The House

London tailoring, French savoir-faire.

James Henry Creed opened the house in London in 1760, dressing the courts of Europe before turning his attention to scent. In 1854 the maison moved to Paris at the request of Empress Eugénie, and it has kept one foot in each capital ever since.

Perfume is still made the long way. Materials are weighed by hand, mixed in small batches, then macerated and matured at the atelier in Ury, France. Nothing is rushed, and nothing is filtered, so what reaches the flacon is the composition as it was written.

  • Millésime

    Each batch is matured and recorded like a vintage.

  • Unfiltered

    No clarifying agents. The full composition stays intact.

  • Hand-filled

    Every bottle is filled and inspected at the atelier.

Bought it for my wedding in June. Eleven hours, two countries and a very long afterparty later, it still read clearly on my collar.
Creed Aventus perfume bottle Aventus T. A., Melbourne · Verified order
My father wore it through the nineties, and the bottle on my shelf is his. The verbena still opens sharp and grassy, then dries down softer than I remembered.
Creed Green Irish Tweed perfume bottle Green Irish Tweed J. O., Dublin · Verified order
I live somewhere hot and humid, which kills most fresh scents by lunch. This one stays cool and mineral until evening. It has replaced three bottles on my shelf.
Creed Silver Mountain Water perfume bottle Silver Mountain Water M. R., Singapore · Verified order
The peach and jasmine do not turn syrupy on me the way others do. My husband keeps stealing it, which says more than any review I could write.
Creed Aventus For Her perfume bottle Aventus For Her L. V., Lisbon · Verified order
I bought it for a milestone birthday, and it delivers exactly that kind of occasion: dark, quiet, close to the skin. One spray lasts an evening.
Creed Oud Zarian perfume bottle Oud Zarian A. H., Montréal · Verified order
Smells like the holiday I keep promising myself: sea air, blackcurrant, salted citrus. It has become my summer uniform.

Questions

Creed perfume, answered.

The questions customers ask most, answered without the sales voice.

Which Creed perfume is the most popular?

Creed Aventus. It has been the bestseller since its release in 2010 and is still the fragrance most people name when they say Creed perfume. Aventus For Her, Green Irish Tweed and Silver Mountain Water follow close behind.

Which Creed fragrance is best for men?

Aventus first, for the bergamot and birch signature. Green Irish Tweed suits men who want something greener and quieter, and Royal Oud works for evenings and formal wear. Viking and Absolu Aventus are the favorites among men who already know the house.

Which Creed perfume is best for women?

Aventus For Her leads. Carmina, Queen of Silk and Eladaria were composed for women in recent years, while Love In White and Wind Flowers hold their place for florals. Nothing here is strictly gendered, so wear what you like.

What does Creed Aventus smell like?

Bright Calabrian bergamot at the top, a pineapple accord at the center, smoky birch and musk at the base. It reads as fresh fruit and cut wood at once, which is why it works in an office and after dark.

What does Creed Green Irish Tweed smell like?

Green, in one word. Lemon verbena and iris over sandalwood and ambergris, with a faint mossy edge. It is a fougère, so expect a clean, grassy opening that settles into warm wood.

What does Creed Silver Mountain Water smell like?

Bergamot and green tea over blackcurrant and musk. The effect is cool and mineral, closer to wet stone and cold air than to anything sweet.

How long does Creed Aventus last?

Six to eight hours on most skin, with the base lingering on fabric much longer. The 100ml and larger formats are eau de parfum strength, so a little goes further than the 30ml.

How long does Creed perfume last?

Four to ten hours, depending on the fragrance, your skin and the climate. Fresh work like Silver Mountain Water sits at the shorter end; oud and amber compositions like Royal Oud and White Amber sit at the longer end.

Why is Creed perfume so expensive?

Raw materials and process. The house works with high concentrations of natural ingredients, then hand-mixes, macerates and matures each batch at Ury. The larger formats (240ml and up) bring the cost per ml down considerably.

Where can I buy authentic Creed perfume?

From the official online boutique or an authorized retailer. Every Shop button on this site leads to the house store. To test in person first, look for an authorized Creed stockist near you. Treat third-party marketplaces with caution unless the seller is explicitly authorized.

How can I tell if a Creed perfume is authentic?

Check that the batch code on the bottle matches the box, weigh the glass in your hand, and compare the cap and sprayer to a bottle you trust. Authentic flacons feel heavy for their size, with crisp lettering and no glue around the label. A price far below retail is a warning sign.

Which Creed fragrance should I choose?

Start with what you already wear. Citrus and cedar: Aventus. Green and understated: Green Irish Tweed. Warm and resinous: Oud Zarian or White Amber. Order samples first when you can. Skin decides faster than reviews.
