A legacy of unrivaled scents
The House of Creed was founded by James Henry Creed in 1760. The legend of the brand begins when a pair of scented leather gloves was delivered to King George III by a new London tailoring company.
Creed supplied most of the royalty of the time. In the newly rebuilt Second Empire Paris, Creed acquired a reputation for impeccable tailoring and for the exclusivity of its rare and limited bespoke fragrances.
Creed has continued to create a legacy of unrivalled scents, both commissioned and worn by history's greatest names: Queen Victoria (Fleurs de Bulgarie); Empress Eugenie of France (Jasmin Imperatrice Eugenie); Emperor Franz-Josef of Austria-Hungary and his wife, the Empress "Sissi" Elisabeth (Fantasia de Fleurs); Spain's Queen Maria Cristina (Vanisia) and a host of global politicians including Sir Winston Churchill (Tabarome Millesime); President John F. Kennedy (Vetiver); as well as constellation of movie stars and several First Ladies.
The art of Creed's perfume making
Today, sixth generation and master perfumer Olivier Creed and his son, Erwin Creed, carry on the craft from their Parisian laboratory. Father and son each personally seek out the purest elements from around the world to continue the art of Creed's perfum making. Creed manufactures its own essences using high quality natural raw ingredients that are still weighed out, mixed and macerated by hand. The process is labor intensive but Creed is driven by artistry and perfection.
