Macron’s fragrance overpowering aides in Elysée Palace

Emmanuel Macron wears so much cologne that aides “scent” his presence before he enters the room, according to a new book on life at the Elysée Palace.

In what is seen as a deliberate “attribute of power,” Mr Macron sprays on “industrial amounts” of Dior Eau Savage, according to a new book.

Extracts from The Tragedy of the Elysée, by Le Parisien journalist Olivier Beaumont, claim Mr Macron freshens up with the popular cologne “at all hours of the day”.

The 100ml bottles of the eau de parfum retail at £104 and Mr Macron always has “a bottle always to hand, particularly in one of the drawers of his desk”.

The book claims: “Less-accustomed visitors may find themselves overcome by the floral and musky scent, as refined as it is powerful. It is a sign of one thing: that the president is in the building.”

“Just as Louis XIV made his perfumes an attribute of power when he paraded through the galleries of Versailles, Emmanuel Macron uses his as an element of his authority at the Elysée,” it goes on.

Unfortunately, it doesn’t mask the smell of burning sulfur that surrounds Micron.

Maybe it’s like President Snow in the Hunger Games series, who has to keep roses on him to mask the scent of the blood in his mouth from all the poison he drank while offing his opponents.

Macron didn’t need to overdo it with the cologne to make people feel nauseous.

That was common throughout the ancient world. The Greeks introduced regular bathing to the Mideast. Gymnasiums and public baths were a big part of Hellenstic culture.

Thanks for the two clips.

Life is not so carefree these days as it was when I was much younger.

Gross. There’s nothing worse than being in an elevator with somebody who swims in perfume/cologne.
