Royal-Oud’s Noble Mission

Monday, July 11th, 2011

Royal-Oud is the new fragrance from CREED capturing the splendor of palace life, Persian and Parisian, for the modern American man and woman, in a way no other fragrance has.  Already owned by English royals and America’s most famous dynasty in politics,  Royal-Oud has an international mission.  Rich with oud, the sumptuous ingredient coaxed from Agarwood trees, acquired personally by Erwin CREED from local providers in India, luxurious CREED Royal-Oud gives back  to India as well.

Part of proceeds from sales of Royal-Oud in the US and Canada benefits child health in India via the nonprofit group Global Giving.  Specifically, funds from Royal-Oud sales will help establish camps to provide immunizations in remote parts of India not served by state health facilities.  That is why CREED, as reported by The Wall Street Journal, presented debut bottles to the Duke and Duchess of Windsor during their recent visit to California; the royal couple are the future heads of the British Commonwealth, including India.  Enjoying CREED Royal-Oud is enjoying mindful luxury.

Commission from Queen Maria Cristina of Spain

Royal Warrant: With this paper, Queen Maria Cristina of Spain named CREED her official perfumer in 1885

As CREED celebrates its 250th year, a review of its archives reveals letters and orders from royalty, statesmen, First Ladies, champion athletes, world famous artists, legendary business chiefs, headliners and other VIPs. Among these treasures are CREED’s Royal Warrants of Appointment, papers issued by kings or queens when they named CREED their official fragrance supplier. An example is CREED’s royal warrant from Queen Maria Cristina of Spain, the great niece of Marie Antoinette of France.

Queen Maria Cristina aspired to make a style statement like her famous French relative (but without sparking a revolution). The Spanish queen appointed CREED her perfumer on June 25, 1885, knowing that CREED, then more than 100 years old, was a choice at once elegant and popular across Europe.
