Olivier Creed is the sixth-generation master perfumer of the House of Creed, the legendary Parisian fragrance house founded in 1760.
“Every generation feels fortunate to have this particular skill, the skill of comprehending and practicing the art and science of making fragrance. It is an innate ability.”
Olivier Creed · CaFleureBon, June 2010
Trained by his father, he has spent his career honoring the house's tradition of handcrafted luxury while introducing compositions that speak to modern sensibilities. Under his creative direction, Creed produced Aventus — the fragrance that launched a thousand internet communities and became the defining masculine scent of the 2010s — as well as Green Irish Tweed, Silver Mountain Water, and Millésime Impérial.

Radiant luminosity and ethereal transparency. Kurkdjian's fragrances glow — they possess an inner light that makes them feel both airy and profound. His palette favors ambroxan, saffron, and delicate florals, composed with a musician's instinct for harmony.
