In 1774, Michel Adam, a perfumer-glovemaker from Versailles, opened a boutique in Paris, which he named “À la Reine des Fleurs.” The success was immediate, especially within the court of King Louis XVI. That same year, he created his first Eau de Cologne, named after the boutique: Eau de Cologne de la Reine des Fleurs. Adopted by Marie-Antoinette, it quickly became a must-have at court.
The formula was reinterpreted in 1874 to mark the house’s centenary, and has been carefully preserved ever since, now reintroduced for today’s audience.
