Chapter 911 Perfume bottle design
Since entering the Middle Ages, Christianity has had a huge influence on marriage in the Western world.Christianity is the largest religion in the world. With the increasing number of missionaries, the ideas of these missionaries are also constantly spreading along with life.

In Christianity, the relationship between husband and wife should also be in the form of "monogamy".Christianity believes that marriage is the most important thing in life, and the relationship between husband and wife is established by God, which is sacred, pure and undefiled.

At the same time, Christianity includes marriage in the Christian sacrament theory as one of the seven sacraments.Therefore, in the period of ancient civilization in the West, people's views on marriage were largely influenced by Christianity.

However, this does not mean that Westerners really abide by this point. In history, many kings and nobles had mistresses and illegitimate children. For example, the most famous Portuguese "Joao the Great" was the illegitimate son of his father.

And the French King Louis XIV was not so pious in his private life. If you want to compare it, it is more similar to Qianlong who often went to the south of the Yangtze River.

Like the "Sun King" depicted in the artwork, Louis XIV had mistresses all over the continent.According to historical records, there are as many as eight famous "official mistresses", and there are countless illegitimate children.

However, unlike many princes and nobles, Louis XIV's search for a mistress was at least partly based on love, not simply to meet physical needs.In the personal biographies of his mistresses, one of the most frequent phrases is "fell in love".

There are often two possibilities for being strong in this regard. One situation is that this person is particularly attractive in appearance, tall, mighty, good-looking, and outstanding in the biological sense.

The other is that it is particularly provocative, very attractive to what you say and do, and dominates the field of emotional knowledge.

In daily life, the former are often handsome men and beautiful women with well-proportioned bodies and look very healthy, while the latter cannot be seen from the appearance, but if you chat with him, you will find that just a few words will make you feel like a spring breeze a feeling of.

And Louis XIV is 1 meters tall (that's why he invented high heels), and suffered severe hair loss after middle age (wigs are used to cover baldness), so he is obviously not the first type of person.

There is no doubt that the status of king has a decisive bonus for Louis 14, but in addition, Louis 14's own emotional intelligence also played a great role in this regard.

First of all, he is particularly good at capturing and guessing the psychology of the other party. For example, when he was in love with the divorced Fran oise d'Aubigné, Louis XIV immediately married her shortly after dating and enshrined the territory.

Although this marriage did not have "legal benefits", it gave Aubigné, who was not seen by the upper class due to divorce, a sense of stability and security. The two had seven children together.

Furthermore, Louis XIV has a long relationship.He is not like other princes and nobles looking for mistresses purely to satisfy physical needs, just like a child looking for toys.

The Sun King has been in contact with many mistresses for more than three years, and has been with Louise de La Vallière for six years, and has six children.

Yes, and he was able to be in love with several women at the same time, and handled multiple relationships with ease, which also reflected from the side how high the emotional intelligence and energy of Louis XIV was.

He can grasp women's hearts and be in love, but Louis XIV will never be blinded by sex. Even in multiple relationships, he can maintain enough reason.

For example, there was a mistress, Fran oise-Athénas, who was very close to him, because she was too obsessed with Louis XIV, trying to enjoy his love alone, and held a black mass with a baby as a sacrifice. After Louis XIV found out, he said nothing. He said he ended his relationship with her immediately.

However, when the ministers of the DPRK and China proposed to execute Fran oise-Athénas, Louis XIV stood up and vetoed the proposal because of his old feelings. In the end, he only asked for religious influence on Fran oise-Athénas.
Unlike the Chinese, the French are very tolerant of lovers, especially those powerful men looking for lovers, such as a certain former French president.

Even at the funeral of this president, his lover showed up with his daughter and his wife with his son, which is basically impossible in other countries.

So for the French, the lovers of those big shots are naturally something that can be discussed publicly, and can even be used by these perfumers as a source of inspiration for their own creations.

For example, the perfume called the Garden of Versailles created by Mr. Guerlain originated from this, so the two of them smelled a little bit of escape under the very grand aroma.

"I believe that if you are willing to engage in the perfume blending industry, you will definitely be able to become a top perfume blender in a short period of time," Mr. Guerlain said with emotion after briefly explaining his design ideas.

"So I'm now more confident that you can design a completely appropriate packaging for this fragrance, because feeling it in person and hearing it from me and then designing it are two different things."

"Thank you for your compliment, and also thank you for your trust in me." After calling me Mr. Lan's compliment, Liang En said with a slight smile.

At the same time, he also thinks that Mr. Guerlain's artistic level is definitely not low, because if it's just the Palace of Versailles, it is more suitable for the more gorgeous but more serious Baroque style.

But if it is the women of the Palace of Versailles, the rococo style that Liang En is good at can come in handy, because this style is obviously more suitable for the core temperament of this perfume than other styles.

Because of his extraordinary power, Liang En was inspired in terms of design, so after leaving the Guerlain booth, he quickly left the Grand Palais and went to a core workshop in Paris belonging to the Duris family.

According to Liang En's idea, the core of making the perfume bottle this time is the little freshness under the gorgeousness, and this is also the most challenging part of the whole design.

Fortunately, for Liang En, he already had some inspiration when he smelled the perfume just now, so for him, the next job is not too difficult, he just needs to follow the idea just now.

In the next few hours, a wax model of a beautiful bottle gradually appeared in Liang En's hands. It was a square glass bottle with a flower-shaped little angel made of gold, silver and Swarovski crystals on the outside. pattern.

Among them, the glass bottle is very thick and square, with a little angel on each side, flowers and flower baskets. The little angel is very three-dimensional, using the technique of bas-relief.

Because this is a prototype, Liang En used 18k gold to construct the metal part in the design, and the bottle also used top-quality gemstone glass and hand-cut it into the desired shape.

As for the official version, it will definitely not be made in this way, but will use a cast bottle body with a 24K gold-plated silver frame to ensure an important balance between cost and luxury.

"Very good design." Just as Liang En finished his work and put the wax model and the drawn pattern together for the final comparison, Mary's voice sounded behind him. "If it were me, I would definitely be willing to spend money on it."
