Candles for a New Year & Any Celebration

January 23rd, 2012

Celebrate Chinese new year with CREED's Pekin Imperial candle from Paris.

Celebrating a new year, romance, marriage — or the simple joy of being at home – is finer with CREED’s luxury candle assortment that charms the air with a French accent of scent.

This week marks the Chinese new year, and CREED’s ruby-red Pekin Imperial candle is ideal for the celebration.  This hand-poured beeswax candle from Paris evokes the aroma of China’s largest palace with hand-picked spices, sandalwood, rose and verbena: pure exotic charm for any room of the home.

Three CREED candles match beloved CREED fragrances.  Green Irish Tweed, Spring Flower and Silver Mountain Water can all be enjoyed as scented candles blended in CREED’s French workshop.

CREED also offers the light and charming Cocktail de Pivoines (“Cocktail of Peonies”) scented candle, a personal favorite of the author of this blog.  CREED’s Riviera Flowers candle fills any room with fragrant blooms of warm southern France.  For a melange of finest rose and freesia, CREED’s Les Floralies candle is reverie in scent.  And CREED’s Mimosa Soleil (“Mimosa Sun”) candle has the light, uplifting aroma of mimosa flowers in sunlight, as engaging as its creator, Erwin CREED, 31, seventh generation of the house.

How Long Do CREED Fragrances Last?

January 17th, 2012

Store CREED fragrances like wine.

CREED receives thousands of questions by email, phone, in person and via social media every year, and we thought we’d share answers here to some of the most commonly asked questions.

Many ask, “How long do CREED fragrances last?”

Sixth-generation master perfumer Olivier CREED is on the record as saying that authentic CREED fragrances stored properly — like wine, out of direct sunlight, in a place of moderate, consistent temperature — can last up to six years or more.  That means showering rooms are not a good place to store CREED because of the frequent increases in temperature there.

So purchase authentic CREED with the knowledge that your investment is one to enjoy for years to come.

A Touch of Switzerland at Home

January 4th, 2012

During the holiday season, a CREED client in Hawaii wrote the company to say how much he’s enjoying Silver Mountain Water.  Clearly, it’s a fragrance of wide appeal among the discerning, as even customers in tropical climes value its fresh infusion of green tea and blackcurrant, bergamot, mandarin and petit grain inspired by alpine air and the bracing landscape of Gstaad, Switzerland, a location beloved by master perfumer Olivier CREED, an avid skier.

The Silver Mountain Water bottle itself resembles silver streams coursing over snow-covered alps.  This beloved classic can now be enjoyed in more ways than ever: a hand-blended fragrance offered in a range of sizes; an alcohol-free perfumed oil in a convenient 2.5 ounce spray; a hand-poured beeswax scented candle for the home; a generously sized hand-milled soap; a quick-to-lather, quick-to-rinse hair and body wash; and a long-lasting non-alcohol stick deodorant.  Silver Mountain Water is a fresh and revitalizing touch for the new year 2012.

CREED Holiday Gift Guide: For Her

December 16th, 2011

CREED offers an unparalleled selection for her this holiday.

A constellation of star fragrances and luscious bath products, deluxe products to scent the home divinely, fine leather travel accessories and more are all part of the unique CREED universe of luxury.  When shopping for that special woman this holiday season, here are a few helpful suggestions.

For a gift as charming and timeless as holiday spirit itself, select a women’s classic: Fleurs de Bulgarie, the fragrance of a queen, lavish with roses, the monarch of flowers; Jasmin Imperatrice Eugenie, the jasmine spell cast for the wife of Napoleon III; or Love In White, sometimes called “The White House fragrance,” worn by two modern First Ladies.

If she enjoys the new and sensational, the choice is White Flowers, a dream-like vision of flowering paradise, newly arrived in the US from France and already owned by leading American women.  Or select Jardin d’Amalfi (Amalfi Garden) to give her a December escape to Italy’s warm coast.  Make a modern, impeccable choice with new Royal-Oud, the young royal fragrance that gives back to charity — child health in India – with every purchase in North America.

Extend her holiday with a gift of hand-milled CREED soaps from France that will wrap her in fine scent day after day.  CREED soap aromas match beloved CREED perfumes: Spring Flower, Fleurissimo, Love In White and Love in Black.  An encore of performance comes in CREED bath and shower gels, lavishly foaming and lightly fragrant, plus deeply nourishing and scented CREED body lotions.

Give a gift that never leaves her: a take-anywhere 1.7 ounce, leather-wrapped CREED atomizer that she can fill and refill with any CREED fragrance, sold separately.  If you wish, tuck it into a luxurious CREED leather travel-grooming kit that holds all her cosmetics in a single, durable and elegant tote hand stitched in France.

On the holiday night — and every night — welcome her home with a CREED hand-poured beeswax scented candle.  From its flickering flame curls gentle aroma of quality only CREED can offer.

With these superb hand-made creations for her, we extend best wishes for a joyous holiday.

CREED Holiday Gift Guide: For Him

December 15th, 2011

CREED offers perfect gifts for men at holiday time.

The world’s most lavish selection of luxury fragrances, bath and shaving amenities, products to scent the home to perfection, leather goods to transport CREED fragrances everywhere: All of these are part of the vast and inviting world of CREED, the world’s only private luxury fragrance dynasty passed from father to son since 1760.  When shopping for the gentleman this season, here are a few helpful suggestions.

For the man who is difficult to buy for, invest in a classic fragrance that has stood the tests of time and taste.  Bound to please are Green Irish Tweed, an icon from LA to Cannes in its matte black bottle; Imperial Millesime, the gold-labeled gold standard in fine scent; or Bois du Portugal (“Portugal Woods”), the fragrance of the masculine outdoors.

Add luxury to his shower-and-shave routine with CREED hand-milled soaps scented to match favorite CREED fragrances, including Green Irish Tweed, Original Vetiver, Silver Mountain Water and Original Santal.  Meanwhile, a quick-to-lather, quick-to-rinse CREED shower gel, fragrant and effective, makes ritual a pleasure.  CREED’s foaming shaving soaps in their own wooden bowls give the closest, most excellent shave.  Top it off with a soothing, lightly scented after-shave balm.

Give the gift of a neater basin and easier journeys with CREED’s take-anywhere Italian leather travel-grooming kits, hand stitched in France, with double-zip compartments for wet and dry items, so strong they’ve been used by US troops.  Or give a black leather-wrapped shatterproof bottle that he can fill and refill with 1.7 ounces of any CREED fragrance (sold separately).  With silver or gold engraved metal touches, it’s an accoutrement like no other.  It can even be used as aircraft carry-on.

For the man who is presidential in stature, give new CREED Royal-Oud, the fragrance appreciated by two former U.S. Presidents.  It’s a gift of superb hand creation and conscience, as part of proceeds from sales benefits charity: rural medical services in India, where the priceless ingredient oud originates.
