Bouquet du Trianon

A garden in a bottle, this perfume is mood-changing. Tuberose is accentuated, surrounded by green and flowers with ylang-ylang at the forefront. There's also a hint of fruits. A little spritz of this perfume goes a long-way. Long-lasting, this is best for spring and summer.

I am a sucker for history, this fragrance was given to me as a gift. On my skin its a light, but noticeable green floral, it is a charming unusual scent. Nice for Spring or Summer wear, a daytime, garden party perfume.

opening is green and settles to white flowers and ylang-ylang...super love this.

This is such a pretty fragrance. It is like a garden in a bottle, but a landscaped one. I own 3 scents from this brand, one of which I gave to my nephew because it smelled better on him than on me, and one of which I kept as it is a very pretty rose perfume. Out of all of them this is the closest to my imagination of what the Historiae brand was trying to achieve. I read a blurb about this fragrance before its release that piqued my interests. This perfume, along with all the others, were supposedly replicas of the original fragrances of their time. This one is supposedly from a formula made for Marie Antoinette by her perfumer, Jean-Louis Fargeon, based on all the plants and flowers in her personal garden at Trianon. I don't know how true that is or if it's just imaginative advertising from the brand, but this perfume did make me think of English gardens; a style of gardening historians claim Marie Antoinette loved. A very pretty woodsy green floral evoking a rolling expanse of hilly lawns, oak trees and yews, and flowerbeds bursting their borders with fragrant blooms. Beautiful blending creates a smooth, gentle, charming fragrance with delicate silage. I am surprised that such a soft fragrance is supposedly a copy of the formula Marie Antoinette's perfumer created considering the unsanitary times where heavier fragrance was often used to mask body odors. I also don't understand this brand's claim that this is Marie Antoinette's perfumer's creation if Bertrand Duchaufour is listed as the perfumer. Does it count as his creation if he just followed a formula? Maybe a stupid question to ask, but I really don't understand how two things can be true at once. Whatever the case, I suspect this company muddied the historical waters in order to sell this perfume. If true, they shouldn't have bothered, because this is pretty enough to stand on its own merits.

This one is beautiful! Very light but not so light that you cannot smell it...it's simply a light, beautiful and delicate tuberose fragrance. I little hint of green in the beginning and then more of a creamy, delightful tuberose. It also reminds me a little bit of a flower i smelt when I was in Thailand - something honey-like or orchid- or frangipani-like. I guess I'm simply thinking of the main note together with the beeswax, honeysuckle and ylang-ylang. Perfect for spring or early summer when relaxing in a beautiful garden.
