This is how the famed brand of artistic perfumery Creed describes its olfactory masterpieces: there is no “better” Creed perfume but rather, the best fragrance for one’s own taste and personality.
Given the wide selection of Creed perfumes, finding the fragrance that fits us just right can be quite difficult: starting from the ABC’s, discover our tips for recognizing it as quickly as possible.
Space to emotions
Each Creed fragrance is the personal masterpiece of master perfumer Olivier Creed, sixth generation descendant of a great line of perfumers that still today personally creates all his perfumes.
Each creation is much more than a simple chemical formula: the magic of a perfume is in recreating the allure of far away and extraordinary worlds, combining inspirations and memories, recreating experiences and emotions tied to it.
The emotional component is therefore very important, in the first step of choosing your Creed perfume do not neglect this aspect and let yourself be taken away by the story of each fragrance.
Clear Ideas
Notes and olfactory families as well as the olfactory pyramid and formulation typologies: Understanding, even if only superficially, how a perfume is structured can help you narrow down the field and make a first selection. For example, it could be useful to know that the base notes represent the true personality of a perfume. These notes reveal themselves at a later time, they persist longer, and they are responsible for the sought after scent trail.
It is also essential to understand the difference between Eau de Toilette, Eau de Parfume and Millesime.
Depending on the higher or lower percentage of essential oils present in the formulation, one can already be oriented towards a more intense and perceptible fragrance or a fresher and lighter one. Creed’s Millesime is, for example, a perfume with a very high concentration and persistence.
Testing
Choosing a perfume “on paper” is possible but risky. Our advice is to try the fragrance on your skin to better perceive its characteristics. In fact, the pH of your skin can change the perception of a fragrance on your skin and make certain notes more noticeable than others.
In our Boutique in Via Porta Rossa, 33 you will find a wide selection of Creed perfumes: try the fragrances that intrigue you the most and buy the one that suits you best.
