Blooms bought during CREED family travels are shipped to CREED in France.
Having shipped their latest creations — including new Royal-Oud, Original Cologne, White Flowers plus Silver Mountain Water and Love In White perfumed oils — to the United States and other countries around the world, CREED, like many family-owned companies in France, closes for the remainder of August. Yet work does not stop. Yachtsman Olivier CREED takes to the high seas with his son, Erwin, not merely to unwind, but also to visit Mediterranean ports that are thriving markets for fresh flowers, spices, fruits and other essences father and son will use to make new fragrances for 2012.
Purchasing the best from growers who send the bounty to Paris by the bushel or gross, CREED father and son know their summer voyage ends with an eager return to France where the natural supplies they acquired await them. During their journey by sea, a definite port of call is the glittering Amalfi coast of Italy, where lush blooms serve as a longtime inspiration for Olivier CREED. Look for a new fragrance in 2012 based on the native blooms of this scenic, seaside region of Italy.
