Creed Cologne

This week, I want to talk about some of the best-known name brands on the market today. So each day this week, I’ll focus on a different fragrance house. We’ll start today with the House of Creed: aka Creed Cologne. Stayed tuned for later in the week, when we future other fragrances that cater to men: Armani Cologne, Mambo Cologne, Pheromone Cologne and Curve Cologne. But let’s start off with all the many colognes and eaux de toilette brands by Creed.

Creed Cologne

Creed Cologne is one of the oldest perfume houses in the world. It is a United Kingdom based company (London) which was founded in 1760. Creed Cologne is formally known as the “House of Creed”. The fragrance company was started by James Henry Creed and is still privately held by the Creed family today. Olivier Creed, a sixth generation member of the House of Creed, is the current chairman of Creed Cologne.

Millesime Cologne by Creed

The Millésime line of fragrances by the House of Creed are considered the top flight brands of Creed Cologne. The various options are Bois du Portugal, Erolfa, Green Irish Tweed, Green Valley, Himalaya, Millésime Imperial, Neroli Sauvage, Original Santal, Original Vetiver, Royal Delight, Royal Water, Silver Mountain Water, Tabarôme Cologne and Virgin Island Water Cologne.

On the list of colognes below, I’ve included the key ingredients (essential oils) and occasionally notes on the aroma produced by the cologne.

Eaux de Toilet Cologne by Creed

The House of Creed also offers Eaux de Toilette fragrances, including Acier Alumininum Cologne, Ambre Cannelle, Baie de Genievre, Bois de Cedrat, Chevrefeuille Original Cologne, Citrus Bigarrade, Epicea Cologne, Orange Spice Cologne, Royal English Leather, Royal Scottich Lavender Cologne, Santal Imperial Cologne, Vetiver Cologne and Zeste Mandarine Pamplemousse Cologne from Creed.

For those who aren’t sure what “eaux de toilette” means, eau de toilette is a fragrance that is lighter than cologne. Therefore, if you want to wear a scent that’s not as strong as the usual cologne you’re wearing, you might consider buying one of the following eaux de toilette brands from Creed Cologne.

Just like above with the colognes list by Creed, I’ve included the essences (essential oils) used for each eaux de toilette blend.
