Description
Royal Ceylan is a limited edition fragrance.
Five special 1.7-ounce leather-wrapped shatterproof bottles, intensely colored and varying in pattern, were developed for Royal Ceylan.
From the Creed website: Rich with meaning, the lotus flower is known for its power to induce romance. In five ancient temples of Ceylan, lotus drawings decorate the walls, a sign of the flower’s honor and value. In Ceylan’s palaces, lotus flowers live in crystal waters, a symbol of good luck. In 1953, the Ceylan lotus flower was stitched in the coronation gown of Queen Elizabeth, who as Great Britain’s monarch was also the modern Queen of Ceylan. Today, the lotus flower is known worldwide as a symbol of greatest calm.
Composition: absolute of green tea, bitter rice, Jamaican ginger, Calabrian bergamot, Sicilian tangerine; lotus flower, white-tip platinum tea, sea salt; vetiver, cedar, lemon, petit-grain. Royal Ceylan was launched in 2006. Royal Ceylan was created by Olivier Creed Sixth Generation and Erwin Creed Seventh Generation.

I have this as part of a Creed sampler set. It’s rather unusual and to me, rather unpleasant. The top notes of citrus are very transient, and it settles via some green tea notes into a blend of tobacco and tea. Remember when beauty amagzines used to recommend using cooled used teabags on your eyes to deal with puffiness? This smells like used and slightly musty generic tea bags mixed with tobacco, rather like a working mans club. There is no floral, no sweetness, and no real spice. It is very long lasting-I was still getting whiffs of tea 12 hours later.

This is lovely but very different. Royal Ceylan is best when accompanied by another Creed Fragrance. I use it with Fleurissimo or Indiana.
