WINDSOR is definitely another Mesterpiece by CREED and it is like all CREED fragrances most expensive too but in my opinion worth the money.It is simply Delicious and Ambrosial. Beautiful,Natural and quite Romantic.
WINDSOR opens with a beautiful blast with Lime and whisper of Pine as it is Fresh.Rose scent in Middle note is enough because to make you realize this is a LOVELY ROMANTIC scent in fact All notes this one are in Perfect harmony.However i find it Little feminine.
For me it is like a smile on a Young boys face.A Great fragrance that can wear for DAY or NIGHT and still make you feel Refresh and Romantic.Perfect for INTIMATE occasions when you want to feel beautiful.
Overall with Good sillage and Longevity a Young or Stylish man can enjoy of this DREAMY scent.
8/10

Very austere and somewhat aloof. I like it for work, but it would great too for a formal night out.
It is very multi-layered and pretty complex. But the fantastic rose does seem to dominate for me.
And it is indeed a very authentic rose note. Nothing synthetic smelling about it. Like leaning over and sniffing a rose bush.
I don't get much leather or ceda yet, but that's not to say they're not there. It will take a few wearings to fully appreciate this one.

Starts off with a mixture of Lime, Pine, and camphoraceous topnotes of both Cedar and Eucalyptus. Gin contains Juniper berry, citrus peel, and Quinine, and those play a light supporting role here. This stage is crisp, uber-clean, almost medicinal in it's Sparkle.
The best Rose note you've ever smelled starts announcing itself behind the green top, and this is my favorite part of the scent that i wish would last forever. At this point, the camphor has evaoprated, leaving just the incredibly fresh leafy smell of the Eucalyptus, and the lower, very dry essence of the pine keeps the scent from being too sweet, here also another intersting canadian herbal/floral shows itself: Solidago Canadensis. I know this scnet well, as it has been one i have tinkered with often in my own scents. At this stage there are also notes I cannot place that smell of many things unexpected: the smell of a new knit-silk sweater, British Kaolin Clay, other very slight floral notes.
As time goes by, the Rose note takes center stage, and it is of unbelievable quality. There is none of the synthetic shrillness of Caraceni or Amouage Lyric man, just natural beauty of the highest order. And along with being an incredibly high quality Rose, the variety is unique, secreting a woody and more masculine resin from it's stem and foliage than other varieties. With still plenty of green leafy notes, herbal notes, and other florals flanking it, this Rose persists as the main star for quite some time. And while it shares a similar quality with the wonderful Damascus Rose in Amouage Homage Attar, I find Windsor's rose superior, and after all, "Moss Rose" Nuits De Young is a genetic adaptation of Damask Rose brought to Europe in the Middle Ages.
Also, there is a very slight tropical note I cannot place, almost papaya like, and this works wonderfully with the green, herbal, and floral notes. The Rose scent stays very prominent above the fray, and for good reason, as one simply cannot get enough of it's uber-pleasant sillage.
After many hours of this incredible Rose scent, an extremely dry Cedar moves in, and shares the stage with the Green leafy notes, herbal notes, Rose and Floral Notes. As time passes, the sweetness of the rose decreases, while it's unique woody resinous notes (unique to "Moss Rose" varities) still are very strong. there is also a subtle leather note, it balances perfectly with the Cedar, and as the scent works the through it's last stages, the balance never loses it's perfection.
Incredible.
