Royal Wedding: Meghan Markle has an official perfume for the day - where can you buy it?
ROYAL wedding: Meghan Markle will marry Prince Harry in May, and her official wedding day perfume has been revealed.
Harry and Meghan: Countdown to the royal wedding
Meghan Markle, 36, will marry Prince Harry, 33, this May in Windsor, and her official perfume for the Royal Wedding has been revealed.
Created by the only perfumer to hold a Royal Warrant from the Queen, Floris, the scent fits in will with other elements of the day.
The brand have created a bespoke scent for the nuptials inspired by Bergamotto di Positano. This warm, citrus-infused unisex scent was created in homage to Charles Joseph Pagliano.
In the early 19th century, Magliano left the small fishing village of Positano, on the Amalfi coast to travel to England and marry his sweetheart Mary Floris.
From what is already known of the Royal Wedding, there will be plenty of flowers and floral elements, including the wedding cake.
Royal Wedding: Meghan Markle's official perfume has been revealed
Floris describe the perfume as “a vivacious combination of orange blossom with a hint of vanilla which lends a smooth character and creaminess to complement the initial sparkle”.
Meghan was well known to love Italy, naming her now-defunct blog The Tig after an Italian wine.
This is not the first royal wedding perfume Floris have created, as they made “Wedding Bouquet” for Prince William and Kate Middleton for their 2011 nuptials.
Kate ended up wearing White Gardenia Petals by Illuminum on the day, a fact confirmed by Clarence House at the time.
While Kate’s fragrance is available to buy, Floris’ specially created perfume for Meghan and Harry is not.
However, Floris do sell the original Bergamotto di Positano that inspired the royal version for £120 for 100ml.
Elements of the Royal Wedding, which is just weeks away, are slowly being revealed by Kensington Palace.
The florist was named last week, and the honour has gone to floral designer Philippa Craddock to create the church flowers for the May nuptials.
The happy couple will be surrounded by white garden roses, peonies and foxgloves on the Royal Wedding day. Meghan often shared images of peonies to her now-defunct Instagram page, saying they are her favourite flower.
Kensington Palace have revealed that Craddock, who is self-taught, will direct a team which includes florists from St George's Chapel and Buckingham Palace to create the displays at St George's Chapel and for St George's Hall.
The cake is being made by Claire Ptak, a pastry chef and owner of Violet Cakes, who will create the royal wedding cake for the couple, and you could order a very similar creation from their special orders menu.
The couple have chosen a lemon elderflower cake decorated with fresh flowers, the Kensington Palace Twitter account has confirmed in an announcement last month.
The announcement read: “For their wedding cake Prince Harry and Ms. Meghan Markle have chosen pastry chef Claire Ptak, owner of the London-based bakery @violetcakes.
“Prince Harry and Ms. Markle have asked Claire to create a lemon elderflower cake that will incorporate the bright flavours of spring. It will be covered with buttercream and decorated with fresh flowers.”
“Claire Ptak, who was raised in California, focuses on using seasonal and organic ingredients in her cakes."
