Napoleon - My Fake Diary

Friday, 27 July 2012

Whatever has the world come to?

I found this in a Paris magazine while having a quick haunt this morning: "The century-old fragrance by Francois Coty is in illustrious company, with to one side the 14th-century "Water of the Queen of Hungary" and to the other the Cologne water that Napoleon Bonaparte used in exile on Saint Helena, dated 1815."

Apparently it is worth many many hundreds of thousands of francs?

For a smell like my Cologne? I could have equipped an army twice over for that less!
