Perfume and Fragrances Inspired by Shakespeare, Ophelia - The British Library | ARTiSTORY

Despite the duality of love and tragedy, Ophelia, our doomed heroine reminds us of the simplicity and beauty of love. Little daisies, symbolizing Ophelia's untouched and tender spirit, serve as a reminder of her untainted soul. These flowers, associated with her gentle nature and tragic fate, reflect the purity and innocence of love in the story.

Shakespeare, also seen as a botanist and alchemist, used flowers and plants as powerful metaphors in his works, reflecting the era's love for floral scents. The British Library’s Shakespeare collection features his manuscripts and illustrations, as well as botanical studies associated to the bard, revealing his deep passion for plants. This collection enriches our understanding of how botanical imagery played a vital role in his storytelling.

Through ARTiSTORY's museum licensing program, we help brands create their own Art Collection series, transforming their products into collectible pieces.
