"Will posterity believe that persons whose relatives died on the scaffold did not institute days of solemn and common affliction during which, assembled in mourning clothing, they would attest to their grief over such cruel, such recent losses, but instead [instituted] days of dancing where the point was to waltz, drink and eat to one's heart's content?"
—Mercier
Inspired by the Bals des Victimes (Victims' Balls) held by aristocratic survivors of the Reign of Terror. Participants were said to adopt the style of dress known as the "costume à la victime," which included a red ribbon or shawl around the neck at the point of a guillotine blade's impact, and wearing the hair short like the haircut given to the victims prior to execution.
A heady, decadent scent with notes of white cake, calla lily, wine, rose, blackberry, honey blossom, raspberry, honeysuckle, and grapefruit.
