Creed fragrances now in-store

In an era of mass-marketed fragrances, Creed is a refreshing alternative. This family-run business produces fragrances of exquisite quality. Every scent they produce is hand-made using traditional techniques that have been passed from father to son in the Creed family since 1760.
As a favourite of the aristocracy, Creed has been worn by the courts of Queen Victoria, Napoléon III and Empress Eugenie of France, Emperor Franz-Joseph and Empress Sissi of Austro-Hungary, Queen Christina of Spain.
Today, James Henry Creed and his son Erwin continue in the footsteps of their forefathers and seek out the purest essences from around the world. The superior quality of their fragrances is created using traditional infusion techniques and the highest quality natural essences. These are then weighed, mixed, macerated and filtered, all by hand, before finally being carefully blended to produce evocative fragrances that enlighten the senses.
Robert Old are delighted to be able to offer a selection of unisex and masculine Creed fragrances at our Bournemouth store, ranging from woody, spicy scents to fresh fragrances with notes of mandarin orange, cinnamon and clove. Here is a full list of the Creed range that we stock:
