Welcome to the world of
perfumes - wonderful magic drops placed in fancy bottles
Each
perfume is different and tells a different story. We use them daily, to
emphasize our femininity or masculinity, leaving a trail as we pass by. We just
can’t do without them. Everyone has its own favourite perfume, and it depends
on the taste and how much money you can afford to spend, what kind of perfume you are going to buy.
Perfumes have been used even in The Ancient Egypt, and the first perfumes date back
to 4000 years B.C.
Would you like to know how many flowers are needed to produce a 20ml perfume?
Even 1,000 jasmine flowers are needed for one of the most expensive perfumes Chanel No.5. These flowers are harvested exclusively in the town of Grasse Cote d'Azur. They have been grown by the Mill family for more than five decades.
‘It is the most expensive jasmine in the world, it has a sweet fragrance, and it is softer and less aggressive than the exotic jasmine. The perfume would be completely different if the flowers were grown in another location’ said Joseph Mill for the “Independent”.
The flowers are picked by hand and the harvesting lasts for 3 months engaging 70 people. 8,000 rows of jasmine need to be harvested for only 1kg of jasmine flower petals. This type of jasmine is 20 to 30 times more expensive than the jasmine in Europe or in India.
,,The perfume is the unseen, unforgettable, ultimate fashion accessory that announces your arrival and prolongs your departure ”. – Coco Chanel
