French Perfumery

The cradle of modern Western perfumery

French Perfumery

French perfumery originated in Grasse in the 14th century as a complement to leatherworking and became synonymous with global elegance from the 17th century onward. It combines mastery of raw materials (Grasse — the world's main center for jasmine, tuberose and centifolia rose) with the art of abstract composition and luxury marketing.
