CREED Room Sprays

CREED Room Sprays

CREED fragrances such as CREED Green Valley, CREED Love in Black and CREED Erolfa are the perfect finishing touch for the well-dressed man or woman. CREED also provides superb ambience for the home.

CREED room sprays are blended by master perfumer Olivier CREED in his French country workshop alongside CREED fragrances for the body. A major difference is that Mr. CREED uses much higher concentrations of natural ingredients — blooms, buds and spices, for example — for room sprays that quickly fill any chamber with lush, inviting scent.

CREED’s Cocktail de Pivoines room spray literally means “cocktail of peonies”. It has a loyal clientele worldwide. In fact, royal household purchasing departments are among its largest acquirers. Perfect for family or guest quarters, this scent is floral and fresh — but never overpowering.

CREED in the Hamptons

CREED is now offered at Saks Fifth Avenue in Southampton, New York

Sun, sand, stars and CREED. It’s a perfect combination.

As part of CREED’s 250th anniversary, this spring will be CREED’s first in the Hamptons, the famous, much-watched beach towns at the sandy east end of Long Island, New York where year-round and summer residents include top artists, actors, sports stars, broadcasters, politicians and assorted other notables.

CREED makes its home at Saks Fifth Avenue in Southampton, the quaint waterside village 80 miles from New York City. CREED is now available there 12 months a year.

Preparations for Fashion Week 2010

Preparations for Fashion Week 2010

CREED is a niche, family-owned company, of course, and the focus of master perfumer Olivier CREED and his son, Erwin, and their staff of 35 people is the hand creation of fine fragrances for clients.

Yet CREED does offer a limited range of exclusive and fashionable accessories, including travel-grooming kits made from Italian leather hand-stitched in France, perfect for holding shaving gear or cosmetics. CREED also offers leather-wrapped shatterproof bottles, or atomizers, sized at 1.7 ounces, perfect for the traveling fragrance enthusiast. CREED offers clothing only in its Paris boutique and does not show collections at Fashion Week.

In 2010, CREED responded to a request to make a very small gift of fragrance to models participating in a major designer’s presentation at New York Fashion Week. The fragrances offered were CREED Love In Black, Love In White and Acqua Fiorentina. (more…)
