A Letter from Mayor Bloomberg to Creed on the Occasion of the Madison Boutique Opening {Fragrance News} {Perfume History}


Letter Mayor Bloomberg-B.jpgThe opening of a new Creed boutique on Madison Avenue received the attention of Mayor Bloomberg who sent a letter of welcome to the perfume house on the occasion of its inauguration.

My French translation is available after the jump/Ma traduction en français est disponible dans la deuxième partie de l'article.



"Dear Friends:

It is a great pleasure to welcome all those attending the Grand Opening of the CREED boutique on Madison Avenue.

Family-owned and -operated businesses are the heart and soul of New York City. And while few can claim to be as time-honored or internationally renowed as CREED, we're proud to welcome Emmanuel and Thomas Saujet and this legendary company to midtown. This brand has been synonymous with quality since it began almost 250 years ago, and it has matched its success with a dedication to giving back to the community. This new store will not only create jobs and contribute to our economy, but it will also be a great place for CREED to shwocase their fine wares in one of the world's most celebrated shopping districts.

As the capital of global business, New York City is no stranger to the sweet smell of success--and with a tremendous and thriving market of residents and visitors to cater to, I'm sure this new store will only add to the aroma. On behalf of all New Yorkers, please accept my best wishes for an enjoyable opening and continued success.

Sincerely,

Michael R Bloomberg
Mayor   "...

"Chers Amis,

C'est avec grand plaisir que je souhaite la bievenue à tous ceux ici présents à la Grande Ouverture de la boutique CREED sur Madison Avenue.

Les entreprises appartenant à une famille et opérées par celle-ci constituent le coeur et l'âme de la ville de New York. Et bien que peu puissent prétendre à la même longévité et renommée internationale que CREED, nous sommes fiers d'accueillir Emmanuel et Thomas Saujet ainsi que cette compagnie légendaire dans le centre-ville. Cette marque a été synonyme de qualité en parfumerie depuis ses débuts voilà de cela presque 250 ans et à son succès correspond une égale volonté d'en faire bénéficier la communauté. Cette nouvelle boutique va non seulement créer des emplois et contribuer à notre économie, mais elle sera également pour CREED un lieu privilégié pour mettre leurs articles en valeur dans ce qui est l'un des quartiers commerçants les plus célèbres au monde.

En tant que capitale mondiale des affaires, la ville de New York n'est pas étrangère au doux parfum du succès, et avec un marché énorme et prospère d'habitants et de visiteurs auquel s'adresser, je suis sûre que cette nouvelle boutique ne fera qu'ajouter à cet arôme. Au nom de tous les New-Yorkais, je vous prie d'accepter me meilleurs voeux pour une ouverture agréable et un succès continu."

Sincèrement,

Michael R Bloomberg
Le Maire
