Perfumes

Fragrances have the power to incite raw human emotion and can captivate, even intoxicate. Designer perfumes have olfactory notes that evoke a sense of nature's landscapes, like a wildflower-strewn prairie or baskets of spices on display at an exotic public market. With a spritz or splash, one is transported through time, place, and even memory.

Among the world’s most notable fragrances is Chanel No. 5, originally created by Gabrielle “Coco” Chanel in 1921. The stock and custom creations of the House of Creed are also prized for their notoriety and beautiful fragrance. Notably, the House of Creed’s signature Fleurissimo scent was commissioned by Prince Rainier of Monaco for his bride, actress Grace Kelly, to wear on their wedding day.

Complex blends of ingredients such as musk, citrus peel, and ginger are crafted by the leading noses of the world’s most storied ateliers and have an undying appeal, always blooming at auction.
