A legacy passed down from generation to generation, the house of Creed® has been and continues to be the master of perfumery in the fragrance industry for over 250 years. Seven generations down the line, Creed's® history is more than just about the brand, but is a monumental and captivating work that should be considered a public record.
Creed® is a brand that has been worn by Queen Victoria, Frank Sinatra, Michael Jackson, Elvis Presley, Jackie Kennedy, David Beckham, and, most recently, Michelle Obama and Laura Bush, to name a few. But did you know that this masterpiece of a brand began as a tailoring business in London rather than in the art of perfumery?
James Henry Creed founded the House of Creed® in 1760 as a tailoring business. Although this fact may impress some people, Creed® had a long history before it became a fragrance house. Its first royal commission came from King George III, where a rich blend of mandarin, ambergris, and sandalwood is mixed to create a scent known as Royal English Leather. The King gave this commission after falling in Love with a pair of Creed®-scented gloves.
The company relocated to Paris in 1854 at the request of Empress Eugenie of France. Creed® created a fragrance called Jasmin Imperatrice for the Empress, which is still available today. Then, in 1885, Creed® became the official supplier of fragrances to the British royal court. Creed® created Fleurs de Bulgarie for Queen Victoria. The following year, Spain's Queen Maria Cristina appointed Creed® as her supplier by royal decree.
Though Creed® has a long history, one of the main reasons it became popular is because of the ingredients they use in its perfume. Creed's® fragrances contain only natural ingredients sourced from different parts of the world. These ingredients are pretty pricey, but according to Oliver Creed, the sixth generation perfumier of this famous perfume house, it is the only way to pass on the legacy of their brand to the people without sacrificing quality and instead creating an unforgettable experience for the wearer.
Creed® perfumes are undeniably expensive, given their powerful legacy and expertise in the world of perfumery. However, the same olfactory experience can be obtained with Unleashed's alternative options. In this article, we will go over the top ten most affordable alternatives to Creed®, which will undoubtedly provide you with a masterpiece of a perfume experience.
