CREED's Service to Royals

As CREED celebrates 250 years, its archives reveal a trove of VIP letters, orders and Royal Warrants of Appointment: papers issue by kings or queens when they appoint CREED their fragrance supplier. Now posted at the blog at blog.creedboutique.com is the royal warrant given to CREED by Queen Maria Cristina of Spain in 1885.

For this grand niece of Marie Antoinette, CREED made two fragrances still available to clients today: Vanisia, a blend of vanilla, rose, sandalwood and jasmine, is a true accoutrement of monarchy. Meanwhile, CREED's Royal Delight is an endearing blend of tangerine, bergamot, jasmine, violet and leather.
