CREED in August

Wednesday, August 17th, 2011

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.

CREED and Mardi Gras

Monday, February 28th, 2011

Rue Bourbon in New Orleans

Rue Bourbon in New Orleans

With roots deep in France, New Orleans is a place where French architecture, food — and fragrance — are appreciated fully. Ruled by Napoleon until he sold the region to America, New Orleans shares a rich Napoleonic past with Paris-based CREED, which made fine fragrance for members of the emperor’s family, including Napoleon III.

Today, CREED continues its association with the Crescent City of New Orleans. The firm was pleased to present the king of the 2011 New Orleans Mardi Gras parade with a bottle of CREED Aventus fragrance, the newest and best selling creation from Olivier CREED in Paris. The special hand blend that includes French Calville Blanc apples conjures the spirit of a life well lived, a most fitting sentiment for this holiday.

Olivier CREED Readies 2011 Creations

Olivier CREED In His Workshop

In his French workshop, Olivier CREED holds essence of rose

Sixth-generation master perfumer Olivier CREED is at work in his workshop in the French countryside, hand-blending new fragrances for release in 2011 from ingredients gathered worldwide by his son, Erwin CREED, 30, seventh generation of the house and future chief. CREED clients in the U.S. may expect more fragrances for CREED’s Royal Exclusives collection, a unique assortment intended to be a statement to the aesthetic world about the enduring value of fragrance hand blending, bottling and collecting. Each Royal Exclusive is a magnificent scent and collectible art object in one.

In addition to these crown jewels, Olivier CREED will release in the U.S. another fragrance based on some of his son’s more exotic travels and the rare and precious ingredients he hand selected along the way. And Mr. CREED reserves the right, as always, pleasantly to surprise his clients with still more fragrances in this very creative period.

CREED & Charity

Tuesday, May 25th, 2010

During its 250 years, CREED has been a loyal supporter of the communities in which it does business. As CREED is a very small, independent, family-run company that produces all of its products by hand in France, CREED’s support many times takes the form of a special item presented for a charity auction. For example, CREED flacons, perhaps signed by a member of the CREED family, offered with CREED shatterproof atomizers, are examples of such donations. Occasionally, CREED’s charity support takes the form of a financial gift.
