Perfume captures the fragrance of Marie Antoinette's gardens


New York City based perfumers Fabrice Penot and Edouard Roschi of Le Labo have teamed up with florist Thierry Boutemy and perfumer BarnabĂ© Fillion to create a new fragrance reminiscent of Marie Antoinette's gardens. Penot and Roschi have been fans of Boutemy's designs since he worked on set at Versailles set creating incredible floral arrangements for Sofia Coppola's Marie Antoinette (2006).






Together Le Labo and Boutemy have created the limited-edition fragrance Geranium 30.  Priced at $240 for 100ml, there are only 100 bottles for sale!

An explosive, sweet floral top note settles into a soft and powdery base, reminiscent of a garden late in the season. It is handmade in Le Labo's signature glass bottles, with custom-printed floral labels.

The fragrance, is comparable to the 'wild' gardens at the Petit Trianon - perfectly curated to transport you there.  A luxury to be sure!

And here are some of the floral arrangements that inspired the perfumers. I know the whole film was a visual feast but did you take time to notice the floral pieces in different scenes?

This floral arrangement perfectly compliments the chinoiserie vase.

And all the flower crowns of course!

It is always exciting when perfumers look to the history of 18th century France for inspiration.  DSH Perfumes created their collection of The Perfumed Court a few years back.


Eau de Trianon is pictured here from the Perfumed Court collection. This perfume is based on detailed notes for the fragrance, “Parfum du Trianon” commissioned by Marie Antoinette. I have this (my review here) and love it!
