Rich with history, breathtaking landscapes, and a top-tier food and art scene, the Hudson Valley is an idyllic location for city dwellers looking for an escape they can take at a moment's notice. To celebrate the tenth anniversary of Aventus, we recently paid a visit to The Maker Hotel in the heart of historic Hudson, NY.

Step into the world of The House of Creed to celebrate the tenth anniversary of the legendary Aventus.

Whether you’re a longtime Creed devotee, or a newcomer who is eager to learn more about our iconic fragrance house, one is sure to be inspired by our refreshed Fragrance 101 series, where we'll highlight the best of Creed, one fragrance at a time. First up: the fiery and daring Viking.

A classic, as the old adage tells us, never goes out of style. Like a perfectly tailored suit, Green Irish Tweed has been (and continues to be), worn by confident and distinguished men at the peak of their field. The fragrance elegantly combines woody-freshness and pure masculinity, equally suited to wander through the Scottish countryside or an evening out in downtown Edinburgh. 

This Valentine’s Day, The House of Creed is celebrating Legends in Love through an exclusive partnership with Compartés Gourmet Chocolates. Inspired by our Aventus Trilogy, Compartés created unique chocolate bars for each of the three fragrances for a truly made-in-the-stars pairing.  We sat down with Compartés lead artisan chocolatier and CEO, Jonathan Grahm, to learn how he created these unique flavors for The House of Creed

The French-Canadian metropolis of Montreal is a soulful one, ripe with personality, creativity, and that certain je ne sais quoi—all qualities reminiscent of Creed’s unique Silver Mountain Water fragrance. Here’s an insider guide to wintering in a city that doesn’t hibernate, but au contraire, knows how to keep warm during the coldest months of the year.

Last month, we journeyed to Troutbeck where chef James Gop of Heirloom Fire crafted a dinner inspired by the unique notes of the five Creed Classics. A true feast for the senses in every way, we thought it fitting to follow-up with James before the start of the holiday season to learn more about the role scent plays in creating a memorable meal. 

For many, the inclusion of vanilla in a perfume is reason to avoid it—a risk that a fragrance will be overly sweet or verge on adolescent. But when vanilla is done right it doesn’t smell like faux cookies. Instead, it’s warm, delicate, comforting, addicting, and, yes, sophisticated all at once.

Alaska: America’s final frontier. It is wild, sublime, and radiates a potent sense of adventure much like The House of Creed’s Silver Mountain Water fragrance. In this Creed Destinations, we explore and cruise through its awe-inspiring landscape and majestic geography. 

The House of Creed headed to Troutbeck Estate located in beautiful Amenia, NY to re-introduce friends of the brand to the Creed Classics, five of our most-beloved fragrances, and to enjoy all the beauty that fall brings to the region this time of year.  Read on to discover more about our Classics, and learn more about what we were up to during our stay.
