What does Queen Elizabeth II, George Clooney, Princess Grace of Monaco, Angelina Jolie, Hugh Grant, Audrey Hepburn, John F. Kennedy and Frank Sinatra have in common? These persons of importance all patronize the prestigious House of Creed –– makers of highly original fragrances of extraordinary quality. One of the best kept secrets of olfactory connoisseurs, Creed perfumes are patronized by royalty, heads of state and celebrities who share a passion for the art of fine living. Creed was recently launched in the Philippines through Rustan’s where no less than the heir to the house of Creed in Paris, Erwin Creed, inaugurated the Creed boutique at Rustan’s Makati. The opening was also graced by Vice President Noli de Castro, Manila Mayor Lito Atienza, Rustan’s Commercial Corp. president Bienvenido Tantoco Jr. and Prestige Group of Companies managing director Vinod Dadlani. Highlights of the launch included an auction of exclusively created Creed perfumes, proceeds of which go to the Home for the Angels, a crisis home for abandoned babies. Also seen partying the evening away were Muebles Italiano couple Noel and Eileen Gonzales, Bellevue marketing and communications director Ryan Chan and BMW’s Lito German.
