Le bassin de Neptune

Discover in the gardens of Versailles Palace the Neptune Basin, constructed under the direction of Le Nôtre from 1679 to 1681, originally named the “Pièce d’Eau sous le Dragon.”

It was later modified by Ange-Jacques Gabriel in 1736, and in 1740, the sculpture referencing Neptune, the god of the sea, was added. King Louis XV himself inaugurated it.

You can observe this basin that inspired our fragrance. Additionally, the design of our Le bassin de Neptune fragrance pays homage to the sea and the basin’s 99 water jets.

In the coloured collection, the scented candle is tinted a blue hue reminiscent of the water.

Une Nuit au Château

The design of this candle is deeply inspired by Versailles Palace, particularly the Royal Gate that you see upon entering the grounds of the Domaine de Versailles.

This majestic gate marks the division between the Cour d’Honneur and the Cour Royale of the Palace. Installed during the reign of Louis XIV, it disappeared during the French Revolution. In 2008, it was reconstructed and has since become a symbol of Versailles.

On the packaging of the fragrance Une Nuit au Château, you will find the motifs of the Royal Gate, an iconic emblem of Versailles.

XIV

The “Sun King” bears many strong and well-known symbols from what is called the Grand Siècle.

Undoubtedly, the sun is the most important emblem associated with King Louis XIV.

He is linked in a certain way to Apollo, the god of peace and the arts, but above all to the celestial body—the star closest to us—that shines, radiates over others, and sustains life.

You will find on the design of each product in the XIV fragrance the radiant mask featuring the monarch’s face, a reference to the sun.

You can also discover the famous fleur-de-lys.

Pétales d’églantine

In the gardens of Versailles Palace lies the Queen’s Grove.

This tranquil spot pays tribute to Marie-Antoinette’s passion for flowers, particularly rose bushes, of which the grove boasts 600.

Nestled somewhat apart, the grove offered the queen a peaceful place to stroll, surrounded by 38 varieties of roses—her favorite flower.

The Pétales d’églantine fragrance, with its rose notes, pays homage to this garden, as does its design.

On the packaging of this scent, golden rose petals are delicately illustrated.
