Start the Day with CREED Soaps

Monday, February 27th, 2012

Every day starts better with the rich, fragrant lather of hand-milled CREED soaps from France precisely scented to match beloved CREED fragrances: Silver Mountain Water, Green Irish Tweed, Himalaya, Original Santal, Original Vetiver, Virgin Island Water, Fleurissimo, Love In White, Love In Black and, of course, Spring Flower.

Each soap is quick to lather, quick to rinse and leaves skin clean and lightly fragrant, ready for next options in a deluxe CREED grooming regimen: CREED body lotions, long-lasting non-alcohol stick deodorants and, of course, hand blended fragrances, all from Paris.

The CREED grooming experience can be enjoyed at home, at the gym or on the road with superbly foaming, quick rinsing and fragrant CREED hair and body washes (or bath and shower gels) in 6.8 ounce shatterproof bottles that can be stowed in checked bags.

CREED, Mardi Gras & Carnival

Wednesday, February 22nd, 2012

Perhaps it’s the French flavor of New Orleans or the fragrant, tropical seaside breezes of Rio that make Mardi Gras and Carnival perfect holidays to celebrate with CREED.

CREED Aventus is inspired by the self-made success of Louisiana’s one-time ruler, Napoleon, and it contains a touch of aromatic birch from the region.  Aventus is a fitting Mardi Gras selection wherever you spend the holiday.

CREED Zeste Mandarine Pamplemousse is a celebration sketched in fragrance, a lively blend of bergamot, mandarin and grapefruit with white flowers.  It’s the first creation of Olivier CREED as master perfumer in 1975, bringing a light mood and youthful mastery to the fragrance dynasty passed from father to son since 1760.

With these and more than 40 more hand-blended offerings, CREED wishes you happy moments in midwinter celebration.

CREED and Fashion Week

Thursday, February 9th, 2012

Does the House of CREED participate in the festivities of New York Fashion Week?

As a small, family-owned and family-run French company offering hand made creations, CREED does not produce the quantity of fragrances needed to participate in big Fashion Week parties and events, although CREED is flattered when asked.

In the US, CREED has wonderful clients, and among them are fashion designers to whom we send best wishes this week, including Dennis Basso, a friend and neighbor whose boutique is near CREED’s at 67th Street and Madison Avenue in New York.

CREED sends every good wish to young designer Wes Gordon, whose classic style has won him great notice – and major awards.

The up-and-coming label known as Ruffian never fails to charm Fashion Week with its creations, and CREED sends its good wishes to the Ruffian design team who wear CREED.

Designer Peter Som is a friend of the House of CREED.

We send best wishes to all for every success this week on the runways.

For Love This Valentine’s Day

Wednesday, February 1st, 2012

Rich red Original Santal for Valentine's Day.

Valentine’s Day is just ahead, and CREED is prepared to offer the perfect gift that states in fragrance your feelings for that certain someone.

CREED Original Santal is the Valentine blend of excellent sandalwood from Mysore, India (“City of Palaces”) plus cinnamon for warmth, dreamlike vanilla and more.  This jewel for men and women is available in sizes from one ounce to four, suiting your needs.

Fragrances that express love — Love In White, worn by two First Ladies fiercely loyal to their husbands, and Love In Black, evoking the brunette mystery of America’s Camelot queen – are the gifts that speak where words can fail.

If proposal of marriage is contemplated, CREED Fleurissimo is the selection.  This fragrance has a unique place in the history of romance, worn by an American girl when she became a real-life princess on her wedding day.
