8.4 ounce CREED flacon
What is a flacon? This is a great question we often receive. When a 1-ounce, 2.5-ounce or 4-ounce spray bottle of your favorite CREED fragrance isn’t enough, a flacon (which means “bottle” or “decanter” in French) is the right choice. Sized at 8.4 ounces — and, in some cases, 17 ounces — CREED flacons offer clients the chance to acquire their favorite fragrance in a quantity that is large and economical over the long run.
CREED flacons — like CREED spray bottles — are made by France’s famed Pochet glassworks from sand quarried a few miles from the CREED workshop in the French countryside. CREED flacons are works of art in themselves. Each one is handblown and sealed with a cut-glass stopper that fits into the flacon neck, in perfumery’s classic tradition.
CREED flacons are beautiful today, but also historical. With minor design changes, CREED flacons look in 2010 the way they did in the 18th century. That is one reason why CREED flacons have a busy career on the silver screen. Keep your eyes peeled for CREED flacons that appear in stylish films — and television shows — thanks to film and TV art directors who request them from our headquarters.
(Editor’s note in response to a reader question: CREED does not pay — or compensate in any way — any person or entity for the appearance of a CREED product in a TV broadcast, film or other entertainment production.)
But if CREED flacons do not have spray tops, how can clients dispense fragrance from them? Another good question.
Other than the CREED Royal Exclusives Collection — a trio of three new fragrances coming in 2010 — CREED flacons do not have spray tops. A CREED atomizer — or refillable travel spray bottle — is therefore the ideal companion for a CREED flacon. Filling the atomizer from the flacon — easily done at home or by the CREED specialist at your nearest authorized retailer — fragrance can be transported anywhere, even on commercial aircraft as carry-on at 1.7 ounces. Wrapped in Italian leather available in a range of colors, CREED atomizers are attractive and shatterproof.
Whether you’re shopping for CREED Imperial Millesime, Green Irish Tweed or Spring Flower in a flacon, always be sure to acquire CREED flacons and atomizers from authorized retailers, including this site, which is CREED’s official online boutique, at Neiman Marcus (1-800-937-9146), Bergdorf Goodman (212-872-2729), the CREED store in New York (1-877-CREED 44) open seven days, select Saks Fifth Avenue stores, select Nordstrom’s or select Bloomingdale’s. Objects of beauty often poorly imitated, CREED flacons and atomizers are guaranteed authentic only when purchased from these sellers.
