Mention ‘family businesses’ and most people will think of a small restaurant or a local shop. However, the descendants of James Henry Creed have been handcrafting uncommon fragrances for royal houses and discerning patrons for over 250 years.

The world’s only privately-held luxury fragrance company, Creed has been passed down through an unbroken bloodline of perfumers, giving this dynastic brand a genetic edge when it comes to creating highly successful scents.

The House of Creed was originally founded as a bespoke tailors in Mayfair in 1760, the same year King George III ascended to the throne – and for whom Creed later created the fragrance Royal English Leather. In the centuries since, Creed has produced over 200 unique fragrances of exceptional quality, worn by history’s greatest names – including royalty and visionaries.

Despite relocating to Paris in 1854 (under the patronage of Napoleon III and his Empress, Eugénie, the stylish leader of European fashion), Creed’s legacy remains an impressive and wearable part of British history that is treasured by fragrance connoisseurs of all ages, and from generation to generation.

From Father To Son

The ancestral approach taken by Creed penetrates every aspect of the business. It’s even present in the strapline on every bottle: ‘De père en fils depuis 1760’, which translates as ‘From father to son since 1760’.

Today, sixth generation and master perfumer Olivier Creed and his son Erwin personally source the world’s purest and most precious oils to continue the art of Creed’s perfume making – a timeless, yet modern take on history, bottled. In addition to overseeing the refinement of historic fragrances and stunning new creations, Olivier Creed is credited with increasing sales from 1,000 bottles a year up to a million.

In recent years, The House of Creed has returned to its Mayfair heritage with The Creed Boutique, located at 99 Mount Street, London. The boutique celebrates all that makes Creed exceptional; from its rich heritage, to its integrity as an authentic luxury fragrance house with the addition of exclusive services. For example, monogramming allows any bottle to be transformed into a unique gift, be it with a special message or meaningful date – making Creed the perfect choice for Father’s Day.
