Description
Grand-mère’s bedroom always smelled faintly of violets. Her dressing table stood by the window, draped in lace, and on it, beside a hand mirror and a dish of hairpins, sat a perfume egg on an ornate little stand. Its pale blue flowers matched the curtains exactly, and as a child Mathilde believed the two had been made together, perhaps by the same fairy.
She was allowed to lift the lid only on special occasions, and she would close her eyes and breathe in the scent as though it were a secret. Now grown, she keeps a similar egg on her own dressing table and tells her daughter the very same story. This blue floral perfume egg on its stand carries that gentle, nostalgic grace. It suits a grandmother, a mother, a bride, or a friend who appreciates classic, feminine décor. Set it on a vanity among crystal bottles, or in a bedroom display cabinet beside family photographs.

A little heirloom feeling from the very first day, made to be passed from one dressing table to the next. Few gifts carry a grandmother’s tenderness so naturally.
