The sixth and final woman that we are celebrating for Women’s Week is Marguerite Gachet who is the inspiration for the Folie de Marguerite fragrance.

Marguerite was surrounded by masters painters since here birth since her father was an art lover. Marguerite wanted to break the glass ceiling and become a painter herself so she came up with a plan to leave for the United States of America, however, Vincent van Gogh enters her life and she falls in love with him. Although van Gogh is obsessed with his passion for painting, they have an affair which changes her mind to stay home, close to him. She was convinced that his love was real for her however, van Gogh’s obsession for painting intensified. Together they went through a spiral of hopes and deception that resulted in the painter’s su***de. Although some people dispute wether or not their love was real or just a fantasy in her mind, Marguerite’s intense love for him was truly real. It was true that she was his muse, with the “Marguerite Gachet in the Garden” painting as evidence.

The Folie de Marguerite fragrance is inspired by her father’s garden where van Gogh painted her full of tuberoses, irises and marigolds. The fragrance contains earthy and resinous flowers. Cedarwood and oud combined with elemi and myrrh implode into Impressionism.
