Creed
France · Founded 1760
“The house behind Aventus.”
Creed claims a founding date of 1760 and a long history of bespoke commissions for European royalty. The historical record is thinner than the marketing suggests, but there's no debating the commercial impact: Aventus (launched 2010) became one of the most-cloned and most-discussed fragrances of the 2010s. Creed is now owned by Kering and positioned at the entry-luxury price point.
