For Love This Valentine’s Day

Wednesday, February 1st, 2012

Rich red Original Santal for Valentine's Day.

Valentine’s Day is just ahead, and CREED is prepared to offer the perfect gift that states in fragrance your feelings for that certain someone.

CREED Original Santal is the Valentine blend of excellent sandalwood from Mysore, India (“City of Palaces”) plus cinnamon for warmth, dreamlike vanilla and more.  This jewel for men and women is available in sizes from one ounce to four, suiting your needs.

Fragrances that express love — Love In White, worn by two First Ladies fiercely loyal to their husbands, and Love In Black, evoking the brunette mystery of America’s Camelot queen – are the gifts that speak where words can fail.

If proposal of marriage is contemplated, CREED Fleurissimo is the selection.  This fragrance has a unique place in the history of romance, worn by an American girl when she became a real-life princess on her wedding day.

Candles for a New Year & Any Celebration

Monday, January 23rd, 2012

Celebrate Chinese new year with CREED's Pekin Imperial candle from Paris.

Celebrating a new year, romance, marriage — or the simple joy of being at home – is finer with CREED’s luxury candle assortment that charms the air with a French accent of scent.

This week marks the Chinese new year, and CREED’s ruby-red Pekin Imperial candle is ideal for the celebration.  This hand-poured beeswax candle from Paris evokes the aroma of China’s largest palace with hand-picked spices, sandalwood, rose and verbena: pure exotic charm for any room of the home.

Three CREED candles match beloved CREED fragrances.  Green Irish Tweed, Spring Flower and Silver Mountain Water can all be enjoyed as scented candles blended in CREED’s French workshop.

CREED also offers the light and charming Cocktail de Pivoines (“Cocktail of Peonies”) scented candle, a personal favorite of the author of this blog.  CREED’s Riviera Flowers candle fills any room with fragrant blooms of warm southern France.  For a melange of finest rose and freesia, CREED’s Les Floralies candle is reverie in scent.  And CREED’s Mimosa Soleil (“Mimosa Sun”) candle has the light, uplifting aroma of mimosa flowers in sunlight, as engaging as its creator, Erwin CREED, 31, seventh generation of the house.

How Long Do CREED Fragrances Last?

Tuesday, January 17th, 2012

Store CREED fragrances like wine.

CREED receives thousands of questions by email, phone, in person and via social media every year, and we thought we’d share answers here to some of the most commonly asked questions.

Many ask, “How long do CREED fragrances last?”

Sixth-generation master perfumer Olivier CREED is on the record as saying that authentic CREED fragrances stored properly — like wine, out of direct sunlight, in a place of moderate, consistent temperature — can last up to six years or more.  That means showering rooms are not a good place to store CREED because of the frequent increases in temperature there.

So purchase authentic CREED with the knowledge that your investment is one to enjoy for years to come.

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.
