A Touch of Switzerland at Home

Wednesday, January 4th, 2012

During the holiday season, a CREED client in Hawaii wrote the company to say how much he’s enjoying Silver Mountain Water.  Clearly, it’s a fragrance of wide appeal among the discerning, as even customers in tropical climes value its fresh infusion of green tea and blackcurrant, bergamot, mandarin and petit grain inspired by alpine air and the bracing landscape of Gstaad, Switzerland, a location beloved by master perfumer Olivier CREED, an avid skier.

The Silver Mountain Water bottle itself resembles silver streams coursing over snow-covered alps.  This beloved classic can now be enjoyed in more ways than ever: a hand-blended fragrance offered in a range of sizes; an alcohol-free perfumed oil in a convenient 2.5 ounce spray; a hand-poured beeswax scented candle for the home; a generously sized hand-milled soap; a quick-to-lather, quick-to-rinse hair and body wash; and a long-lasting non-alcohol stick deodorantSilver Mountain Water is a fresh and revitalizing touch for the new year 2012.

CREED Aventus to Debut

Creed Aventus

Olivier CREED, sixth generation master perfumer, will soon send to the United States — before all other countries — his latest creation, called AVENTUS, a new fragrance for men (also adored by women) honoring the traits of strength, power, vision and success.

CREED Aventus is inspired by the dramatic life of one of history’s greatest emperors, who waged war, peace and romance on terms he set, riding on horseback to victory. CREED Aventus will debut within several weeks at www.creedboutique.com and at CREED at 794 Madison Avenue at 67th Street in Manhattan (1.877.CREED 44 or 212.439.7777).

Part of proceeds from U.S. sales of Aventus will benefit American Rivers, a nonprofit group protecting U.S. waterways from damage.

The ingredients for CREED Aventus were hand selected at points worldwide by Erwin CREED, seventh generation of CREED and its designated future head, using the same unerring focus on quality and sustainability that have been hallmarks of CREED for 250 years. Chosen essences were then shipped to CREED’s workshop in France, where CREED father and son created a blend of superb style and enduring fine taste, using methods of hand production instituted at the founding of CREED in 1760.
