Creed Royal Water Review
This is the new bottle of Creed Royal Water, 4 ounces, in millesime strength, sitting on my desk in the Gilded Life office. We have been spraying it throughout the day and the pleasant, sweet, soft fragrance clearly lends itself to a unisex luxury perfume that is calming and refined.
Creed Royal Water, originally released in 1997, is a unisex fragrance designed for the next generation of royals. As the House of Creed puts it, “Fresh and cool, Royal Water is an invigorating celebration of personal spirit. Regal, refined, yet refreshingly approachable – just like the young royals of the House of Windsor.”
Frankly, we couldn’t agree more. Unlike the hype that surrounds some perfume houses, this isn’t just marketing speak. Creed Royal Water isn’t presumptuous or arrogant at all; a gentleman or lady could just as easily wear it attending a state dinner or spending a night at home with the family, wearing pajamas and watching a movie. It is soft, sweet, and respectable.
To us, Creed Royal Water reminds one of when you sink into a clean, cool, luxury pillow after a long day. No matter how hard you fall into bed, your landing is going to be muted and comfortable. Of the thousands of fragrances we’ve come across, there is nothing quite like this magnificent treasure.
Creed Royal Water Notes
The fragrance notes found in Creed Royal Water – the top notes, middle notes, and base notes, are as follows:
Top Notes: Fresh Citrus Infusion with Peppermint
Middle Notes: Juniper Berry, Basil
Base Notes: Musk, Ambergris
The fragrance notes come together in a way that is totally unexpected. You need to get your hands on a sample to truly appreciate it.
Creed Royal Water comes in millesime strength, which is the same as Eau de Parfum. This is the second highest concentration of fragrance available on the market, with only perfume extract coming in higher. That means it will last hours longer than Eau de Toilette or cologne fragrances and cannot be compared to those on a cost per ounce basis.
Famous Wearers of Creed Royal Water
According to Creed’s distinguished clientele list, Creed Royal Water has been worn by Elton John, Bette Midler, Victoria Beckham, and designer Dennis Basso.
Available Sizes and Prices for Bottles of Creed Royal Water
Once you’ve decided to purchase a bottle of Creed Royal Water, you have several choices.
- A 2.5 ounce / 75 ml bottle that retails for $210.00
- A 4.0 ounce / 120 ml bottle that retails for $250.00
- An 8.4 ounce / 250 ml flacon that retails for $320.00
As you can see, the 8.4 ounce flacon represents the greatest value for your money, costing $38.10 per ounce instead of the $84.00 per ounce you would pay with a 2.5 ounce bottle. These larger flacons require an atomizer that must be purchased separately.
There are rumors flying that the Creed fragrances will experience a 5% to 10% increase in price in the next week, so these prices may be higher very, very soon.
The large flacon bottle of Creed Royal Water comes in at 8.4 ounces and retails for $320.00 in the United States. It requires an atomizer, which must be purchased separately.
You should note that Creed controls its distribution model tightly. You cannot buy Creed fragrances at a discount. The only way you will ever see a bottle of Creed selling for less than retail is if it is 1.) counterfeit, 2.) past its shelf life date and department stores won’t sell it for the sake of their reputation, or 3.) used. Really. We promise – it just isn’t possible and you will probably be cheated out of your money if you try to be clever.
Where You Can Buy Creed Royal Water
Creed fragrances can be purchased at fine retailers throughout the world. In the United States, this includes Bergdorf Goodman, Saks, Halls, and Neiman Marcus. You can also order online from the official Creed Boutique, which operates a store in New York City.
