HISTORIC PERFUME AND SOAP SHOP
Walking down a narrow side street near the
Opera I discovered this 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.
