Creed Launches Aventus; Its First Men's Fragrance in 5 Years

-
The House of Creed will have passed from father to son for 250 years this A/W and to celebrate, the current father and son ‘noses’, Olivier and Erwin Creed, have created an outstanding fragrance for gentlemen. Reminiscent of venture and adventuring, and inspired by heroic and powerful figures namely, Napoleon Bonaparte and Alexander The Great; Aventus is a heroic fragrance that is for the bold, spirited and confident. The intrepid explorer, the conquering warrior within all of us.

As the bottle motif suggests Aventus’s roots are very much in classicism however the fragrance itself is contemporary, forceful and roaring with energy.

A leather finish implies power and commands respect. It is no mistake either, that the Latin word for wind, ventis, is also implied; this is a mistral of a perfume sweeping across Europe picking up the finest notes in its wake.

Top note blackcurrant blends, with bergamot from Italy, whilst Calville Blanc apples mingle expertly with fruity pineapple.

The middle notes burst with roses, blooming amid dense birch. Jasmine blossom and patchouli combine to add to this woody but heady centre.

At the base is oak moss and ambergris and a light touch of vanilla, the final flourish of a sophisticated and intelligent, powerhouse-pairing of perfumers.

Aventus; prepare to be conquered. £128.00/ 75ml £155 / 120ml

As an official Creed stockist we honour Olivier Creed’s request that his fragrances are not sold over the internet, and we abide by M. Creed’s pricing policy.

The Holy Trinity: Perfumes Made by Monks

The rarefied aura that surrounds fragrance dates back to the remotest times of antiquity, when incense and fragrant oils would be offered up to the gods and deities of the ancient world. The Arab world is credited with introducing modern perfumery to the West, having preserved the ancient arts of distillation, evaporation, and filtration that had been lost to Christian society, and in turn heralding great advancements not only in the field of fragrance but of chemistry and science too. In passing this tradition on, Christian monks began to adopt the practice of creating fragrances as an expression of faith, before eventually the art form became available to the wider public, for a price. Today, most perfume is manufactured on a grand commercial scale; a far cry from the artisanal monastic traditions that gave birth to modern fragrance! However, some perfume houses still survive from this bygone age and serve to remind us of our industry’s history while continui...

Absolutely Magazine: September: Maverick Perfumery by Lawrence Roullier White

The following feature by Lawrence Roullier White appears in the September issue of Absolutely Magazine. Brent Leonesio of Smell Bent will be in store on Thursday 25th September - come and say 'hello'.  Traditionally perfumery has always been a difficult skill to learn, expertise and knowledge was handed down through the family so it was very much a closed shop. Budding perfumers could seek entry level work at one of the great fragrances houses and hope to learn the ropes on the job or train as apprentices with a master artisan perfumer but opportunities were few. Things opened up a little when the Givaudan Perfumery School in France opened in 1946. The school claims to be responsible for training the noses behind one third of fragrances on sale today, including Chanel’s Jean Polge and Hermes’ Jean-Claude Ellena, mastermind behind my beloved Cologne Bigarade for Editions Frederic Malle. Another school, The Institut Supérieur International du Parfum, was founded in 1970 ...
