"Thanks to Queen Catherine de' Medici, the city of Grasse became the world capital of perfume in the 16th century, cultivating jasmine and rose to produce the scented gloves of the Court. The reign of Louis XIV, also known as the 'Grand Century,' is marked by a lavish court established at Versailles that indulges in perfumes for personal care, as clear water was then suspected of transmitting diseases through the pores of the skin. Soon, the palace of the kings of France takes on the title of 'scented court,' heavily infused with this Grand Century rose that all sovereigns will adore."
