Warmer weather opens the door to a collection of CREED fragrances for men and women that are a lush trove of citrusy, herbal, floral or sea-fresh creations unequaled in power to revive and invigorate — the perfect complement to summer’s pleasures and antidote to the season’s heat.
CREED Erolfa is a bracing dose of cool sea air, a personal homage to CREED family outings on the Mediterannean Sea. Oceanic, cool and smooth as sea glass, Erolfa reveals beneath its shimmering surface fine herbal notes and citrus tones for the perfect summer scent. It gets its moniker from the names of master perfumer Olivier CREED’s beloved family: His son, Erwin, his daughter, Olivia and their mother, Fabienne. Few CREED fragrances are as refreshing and revealing as Erolfa, a true labor of love by Olivier CREED.
The cooling properties of exotic Moroccan and Italian jasmine are summoned expertly in CREED Jasmal. It has been described as a breeze in the simmering shade of a jasmine-rich garden in afternoon. Made with bergamot, ambergris and galbanom as well as jasmine, Jasmal is the ideal summer garden party fragrance, a bit of summer enchantment in a single, lavish scent.
CREED Neroli Sauvague — or “wild neroli flower” — evokes summer’s festive air and the carefree celebration that is part of summer days and nights. Named for the irrepressible Duchess of Nerola, whose royal gardens were lush with neroli flower, this fragrance recalls her summer festivals, which featured the practice — unusual today — of guests crushing neroli flower on the skin of the guest seated beside them, filling the party with the fresh, invigorating neroli scent.
CREED Chevrefeuille — which means “honeysuckle” — is a trip to the CREED summer home in Normandy, France, where Olivier CREED, as a boy, inhaled the summer-sweet aroma from lush honeysuckle vines that grew on a backyard wall. As an adult, Mr. CREED wanted to recreate the lightness of spirit and summer joy of honeysuckle in a fragrance for his clients, and the masterful result is Chevrefeuille.
Add to these the great and famous CREEDs including Spring Flower, the apple, peach, melon and rose blend in its signature pink bottle, Imperial Millesime, the gold standard in fragrance at anytime of year, Original Vetiver, rich with essence of vetiver grass from Haiti blended in Paris, Citrus Bigarrade, the Calabrian lemon sensation for men and women, Zeste Mandarine Pamplemousse, the essence-of-grapefruit refresher that was Mr. CREED’s first public creation as master perfume in 1975 and so many more, and summer becomes a cascade of scent to accompany fine memories that unfold under brilliant sun, by surging seas, on warm sands or anywhere summer takes you.
