More about Creed Royal Water
Royal Water by Creed is a 1997 unisex citrus aromatic fragrance, an invigorating celebration of the spirit. Creed Royal Water opens with top notes that form a fresh citrus infusion of bergamot, lemon and mandarin orange, joined by peppermint and verbena. It is followed by juniper berry and basil, with cumin and pink pepper adding a spiced, herbal heart. Musk and ambergris form the base notes, with cedar. The accords read citrus, fresh spicy and aromatic, with a green, powdery edge. Wearers mostly reach for Royal Water in summer and spring, largely when the day is bright and busy. Anyone after a crisp, herbal citrus scent for warm weather, whether for work or a casual day out, will find that Royal Water fits, with green and powdery touches, and it suits both workdays and relaxed days off.
