History of French Perfumes

It is believed that the first French perfumes appeared in the 17th century. At that time, the perfumery business actively flourished only in the city of Grasse, located in the southeast of France. Since there were quite a lot of workshops that emitted an unpleasant odor, residents independently learned to create various aromatic mixtures, essences, and aromatic water from natural raw materials. Subsequently, this led to France taking a leading position among perfume manufacturers.
