Description
To mark the 400th anniversary of the birth of the Marquise de Sévigné, Jacqueline Padilla highlights the role of perfume at the heart of a sweet-scented 17th century. Thanks to the influence of Louis XIV, perfume became a true art form at Versailles and across all European courts. From the evolution of therapeutic herb gardens (jardin des simples) and cosmetic practices to the golden age of fragrance, Jacqueline invites you on an interactive sensory journey.
