Creed, with 259 years of history, has always been known for its art of perfume making and somehow manages to compose scents that are both timeless and modern. The family-owned luxury fragrance house started creating for royalty and it was only in 1970 when its scents were made publicly available. Since then, it has produced icons like Green Iris Tweed, Viking and its bestselling Aventus that made its debut in 2010.

This year, the brand is offering Aventus Cologne, a new addition to the Aventus range. For starters, the new juice offers a completely different olfactory experience from the existing classic. Expect a fresh and woody EDP that fuses crisp and sparking notes of tangerine, ginger and pink pepper with warm and sensual notes of patchouli, sandalwood and vetiver. The dry down leaves hints of sweet musk, tonka bean and smoky notes that will leave you wanting more.

Each bottle is a work of art as its contents are weighed, mixed, macerated and filtered all by hand, using techniques passed down from father to son, to today’s sixth-generation master perfumer Olivier Creed and his son, Erwin Creed. Priced at SGD330 for 50 ml and SGD420 for 100ml, the new Aventus Cologne is now available at Escentials at Tangs, Paragon and Robinsons The Heeren.
