NINA’s Marie-Antoinette, place Vendôme
Heritage of secular traditions, NINA’S teahouse finds it origin during the XVII century, when Pierre Diaz founded the Distilleries Frères in 1672. Specialized in the production of perfumes and essential oils, the Distillerie Frères provided them to the prestigious Court of Versailles, where the distillery acquired an excellent reputation in the art of blending fragrances.
The original formula of Marie-Antoinette, kept secret since 1788, is jealously preserved by NINA’S. This historical recipe is a clever mix of fresh hand-picked apples and precious rose petals.
Versailles 1672 , élaboré pour les Rois
Founded in 1672 in Paris by Pierre Diaz, “La Distillerie Frères” was the first perfume to distill lavender and rose essences to embellish the gloves of the time.
Soon after, he became known as the “magician of aroma” , and became the official perfume supplier to the court of Versailles for King Louis XIV.
His rose essence was subsequently particularly appreciated by Queen Marie-Antoinette, who oversaw the purchase of the product herself.
Une authenticité rare et Royale
Today, the original orders and invoices of her Majesty The Queen are kept and exhibited in the museum-shop Nina’s Vendôme in Paris.
The manufacture is named after the great-granddaughter of the founder, and still perpetuates the unique heritage of the Royal Rose of Queen Marie-Antoinette.
