Elegant and opulent, the rich floral notes of rose, geranium, and peony evoke the fresh morning dew on a meadow. At the heart of this bouquet of delicate flowers and their nectar is the essence of the unique Bulgarian Damask rose. The fragrance also owes a touch of fruity sweetness to the gentle pear and a splash of apple. This distinctive presence is built upon the foundation of noble woods, creating a sophisticated base in harmony with musk and amber.
The Maria Theresa décor is one of the great classics of the Augarten porcelain manufactory. The empress laid out a Dutch flower garden at Schönbrunn, and the porcelain decor is a tribute to her love of botany. The bouquets of magnificent roses and other garden flowers, modelled on those of around 1750, are executed in deep copper green, one of the most modern colour inventions of Maria Theresa's time.
