Neiman Marcus Launches Aventus - A New Fragrance from Creed
To kick off its 250th anniversary, Creed has created a new fragrance which will launch exclusively at Neiman Marcus. Meaning "success," Aventus is inspired by Napoleon, the self-made emperor of France.
The top note is black currant from Corsica, the sunny land where Napoleon was born. Next is bergamot from Italy, where young Napoleon's first victories made him famous. Next are Calville Blanc apples from France, where Napoleon climbed to power as emperor. Royal pineapple, Napoleon's favorite palace dessert, completes the top note.
The middle note starts with Napoleon Roses. Next is Louisiana birch, which was used to craft his throne. Following that is jasmine from Egypt, a far point in Napoleon's empire. Exotic patchouli, valued for scent, but also as a totem of health, completes the middle note.
The base not is oak moss from Spain, a late Napoleonic conquest. Ambergris from the seas shows the reach of Napoleon's navy. Gourmand vanilla in the French style signals the touch of high living Napoleon enjoyed.
Aventus will be available exclusively at Neiman Marcus starting late July.
