Created in 1853 by Pierre-François-Pascal Guerlain, Eau de Colonia Impériale was the first Eau de Colne by Guerlain. Created especially for Empress Eugénie, wife of Napoleon III, it earned its creator the title of "Perfumer to Her Majesty." The empress enjoyed exclusive use of this perfume until she gave her consent for its commercialization. The label bears the symbol of the empire with the coat of arms chosen by Napoleon: the eagle, the imperial crown, and the scepter. The bottle features a swarm of 69 bees, a symbol of the Napoleonic empire, and the emblem of the "Eaux" family of Guerlain. Upon request, it can essere personalized with hand plating or decorated with initials.
