About the Orange Square Company
The Orange Square Company began to work with the House of CREED in 1992.

The House of Creed was acquired by Fontaine Group Ltd in February 2020 and the group subsequently acquired The Orange Square Company the following year as one of its largest global distributors.

The House of Creed is an authentic, luxury perfume house dedicated to the creation of highly original, artisan fragrances for men and women, made from the finest perfume ingredients the world has to offer.

This unique story began in 1760 when a pair of scented leather gloves were delivered to King George III by a new London tailoring company.

Founded by James Henry Creed in the same year as the young Kings accession, the House of Creed started its journey as an exquisite tailor based in Mayfair, London.

Since then, the House of Creed has gone on to create some of the finest garments and fragrances for the discerning and the discriminating for over 260 years, shifting from its tailoring heritage into one of the worlds leading niche perfume houses.

We are present in the most prestigious stores in the UK and Ireland: Names like Harrods, Fenwick, Fortnum & Mason, Harvey Nichols, House of Fraser, John Lewis Partnership, Liberty, Selfridges and even in our own Creed boutiques in London.
