The newly renovated Musée International de la Parfumerie, in Grasse, France, recently reopened after three years of expansion work. Among other features, the Museum offers the largest collection of fragrance bottles in the world, from antique flasks designed for the last Queen of France, Marie-Antoinette, to the most modern perfume bottles. To mark the museum’s grand reopening, Denis Boudard, president and founder of U.S./French design firm QSLD, was asked to develop an exclusive bottle design for a limited edition. The result: a concept bottle entitled “1788… Waiting for the Revolution!” The bottle’s “neo-classic” interior black cavity is captured within a monolithic modern shape of heavy crystal. Boudard explains, “We have a bottle that literally combines modernity with the notion of an anticipated mourning of the ancient time right before it fades away.” The prestigious limited edition bottle will be exhibited permanently at the museum. A few copies will be sold at auction, with the proceeds donated to the museum.
