The taking of a bath on Friday is compulsory for every male Muslim who has attained the age of puberty and (also) the cleaning of his teeth with Miswaak (type of twig used as a toothbrush), and the using of perfume if it is available. (Recorded in Sahih Bukhari). Beautiful Van Cleef & Arpels jewelry has adorned the bodies of royalty, prominent political figures, socialites and numerous actresses and entertainers. Dior has become known for fragrant landmarks. The wonderfully shareable, zingy-zesty Eau Sauvage (1966). The ground-breaking Poison (1985), one of the boldest fragrance innovations of the already-bold 80s. More recently, the hypnotising J’Adore, an opulent golden floral, which has evolved into many different concentrations ‘signed’ by François Demachy (see below). And lately, we’ve been able to bathe our senses in new interpretations of the classic Miss Dior, including the sparkling floral Miss Dior Blooming Bouquet (see above), which glorifies peony, mandarin, Damascus rose and white musk – ‘like a dress embroidered with a thousand flowers…’

First we will answer some popular perfume related questions, then take a journey from early civilisation all the way to the present day with a rather helpful history of perfume timeline. Where Does The Word ‘Perfume’ Come From? We look forward to the fragrances which will be created in this sun-filled space. All of which will tell someone more about you than your handwriting, we suspect… Equally excitingly, Dior re-established its links with the heartland of perfumery, Grasse, with Demachy moving to Les Fontaines Parfumées (see right). Another historic building restored from near-ruin, this was once a famous perfume factory where mimosa, rose, jasmine and more were distilled – and today, is home to Dior’s perfumery studio.

Van Cleef & Arpels is a luxury French jewelry, watch and perfume company. It was founded by Charles Arpels and his brother-in-law Alfred Van Cleef in 1896. The pair opened their first shop in prestigious Place Vendôme in 1906. They gained notoriety for their use of precious stones and their expertise and innovation in stone-setting techniques. The world's first recorded chemist is a woman named Tapputi, a perfume maker whose existence was recorded on a 1200 BCE Cuneiform tablet in Babylonian Mesopotamia. [1] She held a powerful role in the Mesopotamian government and religion, as the overseer of the Mesopotamian Royal Palace. She developed methods for scent extraction techniques that would lay the basis for perfume making. She recorded her techniques and methods and those were passed on, with her most groundbreaking technique in using solvents. [2] Furthermore Sassanian Emperors used rose water as perfume in their celebrations. The Van Cleef and Arpels empire expanded to multiple boutiques between 1909 and 1939. In 1942, the Arpels family emigrated to the United States and opened their first American boutique in New York. The company eventually expanded into Asia, and remained under the operation and management of family members until 1999, when it was acquired by Compagnie Financière Richemont S.A. Ladies of the day took great pride in creating delightful fragrances and they displayed their skill in mixing scents in a manor houses' still room.

Incredibly we have been using perfume in one guise or another for thousands of years. Fragrance has been used in religions ceremonies, medieval medicine, and to demonstrate ones wealth and power. A woman’s perfume tells me more about her than her handwriting.’ So said Christian Dior (b. 1905) one of the greatest-ever couturiers – and a man whose name is also synonymous, all over the world, with the glorious art of perfume.

As with industry and the arts, perfume underwent profound change in the 19th century. Changing tastes and the development of modern chemistry laid the foundations of modern perfumery as alchemy gave way to chemistry. To date, the oldest perfumery was discovered on the island of Cyprus. [5] Excavations in 2004-2005 under the initiative of an Italian archaeological team unearthed evidence of an enormous factory that existed 4,000 years ago during the Bronze Age. [6] This covered an estimated surface area of over 0.4 hectares (0.99 acres) indicating that perfume manufacturing was on an industrial scale. [7] The news of this discovery was reported extensively through the world press and many artifacts are already on display in Rome. [8]
