Almost every castle has its secrets. Secret passages are so narrow that a man hardly can go through. Dismal dens are neighboring to large rooms full of air and light. Talks and decisions made here are more interesting than the place itself. What secrets and mysteries does an old castle, a family seat of modern British dynasty keep?
The perfume “The Temptation of Windsdor” is based on contrast – delicate flower notes neighbor to dense and intensive resin and nut accord.

Great Britain Edward VIII and Wallis Simpson is devoted.
It is winter evening. A workroom decorated with dark wood is in a manor. A man is sitting at a table with few candles on it. His posture is perfect and hair is parted. He reads a letter on yellow pages, her very first letter. “Duty” and “honor” are two mainstays of British aristocracy. And he, the heir of British crown, was taught to follow them from his childhood. But sometimes love must conquer duty. At least he has a brother who has children… he took aside her letter with a smell of her perfume and started to write: “I, Edward the Eight, of Great Britain, Ireland, and British Dominions beyond the Seas, King, Emperor of India, do hereby declare My irrevocable determination to renounce the Throne for Myself and for My descendants, and My desire that effect should be given to this Instrument of Abdication immediately…” After a few days he and Wallice got married. The perfume “Melancholy. Letters of Wallice” is a picture to one of the most scandalous love story of XX century between Wallice Simpson and Edward VIII, the British king. It is chypre wooden composition with resin and flowers accents.
