Kirsten Dunst in Sofia Coppola's Marie Antoinette
Bastille Day meant the end of the reign of Marie Antoinette and her King.
The beautiful Queen hated by the French Citizens for her opulent style and extravagant taste,
was to spend her final days at La Conciergerie.
Despite her imprisonment, the French Queen continued
to receive regular supplies of her favorite fragrance from her loyal perfumer, Jean-Louis Fargeon.
Inspired by the Queen's secret gardens, he created a scent with lush roses, jasmine, and exotic spices from distant lands. A black jade bottle held the last remaining scent to be copied by Fargeon's indiscreet apprentice, Pierre Francois Lubin.
