ARQUISTE Parfumeur L'Or de Louis Eau de Parfum 3.3 fl. oz

An opulent formula including 24 karat gold, transporting you to the Palace of Versailles at its apex. L'OR DE LOUIS evokes the moments when Louis XIV and his Court would visit the Grand Orangery to delight in the flowering orange trees warmed by bonfires. A bright orange blossom with a warm, woody background, including notes of orange blossom absolute, pomegranate, honey and firewood smoke. Historical background: April 1687, The Orangery, Versailles.

More than a thousand Mediterranean trees are housed in the cathedral-like galleries of the Orangery. Built by the King's architect to impress courtiers, the tree-lined space became a theatrical setting to entertain the Court. Inside, the gardeners would build bonfires to keep the trees warm so when the Sun King visited, the heady scent of firewood blended with his beloved orange blossoms would emit a generous golden aura.
