Application Tips

Given its moderate longevity and sillage, Epicea is best applied directly to pulse points for maximum impact. The fresh top notes will fade within an hour or two but the woody and spicy base notes will continue to evolve throughout the day.

James Henry Creed portrait

James Henry Creed founded the House of Creed in 1760 on Conduit Street in London as a tailoring house serving British royalty and aristocracy. His son Henry expanded the business to Paris, becoming the first English tailor to open there, and was granted a Royal Warrant in 1885; the house later transitioned from tailoring into perfumery across seven generations.

The story behind the bottle.

The quiet intensity of an afternoon spent in a wood-paneled study, where the scent of pine needles mingles with notes of clove and lavender.
