Since 1760, Creed has been synonymous with the highest quality, hand-blended fragrances.
To this day, Creed fuses historical family techniques with innovation resulting in an impressive library of scents from the iconic Aventus to its seasonal winter warmer Green Irish Tweed.
The Creed Boutique in Mayfair offers the ultimate sensorial experience for fragrance aficionados – but, first, it's time to discover the five scents every would-be Creed fan should know about.
Check out the list below:
Aventus
A sensual, audacious and contemporary scent, Aventus is inspired by the dramatic life of a historic emperor who waged war, peace and romance with equal magnitude.
Perfect for the bold, spirited and confident, Aventus opens with tantalising top notes of blackcurrant and Italian bergamot, blended with Calville Blanc apples and sparkling pineapple.
A woody and heady centre is complemented with notes of roses, Jasmine blossom and patchouli, while a rich base of oak moss, ambergris and a touch of vanilla provides a final flourish to this sophisticated scent.
Launched with immediate acclaim in 2010 to celebrate Creed’s 250th anniversary, Aventus celebrates strength, power, vision and success - the ideal scent for individuals who saviour a life well-lived.
Viking
Viking, a fiery men’s fragrance that bottles the fearless spirit of boundless exploration for the modern man who goes against the grain. Inspired by the incredibly crafted longships, a centerpiece of the Viking Age and one of the greatest design feats of the ninth century.
A symbol of voyage and undeniable perseverance, longships were carefully designed for the skilled seaman who embodied unbridled determination to conquer. Viking marks the brand’s first major men’s scent since the introduction of the cult best-selling Aventus in 2010.
Green Irish Tweed
A classic, as the old adage tells us, never goes out of style. Like a perfectly tailored suit, Green Irish Tweed has been and continues to be worn by confident men at the peak of their field.
Evoking the lush greenery of the Emerald Isle: cut grass, spring meadows, summer wild flowers and herbs warmed by a gentle sea breeze.
Tweed suggests Creed’s equestrian tailoring roots, country squires and their estates, shooting parties and hip flasks.
Silver Mountain Water
Inspired by the exhilarating crispness of mountain air and the purity of cascading alpine streams, a bracing landscape in which the Creed family find relaxation and renewal.
A contempory scent which captures the purity of citrus notes, tea, blackcurrant and musk.
Cool, clean, icy and mentholated - reminiscent of sparkling streams coursing through the snowcapped Swiss Alps.
Millésime Imperial
Launched in 1995 to celebrate 150 years since the establishment of Creed in Paris, at the request of Napoleon 3rd and the Empress Eugenie, Millésime Imperial commemorates the rich history of Creed as supplier to the Imperial courts of Europe.
Fresh and stylish, Millésime Imperial is a blend of marine accord and iris with sparkling hesperidic (citrus) top notes. The base is warm and richly layered with amber, musk and sandalwood.
