Creed Windsor - Royalty Need Not Shout

The CREED royal fragrance house of Paris offers the public for the first time Windsor, created in 1936 for King Edward VIII of England from ingredients grown in the British Empire. Edward was the first pilot to be king, and Windsor is presented in a shatterproof 1.7 oz. leather-wrapped bottle ideal for aircraft carry-on ($405). It is also offered in an 8.4 oz. flacon numbered by laser and signed by sixth-generation master perfumer Olivier CREED ($605). Only 320 bottles and 70 flacons will be offered in the U.S., arriving in December at select Saks Fifth Avenue stores, CREED at 794 Madison Avenue in New York and www.creedcollection.com.

Windsor is part of the daring life of Edward VIII. Created for His Majesty in January 1936, Windsor was delivered in December, when the king quit the throne to marry American divorcee Wallis Simpson. 

Gone from England, living in Paris, the ex-king, known as the Duke of Windsor, wore this scent as he and his wife starred on the international social scene from Paris to Palm Beach, Monte Carlo, New York, Hollywood and Cannes.

The duke’s friends and associates observed that Windsor was as subtle as his masterfully tailored suits, hand made shirts and subdued silk ties.

“Royalty need not shout,” the duke replied. That idea is in CREED Windsor.
