Pierre Frey Bougie Marie-Antoinette (2006) {Home Fragrance}


Pierre-Frey-Bougie-Marie-Antoinette copy.jpgParisian home textile designer Pierre Frey has a scented candle or bougie parfumée paying homage to the ex-queen of France Marie-Antoinette. It is simply named after her.

As already indicated earlier, there is a veritable Marie-Antoinette fashion going on in France, fueled in part also by the popular pastel-colored, gourmand movie by Sofia Coppola (2006). The candle is said to be centered on "an accord of rice powder softly evoking with nostalgia the French perfumery of yore"...

Top notes are bergamot, raspberry, rice powder, peach; heart notes are rose, orris, clove, violet; base notes are musk, benzoin, vanilla, leather.

From the press release in French, which gives a more detailed description of the effects of the notes,

"Le parfum Marie Antoinette fût créé autour d'un accord de poudre de riz évoquant avec une douce nostalgie la parfumerie française d'autrefois.

Les notes de têtes colorées de Pêche et de Framboise s'illuminent grâce à la fraîcheur de zestes de Bergamote. En cœur, les senteurs épicées de Clous de Girofle mêlent leur puissance enivrante à un accord floral poudré de Violette et d'Iris. La Rose et le jasmin enrichissent la fragrance de leurs effluves capiteux. En fond, l'alliance du cuir et du musc crée un effet sensuel et vibrant. Le parfum s'épanouit enfin sur des notes balsamiques de Benjoin et de Vanille qui apportent confort et matière.
"

You also have the option of a room spray in the same scent.

The Marie-Antoinette home candle lasts for 50 hours and is priced at 41 Euros. It is available 27 rue du mail 75002 Paris or 2 bis rue de Fürstenberg 75006 Paris or upon request by calling (33) 01 44 77 36 00.
