The history of French perfumes dates back to the reign of Louis XVI and Marie-Antoinette. Flowers, with their spellbinding scents, were one of Marie Antoinette\u2019s greatest passions. She enjoyed her retreat at the Petit Trianon, a royal residence in the middle of Versailles\u2019 gardens, offered to her by Louis XVI. Marie Antoinette rapidly made it her own and set about redecorating the exteriors with a multitude of flowers. The Queen of France had her own perfumer, named Jean-Louis Fargeon, who created a signature fragrance for her called Parfum du Trianon. This perfume was meant to remind her of the location wherever she went. Marie Antoinette loved concentrated perfumes with fragrances of rose, violet, jasmine and jonquil (also known as daffodil).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
At that time, men also wore perfumes with scents of violet and rose, and perfuming oneself was already part of the daily routine. These habits led to the development of the profession of perfume making. Today, the big names of the perfume industry are headquartered in Paris, and “perfumes from Paris<\/span><\/strong><\/a>” are particularly appreciated and held in high esteem worldwide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Created in 1828 by Pierre-Fran\u00e7ois Pascal Guerlain, The House of Guerlain is among the oldest in the world<\/strong>. The traditional olfactory signature for Guerlain is called the \u201cGuerlinade\u201d. The Guerlinade perfume blend is adjusted at every new perfume creation, and is therefore subject to slight mutations. Some Guerlinades hold more vanilla, less orris, or more rose<\/strong> but the recipe has been passed on from decade to decade.<\/p>\n\n\n\n “In the same way that you recognize the origin of a great wine, or the composer of a symphony, you perceive the Guerlain stamp.”<\/em><\/p>\nJean-Paul Guerlain <\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\nThe best luxury perfumes for men<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
