This capazo is born from the imagination of Marie Antoinette and perhaps from the personal space of the last queen of France that has attracted the most attention of artists and designers: her dressing table. Historians say that “privacy” at court was born with Marie Antoinette. Extravagant and lover of luxury, the queen imposed white tones and pastel pantone, the same tones of her beloved macarons, which accompanied her as she sat in front of her dressing table, a beautiful wooden piece of furniture with fabulous mirrors, on which exquisite accessories rested. toiletries, brushes, compacts, brushes and their unmistakable and fresh perfumes. Because with it the strong aromas that prevailed at the court were left behind, giving way to environments of freshly cut flowers from the gardens of Versailles and fresh infusions that were turned into perfumes.
