The great perfumers of the world

The “nose” is to the perfume what the painter is to the painting, who carefully chooses the color palette and the type of line to create his work of art. It is a figure that fuses artistic inspiration with the scientific precision of the trade .

Ernest Beaux

He would deserve to go down in history just for being the creator of surely the most mythical perfume in the history of perfumery, No. 5 by Chanel . Beaux was appointed a master perfumer in 1907. His first major creation as one of history's most famous perfumers was Bouquet de Napoleon , a fragrance created in 1912 to commemorate the centenary of the battle. There, and thanks to Duke Dmitri of Russia, Beaux met Coco Chanel. That meeting would change the history of perfumery.

Francois Coty

François Coty founded the Coty house in 1904 and, together with the Guerlain house , was largely responsible for perfumery taking a leap forward and abandoning the perfumery routines of the 19th century . Her main goal of him? Create good perfumes at an average price for the middle classes. Thanks to this policy, Coty achieved massive sales of perfumes such as Chypre, Eau de Coty or L'Aimant. It has been one of the best noses in the history of perfumery.

Pierre-François-Pascal Guerlain

He created a perfume for each client . At that time, personalized perfumes, soaps, ointments and other products were presented to the client. Currently, the Guerlain Institutes are very prestigious and carry out research in the area of ​​cosmetics and beauty.

Germaine Cellier

One of the first perfumers. Chemistry by profession. She is known as the creator of the first green perfume. She is also the creator of the most famous Nardo perfume . In 1948 she crafted a fragrance with Indian tuberose absolute, Tunisian orange blossom absolute, and French jasmine.
