The box features the imperial coat of arms of Empress Eugenie, wife of Napoleon III, represented by a bee, as Maison Violet was the official supplier to the House of Empress Eugenie under the Second Empire, as well as to numerous European royal courts.
A la Reine des Abeilles was a great perfumery and luxury soap house from its creation in 1827 until 1955 when the brand disappeared. But a young trio of entrepreneurs has just woken the house from its slumber since 2017 with the launch of new fragrances.
