On July 29, 1981, dressed in the notes of Some Flowers, a bewitching floral juice, the princess climbs up the wing of Saint Paul's Cathedral. A pronounced trail that envelops the whole assembly. And for good reason, a few hours earlier Princess Diana wanted to place drops of her perfume on her wrists, but an incident occurred: she accidentally spilled part of the contents of the bottle on the sumptuous dress she had just put on. Barbara Daly, the makeup artist in charge of her bridal makeup, explains that she is simply advised to hide the left stain by holding her dress to give the impression of lifting it so as not to step on it. Going unnoticed by the millions of viewers watching the wedding of the century, the stain has still created a lot of boredom for Princess Diana who tries to cover the area on which the perfume has spread as she s' approach the altar. Launched in 1912, Some Flowers is an accord of tuberose, jasmine and rose.
