LUXURY FRAGRANCE & PERFUME BRANDS

For millennia humankind has sought to perfect the dark arts of the perfect fragrance, a scent to evoke, to attract, to mask. Alluring combinations of botanicals, florals, fruits, oils, woods and spices are conjured to create an essence that is a sum greater than its parts. Early society believed that the vapors emitted from natural resources, including our own bodies, had powerful effects and that, harnessed correctly, could influence the world around us. So it is that apothecaries and chemists would begin to experiment with recipes that would begin a global industry worth billions of dollars. Today, every designer eventually seeks to expand their brand and their artistic profile into the world of fragrances and perfumes, joining specialist perfume houses, some of which have honed their craft over hundreds of years. We look into the more famous, luxury brands in this category in more detail here.
