Floral Fragrances From The House of Creed
Whether experienced through a garden in full bloom, an exquisite gifted bouquet or a chance encounter out in the wild, flowers are one of the purest sensorial delights that the world has to offer.
We marvel at the beauty of a delicate petal, admire the brilliance of a colourful bloom, and above all else, delight in the scent of a flourishing flower. A true treasure of the natural world, flowers have played an important role throughout human history in medicine, art, fashion and, of course, perfumery.
An Olfactive Symphony
From Bulgarian roses to Florentine irises and Parma violets to Moroccan jasmine, floral fragrances from across the globe sing together in perfect harmony, celebrating the world at its most beautiful. Each flower blooms with individuality, such as the sensual eroticism of jasmine, the honeyed warmth of tuberose, the seductive hypnotism of violet or the heady deliciousness of rose. Despite their individual qualities, floral scents come alive when combined. Just as an exquisite bouquet or a floral garden border brings together an array of flowers to maximise their impact, so do floral fragrances. Perhaps this is how flowers were always meant to be experienced – after all, a wildflower meadow in its natural state, bursting with bucolic floral abundance, has created variety all on its own.
Characteristics of Floral Fragrances
Taking many forms, from playful and sparkling to opulent and seductive, floral notes are best known for adding a feminine touch to perfume. Just as femininity comes in many shades, each bloom can have a different impact depending on the notes it accompanies. Jasmine, for example, can be an extraordinarily sensual scent, but when combined with juicy fruits and crisp citrus notes, it becomes energetic, youthful and spring-like.
Floral fragrances can be further categorised to help the wearer to better understand the olfactive nuances of their perfume of choice. A Soft Floral has an optimistic, harmonious and playful accord, and a fruitiness combined with sweet flowers, often resting on a pillowy bed of musky notes. A Floral Oriental on the other hand is passionate and enticing, with warm, sensual ingredients that elevate the romantic floral heart. Different still is a Floral Fruity: a modern, charming blend that emboldens the wearer, amplifying confidence through a spirited, dynamic blend of freshly harvested citrus, exotic and orchard fruits, without tempering the femininity of the floral notes.
Not every floral note plays a starring role, however. Some of the most intoxicatingly masculine fragrances boast a floral note at their heart tying together spicy, green, crisp and woody notes like a ribbon around a gift. At times subtle – but never a wallflower – these delicate florals provide an olfactive foundation from which other ingredients can soar.
