What Makes a Creed Fragrance Exceptional?

May 17th, 2013

Founded in 1760 and based in Paris, The House of Creed is the world’s oldest privately owned fragrance dynasty.  Guided by master perfumer Olivier Creed, and his son Erwin, The House of Creed has gained incredible popularity over the years, namely due to its exclusivity and depth of offering.

As a client of Creed, you likely know that all Creed products are made by hand by Mr. Creed himself and a modest staff of just thirty-five people in the perfumer’s French countryside facility. Mr. Creed travels the world to personally purchase ingredients for his creations, trekking forests in Mysore for the best sandalwood, flying to Bulgaria for the richest essence of rose, sailing the Mediterranean coast for White jasmine from the Italian coast, Daffodils from the French Riviera, orange zest from Southern Spain…just to name a few of his worldly destinations.

The House of Creed’s artisan approach to perfumery allows for a beautifully orchestrated genuine experience with every bottle. We welcome you to browse The House of Creed’s online store to take a new journey through the experience of our scents.

Spring Collection

April 10th, 2013

In the midst of spring’s entrance, comes a truly marvelous transition into the fresh side of fragrance. In order to choose your signature CREED scent for the season, we suggest glancing into your own fragrance personality. This will help you determine if you prefer a bold fragrance that smells of a fresh, vibrant bouquet, such as Fleurs de Gardenia, or a clean, flowing fragrance, such as Silver Mountain Water.

The beauty behind the union of Spring and CREED Fragrances is the abundance of natural floral bouquets and raw materials, ingredients enamored by a breath of fresh air through the gardens of a countryside meadow. Creations such as Spring Flower for the feminine, Erolfa for those who enjoy the open air, and Love in White for the contemporary are available to depict your spring air.

We welcome you to visit  creedboutique.com to browse through this season’s collections.

Transition in the World of Fragrance

April 3rd, 2013

The House of CREED receives hundreds of inquiries from our well-informed clients. Recently, advice seekers have wondered this: “How does one transition to a new fragrance?” Switching from one scent family to another may seem challenging as there are many elements that may play in one’s choice; perhaps changes in season, a special occasion, a new job or simply a personal choice.

To switch from one category to another, the easiest way is to determine the “personality” or feeling of your current scent and then rediscover it in your next fragrance. For instance, if you are currently wearing Neroli Sauvage, a citrus perfume, you may enjoy transitioning to Royal Water, a green fragrance. Both share the same crisp finish, creating a smooth transition.

An alternative, and possibly more sophisticated, way of moving onto a new fragrance family is recognizing a similar texture in potential signature scents. There are a plethora of textures related to fragrance. These “consistencies” may include powdery, cold or velvety, just to name a few.

Examples include:

On behalf of the House of CREED, we welcome you to contact a specialist at www.creedboutique.com or the CREED boutique at 794 Madison Avenue at 67th Street in New York (1.877.273.3344) for a personal consultation.

Choosing Your Signature Fragrance

March 20th, 2013

The House of CREED offers an exquisite array of fragrances to choose from; therefore selecting one’s signature scent may, at times, seem challenging.

The first rule of selecting a fragrance is to think of other scents you’re attracted to. Let it be known to a CREED Specialist which fragrances you’ve worn in the past. This helps in determining a client’s comfort zone, whether that may be a more modern fragrance, such as Aventus, or basking in the classics of CREED’s Fleurissimo or Green Irish Tweed.

CREED Fragrances, as all perfumes, are composed of notes. The top note is the first to enamor your senses; the middle notes follow; and with time, the base is released, adding depth to the orchestrated bouquet.

Another cardinal rule to selecting a fragrance is to smell the scent upon your own skin. Allowing the fragrance to flower with one’s body temperature will allow the notes to expose dimensions of their own form. Understanding how perfume changes with varying skin chemistries is ideal.

For a personalized CREED experience, we welcome you to contact a CREED Specialist at your local authorized retailer, by using our Scent Finder Application or please visit the CREED Boutique in New York City located on Madison Avenue (212.439.7777).

Give Only Authentic CREED Fragrances

November 28th, 2012

Give the very best this holiday season by purchasing only guaranteed authentic CREED fragrances from the CREED family and company offered to customers at this site, the CREED boutique at 794 Madison Avenue in New York (877.273.3344), Neiman Marcus, Bergdorf Goodman, select Saks Fifth Avenue stores, select Nordstrom’s and Bloomingdale’s locations, Von Maur, Halls and Holt Renfrew.

Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, but counterfeit fragrances sold at discount prices on the web disappoint those who buy them and can irritate or even damage skin.

Green Irish Tweed, Millesime Imperial, Silver Mountain Water, Spring Flower, Fleurissimo and many other international icons of fragrance from the House of CREED are often copied, but never successfully.

Make sure you and those you care for enjoy the unsurpassed quality, legendary heritage and superb customer service of genuine CREED fragrances made by hand by the CREED family in France to suit royal standards.
