Tuileries Collection

To mark its 380th anniversary, Trudon is diving into history and launching a new collection called Tuileries: the new fragrance-available in four formats and a diffuser-alludes to French heritage and its countless stories.

In the early months of the French Revolution, Marie Antoinette and King Louis XVI were forced to leave Versailles for the Tuileries Palace, where the ruling family was confined to house arrest.

Between 1791 and 1792, despite the strict surveillance, the queen managed to exchange letters with one of her confidants, Swedish Count Axel von Fersen, from which some of the most extreme moments of her life emerge: she is under house arrest, afraid for her life and her family.
The Tuileries Collection finds its inspiration in a rare document preserved in the French National Archives: the Gazette des Atours de la Reine.

In what appears to be an ordinary notebook, Countess Geneviève d'Ossun, a French courtesan who was Marie Antoinette's lady-in-waiting and first maid of honor, collected numerous samples of fabric used to make the dresses and suits of sovereigns.
