Josephine On A New Perfume Bottle

Last week in Paris I saw these perfumes being launched at a department store in Paris. 
I was confused about Josephine's image since the perfume description is as follows:

Violette Impériale

Eau de toilette spray 100 ml or 50 ml
Creation of the perfumer Constant MICHAUX.
Contains fair trade certified essential oils.
Natural alcohol without phtalates

VIOLETTE IMPERIALE presents a generous and rich violet that recalls with  elegance the splendor of the Second Empire. 

Top : orange, blackcurrant, peach
Heart : violet, iris, raspberry, ylang ylang
Dry down : vanilla, musk, amber, vetiver, sandalwood

In the language of flowers, the violet represents shyness, modesty, decency and is a symbol for secret love. It was the favorite flower of the Empress Eugénie de Montijo (1826 – 1920)  wife of Napoleon III.

On the case is represented an imperial symbol: the bee, which evokes immortality and resurrection and establishes a link between the new dynasty and the origins of France.

I guess a picture of Empress Eugenie wouldn't sell as many bottles.
If they wanted to name a perfume after Josephine I think they should have assigned the rose scent to her.

It is as necessary for the heart to feel 

as for the body to be fed.

Gifts Ideas For The Insensitive

This might look like a photo of Napoleon's tomb.

You know, his final resting place in Paris.
Instead it is a decorative box.

Anyone Going to Columbia?

 I would love to see this exhibit in Columbia, if only to get a closer look at this painting.  Beautiful!

There is a great video showcasing the items in the show if you go to this link.
