Creed is a multi-national niche perfume house. Based in Paris, it was originally established and founded in England as a tailoring house in 1760 by James Henry Creed. However, the earliest evidence of Creed's existence hark from the late 1960s or early 1970s. It claims to have risen to fame in the mid 19th century under Henry Creed as tailors and habit makers for the fashionable dandy Count d'Orsay, Queen Victoria and Empress Eugénie, who issued the firm of Creed & Cumberland a Royal Warrant for tailoring articles.The house purportedly creates its perfumes in-house by two perfumers: a father and his son. The current generation consists of Olivier Creed (who is credited for Green Irish Tweed, Millesime Imperial, Silver Mountain Water and Aventus among others) and his son Erwin Creed.
