oldest perfumes in the world
- Florida Water (1808)
Even in the 19th century, this perfume made history, especially in New York City, where this fragrance was developed. This classic brings together some of the most requested perfumery ingredients with sophistication: orange, clove, lemon and lavender. Thus, the sweet smell of this fragrance resembled the summer breeze in a hot place, hence the name arises from this analogy.
- Shalimar (1925)
In the 20th century, in Paris, one of the most important fragrances in the world was produced: Shalimar. This marvel was created with inspiration in the construction of the Taj Mahal and in the love story of the prince who built that monument to his beloved. Already in its composition, there is a touch of citrus fruits, vanilla and amber, a delicious and irresistible combination.
- Narcisse Noir (1911)
We also have this perfume that is made from white flowers and is a hit wherever it goes and among those who have tried it. In addition, Narcisse Noir is still sold today and there are those who only use this fragrance to go out. In other words, it is a perfume that is at the same time very classic and also very current and contemporary.
- Extra Vielli (1722)
Finally, there is Extra Vielli, which is already considered a classic, even more so because of the myths of its origin, which in this case refers to the invention of a medicine. The aroma was so pleasant that it quickly became a cologne among people in Paris. However, here in Brazil, it no longer has enough strength to boost sales.
