FAQs

These terms reference the concentration of essential oils in a scent. Parfums or perfumes are the strongest strength with approximately 20-30% of essential oils. Eau de Parfum (EDP) represents midrange strength consisting of 10-15%, and Eau de Toilette (EDT) is the lightest strength containing the least amount of essential oils with a range of 3-8%. The House of Creed’s EDP compound is 18-25%, and our EDT compound is 7-9%.

The most significant influence on scent longevity is ensuring that skin is properly moisturized prior to applying the scent. Layering products such as body lotions or oils with the same scent will also increase the longevity and intensity of a scent.

We recommend applying your Creed fragrance on each of your wrists and each side of your neck. We also recommend spraying the back of your neck so that you leave a scent trail behind you. It is recommended to apply the fragrance directly to the skin to allow the fragrance to blend with one’s chemistry as well as emit scent when warmed by the body. Do not rub the fragrance on skin or rub your wrists together, as this will alter how the fragrance develops.

Some notes in our handcrafted fragrances can be photosensitive. It is possible they can change color over a long period of time, if they are exposed to direct light.

The shelf life of our artisanal fragrances begins with the first spray once the scent has been introduced to air, allowing for a 3-5 year shelf-life as long as they are stored properly.

To maintain the quality of your Creed scents after purchase, we advise that they are stored away from daylight, heat and extreme temperature change, which are the greatest causes of perfume deterioration.

The perfect environment for a Creed fragrance is a dark, cool space like a drawer, or on a shelf in a closet in a room with stable temperature. Do not store your fragrance in a bathroom or car.

The House of Creed is the only fragrance house in the world that still relies on the ancient infusion technique to capture the raw and rare materials of each perfume. Creed uses an average of 65% natural raw materials across their fragrance formulations. Due to the nature of fragrance, there is no opportunity for any fragrance to be 100% natural. Please note all Creed fragrances and ancillary products are Paraben and Phthalate free.

An ancillary product is typically a bodycare item that is scented to match its namesake fragrance and is used to layer and intensify the scent but is also excellent to wear on its own. Ancillaries are available in the form of lotions, shower gels, after-shave balms, deodorants, shaving soaps & bowls, body soaps and perfumed oils at The House of Creed.
