Marie-Anne de La Trémoille

Marie-Anne de La Trémoille (1642-1722) was a French noblewoman known for her influence in the world of fragrance. As the Princess of Nerola, she famously infused her gloves, baths, and palace with the scent of neroli, derived from orange blossom. Her legacy continues to resonate in perfumery, as the term 'neroli' itself is derived from her title, linking her to the enduring appeal of this fragrant essence.
