus/herbal/leather/resin/vanilla/musk everything but blended to perfection. The fleeting very top notes of bergamot and lemon turn quickly into a natural and almost perfect lavender. The lavender and rosemary have dare I say, a slightly minty quality at first which freshens up proceedings further. This instantly combines with a soft, yet deep, leather heart note which is the main theme of this perfume.
    I honestly thought the longevity sucked as it does die down rapidly and actually turns to a very subdued skin scent but is still there. The base turns out to be a kind of ambery vanilla, supporting the soft leather and in the end longevity isn’t too bad.
    I couldn’t ask for more than a fougere fragrance with a oriental base, this stuff is smart and I really like it.
    However, I think it’s the kind of fragrance most will think is okay and nothing more but something about Aberdeen lavender really speaks to me personally.
    I’m not sure whether I can justify this as a purchase priority because it’s not a powerhouse in longevity or projection, however those attributes are not always synonymous with quality, because that’s what you have here… A quality scent. I definitely think it’s worth a sniff because I was pleasantly surprised.

    Jasminalia- you are so right, a modern Jicky. I smelled this and was instantly reminded of something but couldn’t quite place the smell memory and then it came to me, it was Jicky. I absolutely love this. It’s refined, subtle, warm and interesting and it propelled me to commit to a full bottle. I stopped wearing Jicky a while ago as it no longer resembles the old one but this is an excellent substitute. Special.

    This is truly beautiful. Thanks to a delightful and knowledgeable sales rep at Neiman’s I have a sample of this and am trying it for the first time. At first it reminded me of men’s cologne but as it dried down I get a beautiful subtle lavender and rosemary. I don’t know why but something is also coming across as vanilla. Sillage is mild to moderate and provides a feeling of cozy comfort. This is a unisex fragrance and can be worn at any given time and is especially suited for “no-scent” offices (if done carefully), bedtime or any time where one needs to feel cozy, safe and sound. Since it’s pricey, I will continue to test and if it becomes a “buy” I will go to the trouble of making the purchase from the very kind and knowledgeable sales guy at Neiman’s.

    i purchased this one a few days ago and i never feel
    regret about the price,starting with notes it’s not
    very familiar at all,the main notes here is lavender
    surrounding by bergamot and lemon and the other notes
    are hidden but ,they are doing a very good job with the main notes,very comfortable and elegant you can wear it in any time you like there is no specific time for it,very modern lavender smell,you will feel that once you own it.
    projection:5 hours maybe 6
    last for 8 hours or 10 hours.
    overall:10/10

    I did not try it on my skin as when I smelled it on the paper, I did not like it at all. I think it is a masculine scent, but based on the other reviews, I feel that I have to give it a skin test to see how it works out with my chemistry. The lavender note was the most noticeable, and I did not care for that.

    For me a kind of Royal Scottish Lavender….sweeter and a little powdery

    Very well blended, aromatic, confortable, warm, woody fragrance.
    On my skin it opens with bergamote/rosemary notes, than lavender and amber come together. Tuberose and rose add some sweet and silky roundness.
    Patchouli, vetiver and leather (very soft leather, suede) stay on my skin. It’s not overwhelming but soft and sweet and warm…
    If you like ambery scents this is a must have for the fall/winter season, like a comfortable cashmere sweater 🙂
    Very good staying power. Projection is moderate, so elegant and classy!
    10/10

    Strongly disagree with jasminalia.
    Opens with a spicy, leathery, lavender. The Artemisia is the strongest top note. It smells like fenel and tarragon. The citrus is not very prominent which is unusual for creed. The heart of the fragrance is very sexy. The lavender and tube rose dance around with each other so well. The lily adds sweetness to the fragrance with rose lending its powder and coolness. It really has such a nice heart, with good projection as well. The rosemary still lingers around making it very wearable for a gentleman. After a few hours the base comes to the surface. Creed does something very special with its base notes. They are just strong enough to be noticed by the people around you, the leather is not very noticeable at the end, it was much more noticeable in the opening and heart, but the patchouli and vetiver softly kiss your nose good bye. I really enjoy this fragrance. It lasts a long time and has something special to it. try it out you might like it.

    A very good scent. It’s an ambery fougère with slightly animalic notes. Lavender is not aromatic, neither prominent. A modern Jicky !
