"Liberté, égalité, fraternité . . . and fragrance!" Marie Antoinette's fragrance is revived!

Of course since I'm new this blogging world you all don't know I have a painful obsession with perfume, that I'm not even embarrassed to admit. I love it. I would get into why I love it all and everything but really... who cares? We all love it. Anyway! I found that Lubin, a french Perfume house, is reviving a floral scent created for her by Jean-Louis Fargeon (the royal nose if you will) inspired by her beloved gardens at Versailles. She had it with her even during her imprisonment and held the "midnight colored jade vial" until she slipped it to her most trusted friend, the Marquise de Tourzel (who's family still owns the vial to this day) shortly before her death. Black Jade (130.00 YIKES) is now available for anyone who wants a smell into the past at Aedes.





Might have to save up for this one!
