I came across Royal Mayfair about two months after it officially launched in London. I remember I was on a vacation, and I didn’t take any perfume with me. Only the four official samples of the scent to give it a go while I’m traveling. I clearly remember the first whiffs promised a charm while the opening was outrageous.
Creed was always a house luxury to me, not a niche brand; if we take niche as a synonym for avant-garde and innovative. A house that releases safe and mass-pleasing perfumes in high-end quality. However, Royal Mayfair was something different from Creed’s established framework.
Opens on skin with a flash of eucalyptus that is daring and highly camphorous. A touch of gin and lime brings the scent to the gentlemen club level. Everything is like a mirage and the impact is instant. Piney ginny aroma thrives into a smoldering rose. Yes, a rose crawls in and out the greenness but it’s not fresh. It’s dry, fizzy, and burnt. It’s a rose apparently but it’s an unfloral one.
Royal Mayfair’s complex composition is the success key that makes the scent a top winner. A Perfume that is simultaneously a mob and a gentleman, sporty and elite, daring, high-end, and exceptionally stylish.
