CRA-YON intro_image

Founded by creative couple, Christine and Niclas Lydeen, CRA-YON is a fragrance company based in Gothenburg, Sweden. The Lydeens have developed award-winning fragrances in the premium category for many years, always with the same fascination and exploration of the transportive power of scent as a wellbeing enhancer.

Finally, in 2020, together they set up CRA-YON to develop their own line of fragrances to inspire and elevate, without the creativity-stifling boundaries of mass market perfumery.

Christine has a background in fashion and studied at Studio Bercot in Paris, where she moved to due to her French roots. She lived in Paris and worked for agencies such as Li Edelkoort and the fashion house Vivienne Westwood before fragrance became her main form of expression. Christine returned to Sweden where she met Niclas, an Art Director and visual artist. Niclas has an MFA in Design and has worked as a Creative Director for several brands and design agencies, and has also worked artistically with senses and scent as a starting point.

Together the couple realised their dream of working artistically with fragrance. After 13 years creating award winning scents, renowned exhibitions and with worldwide recognition, they now utilise CRA-YON to push the boundaries of their creativity with high quality and long lasting ingredients. They are creating fragrances at a lower price point than their other premium scent company, and have taken a clean and sophisticated approach to our packaging design in order to keep costs down and be more environmentally friendly.
