Its blend of fruity and woody notes creates a scent that is both bold and sophisticated, making it a signature fragrance for men who dare to dream big and achieve greatness.

The enigmatic pull of Creed's legacy has transformed it into a household name, along with its longstanding presence in the fashion industry. However, in 2021, Gabe Oppenheim's book "The Ghost Perfumer: Creed, Lies, & the Scent of the Century" revealed the truth behind the scenes, uncovering Pierre Bourdon and Jean-Claude Hérault as the creative minds behind many of the brand's iconic fragrances.
