Un Certain Été à Livadia by Baccarat: launched in 1999. Created by perfumer Christine Nagel.
In 1997, Baccarat launched its first perfume, a feminine one called Une Nuit Etoilée au Bengale (A Starry Night in Bengal). The firm inaugurated the trilogy Les Contes d'Ailleurs (Tales from Elsewhere), followed by Les Larmes sacrées de Thebes (The Sacred Tears of Thebes), in 1998, and Un Certain Été à Livadia (A Certain Summer in Livadia) in 1999.
Un Certain Été à Livadia was issued as a limited edition of only 1500 examples. The perfume's name means "A Certain Summer in Livadia" referring to the 1945 Yalta (Crimea) Conference held in Livadia Palace where the BIG 3 leaders (Churchill, Roosevelt and Stalin) met to negotiate how post-war Europe was to be reformed.
Livadia Palace, is located on the shores of the Black Sea in Crimea. It was one of the last residences if the Czar and his family, later seized by the Bolsheviks and now transformed into a museum. The scent of the perfume was inspired by the lush rose garden at Livadia Palace.
