To Josephine, first Empress of the French and first wife of Napoleon, Chaumet was been already inspired last year (article here). In his large villa a few kilometers from Paris, the humid Malmaison, Josephine Beauharnais had withdrawn (she was not very happy, actually) while Napoleon was engaged in the Campaign of Egypt and, to pass the time, she cultivated roses and hydrangeas. For this Chaumet launched last year, the celebratory collection to remember this conjunction between the nobility and gardening. The renewed Hortensia Milky Way, instead of being declined on the pink shades, took as a model the hydrangeas with florescence that is more blue. Hortensia Milky Way is part of the Jardin collection. In this case, the flowers are made with a cascade of diamonds, the rays of the Milky Way, in addition tanzanite, sapphire and white chalcedony. A garden under the stars and the imperial auspices: the collection also has a lot of emotional references. Alessia Mongrando
