A fragrance is a blend of
extracts, alcohol and water, each perfume, cologne, or fragrance, is
characterized by the ratio of ingredients. A perfume has a different
concentration of extracts to an Eau de Toilette. Perfume has the highest
concentration, followed by Eau de Parfum and Esprit de Parfum. Though they are
less concentrated, the two latter fragrances leave an intense lingering
scent. Eau de Toilette is much lighter, with the least concentrated fragrance
being Eau de Cologne.
Fragrances and aromas spread to Europe as the Crusades made Europeans
even more aware of the art of perfumery which had existed for centuries prior in
the Middle East. By the Middle Ages trade in spices from the east became hugely
important in Western Europe; the same spices were used in perfumes, medicine and
in food. By 1656 the guild of glove and perfume-makers was established in
France. In Royal Court of Great Britain women would put fragranced sponges under
their clothes. By the 17th century Europe was virtually swept away by the fad of
perfumery. It was common for noble women to create their own fragrances
by experimenting with different aromas. Louis the14th of France was considering
restricting the use of perfumes because he felt jealous that his subjects loved
fragrances more than him. When the Americas were discovered so was a
perfume industry new to the Europeans. Balsam of Peru and American cedar,
sassafras and vanilla immediately found loyal consumers in Europe.
In the 19th Century alchemy gave way to chemistry and in 1868 the first
synthetic fragrances were created. After Word War 1 women gained more
independence both socially and financially. This enabled them to acquire a
disposable income part of which was set aside for perfumes and cosmetics. This
made the fragrance industry into a multi-billion dollar business. It included
much more than retail sales of fragrances. Related industries such as
chemical companies started to supply the chemicals from which fragrances
were made. Marketing and advertising were used to create and promote the image
of a fragrance. Modern scientists are now formulating smells that do not even
exist, smells that only exist in our brains, associated with events like sun
sets, ocean spray, fresh air...
Fragrances.
Fragrances
for Men
Fragrances for
Women. Affordable fragrances available at retail outlets from
department stores to grocery stores to discount drug stores to
discount warehouses to convenience stores. Fragrances have had the
same kind of journey as Perfumes, Colognes, and Cosmetics. From the days when
they were derived from the rarest and most expensive of substances by hand, to
the days where they are synthesized by chemists, and mass produced at reasonable
expense; the fragrance industry grows as product becomes easier to make, less
expensive, and more convenient to buy.
The revolution in the way consumers buy has reached all the way into cyberspace.
What we saw with the rise of the brick and mortar discount store where a
Sam’s Club takes a section from the market enjoyed by Macy’s is happening again.
The net and it’s cosmetics, fragrance, and perfume discount e-tailers
are taking market sections from Macy’s, and Sam’s Club alike.
You can look to us for both the quality of name brand Cosmetics, fragrance and perfume products, and the
economy of discount pricing. Personal service is never sacrificed along
the way.
