On August 26, 1912, Russian Emperor Nicholas II gave the Highest Manifesto in honor of the hundredth anniversary of the Battle of Borodino, which was actually the culmination of the anniversary celebrations commemorating the victory in the Patriotic War of 1812.The anniversary was celebrated very widely; the entire Russian industry responded with enthusiasm to this patriotic “state order.” The leading perfume companies not only in Moscow and St. Petersburg, but also in “beautiful France” and the British Empire were no exception. Such unusual souvenirs are kept in the glass collection of the State Historical Museum.It is interesting that the image of the anniversary perfume ware was inextricably linked primarily with images of Napoleon Bonaparte, his famous headdress, as well as the single-headed eagle - the symbol of the First French Empire. This is easily explained: firstly, in 1912, the Russian Empire was in an allied relationship with the French Republic, and, secondly, leading Russian perfumers were of French origin. In such a context of “political correctness,” such biases seem quite logical.
Despite the thematic commonality, and even the commonality of the choice of “hero,” the bottles clearly differ in design concept.Information about the company:Perfume factory of the joint-stock company "Perfumerie Moderne-Paris",
