Luis, Madison Avenue Boutique, New York City
Q: How are you getting in the holiday spirit this year both at home and in the boutique?
We put up our Christmas tree and decorated the house before Thanksgiving this year; it’s the earliest we have ever done it. At the store level, we received our new 2020 holiday wrapping, which always makes me excited to help our clients pick out the perfect gifts for their loved ones. Definitely making the list and checking it twice
Q: Which scent would you gift the person who loves spicy, warm fragrances?
Without a doubt, I’d select Original Santal and the matching ancillaries. It’s such a robust and warm scent with notes of orange, ginger, rosemary, sandalwood, and musk. It’s perfect for the person who loves cozying up by a crackling fire with a cashmere sweater while watching the snowflakes fall.
Kenneth, Design District, Miami Boutique
Q: What would you gift the person who loves classic, floral notes and feeling unique?
I would recommend the serene and sophisticated Love in White. It is an intimate, fresh scent with Florentine iris and orange zest, perfect for channeling the scent of spring all year round.
Q: What is your favorite holiday scent memory, and what Creed fragrance reminds you of this?
Growing up it was mandatory that we had a fresh Christmas tree at home. The Scottish pine notes in Royal Mayfair always make me think of that, especially in combination with the orange and eucalyptus notes. It’s such a unique, dashing scent, and one of my personal favorites from The House of Creed.
Andrea, The Forum Shops, Las Vegas Boutique
Q: How are you getting in the Holiday spirit this year both at home and in the boutique?
This year is all about attention to detail and making the most of our time with family and friends, even if it’s over a screen. I’ve been taking extra care with my decorating and gift wrapping, creating a memorable holiday for myself at home. I’ve also made a point of showing my loved ones I’m thinking of them with special touches on the gifts I send them in the mail.
Q: Which scent would you gift the person who loves feeling glamorous no matter the occasion?
There are two fragrances that come to mind: the ever captivating Royal Princess Oud which is just like the modern day little red dress, and the distinctive Royal Oud, a fashionable favorite prized by both men and women. Oud is such a rare, distinctive note, it’s hard not to feel like the most glamorous person in the room when you wear either of these fragrances.
Cody, Beverly Hills, Los Angeles Boutique
Q: How are you getting in the Holiday spirit this year both at home and in the boutique?
This year I am getting in the spirit by settling into my new home and decorating my new space for the holidays. For the boutique, once our holiday display is up, joyful music is in the air, clients are bustling in, and wrapping paper starts flying, then I know the holiday season has settled on into my home-away-from-home.
Q: Which scent would you gift the person who loves notes of citrus and sunshine?
For those who love to chase the sun, I would recommend the refreshing Millésime Impérial, inspired by lush seaside citrus groves leading up to a sun-bathed castle on the coast of Italy. It’s perfect for anyone who loves to travel to warm locals or for those that love to show off their bright side through their own sense of fashion and style!
Q: What’s on your holiday wishlist from The House of Creed?
Our new Birmanie Oud Home Spray and matching candle from The House of Creed’s exclusive Home Collection since I’m spending time at home much more these days. It’s a very warm, cozy scent.
Abigail, Creed Boutique Dotcom
Q: What’s on your holiday wishlist from The House of Creed?
The only thing on my list this year is a new bottle of Sublime Vanille from Les Royales Exclusives Collection. I happen to love sweets and this fragrance is such a subtle yet provocative take on gourmand. The sparkling notes of lemon are truly delightful and the warmth from the vanilla and tonka bean make it enticing. Aside from the harmony of these notes, the bottle is a true work of art. I love gazing at the bottle on my vanity as it stands out as a special piece in my collection.
Q: What is your favorite holiday scent memory, and what Creed fragrance reminds you of this?
My favorite scent memory is when my grandmother would host our family and friends at the holidays. My grandmother was a woman that had a passion for life and Christmas was always the holiday. Her signature scent was a rich musky floral that would linger in every part of our tiny East Village apartment, and she would finish off her look with a bold red lip. Creed’s Aventus For Her reminds me of her; a one-of-a kind woman, who was captivating and passionate, so I would suggest that in our new En Voyage set so she could take it with her wherever she goes.
