Some stories are lost to time, only to be rediscovered later. Some passions defy the ages and are rekindled and reborn...
Walking down a narrow side street near the
Opera one discovers a perfume shop dating from 1720. Oriza L. Legrand made
perfumes, face creams, and rice powder for Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette. The
perfumes, formulated in the late 1800s, have Art Nouveau labels with romantic
names like Reve d’Ossian, Horizon, Deja le Printemps, Jardins d’Armide, and
Relique d’Amour.
Scented candles had some captivating combinations including La Treve des Confiseurs, which had notes of orange jam, cinnamon, honey, and cedar and Fin comme l’Ambre had notes of amber, patchouli, musk, and vanilla.
The shop also features a selection of delicate silk patterned bow ties for men.
