American perfumes have been in fashion for more than a decade, and the fragrances created by US perfumers are known to everyone and everyone, even in remote corners of the globe. Currently, it is North America that leads in the number of brands that develop perfumes and eau de toilette: while in France there are only about three hundred manufacturers, then in America there are more than four hundred.
How it all began
The most famous perfumes from the United States, pioneers in this field - "Elizabeth Arden", "Estee Lauder." The first brand released its fragrance back in 1936. It was a composition focused on the beautiful half of humanity. She saw the light under the name Blue Grass. However, at that time, French, Italian perfume houses were so strong that manufacturers in other countries could not even think about serious competition.
The situation has changed radically over the years, and two decades later the brand “Este Lauder” presented its first fragrance to customers. They were named Youth Dew and became the most popular women's fragrance in the world. This was largely due to the fact that the perfume was suitable not only for evening dresses, but also perfectly combined with a strict everyday look.
Fragrances of the stars
The sixties in the history of brands of American perfumes are closely associated with the names of stars. Since then, to this day, perfumes have been actively released, named after famous, popular actresses and singers. Every woman who wants it, wherever she is, can allow herself to feel Beyonce or Britney Spears, Jennifer Lopez or Celine Dion. Just buy the appropriate perfume.
According to experts, American perfumes do not have a clear division into upper, middle notes and base. Indeed, some spirits do not have such a feature, but there are as many exceptions to this rule as there are subordinates to it.
Perfume brands: Elizabeth Arden
The company has existed since 1910. The first products she made were from the eye makeup category, and over time, a Manhattan spa opened, soon becoming popular with the general public. Since the release of the first fragrance, to this day, the company has been paying a lot of attention to perfumes, at the same time producing various cosmetics. One of the most famous fragrances of American perfumes received the same name as the brand - "Elizabeth Arden." In addition to it, 22 more smells are produced, including those dedicated to famous actresses and singers.
One of the most popular series of this brand is called Elizabeth Arden Green Tea. These American perfumes with an interesting aroma are based on the freshness of green tea and are optimal for warm weather. The smell is calm, unobtrusive, therefore ideal for everyday life. Often, office ladies choose him.
Perfumes of American manufacturers: Estee Lauder
This brand also produces not only fragrances, but also cosmetics. The company started as a small home-based company, and the first cream was made in the kitchen. The popularity of the brand came when Este created her first perfume and broke the bottle with them when she came to the party. All those present learned about a new scent that was rapidly gaining popularity, and for this there was no need for words!
The list of the most famous female names of American perfumes, according to many, should begin with the fragrance "Este Lauder" Pleasures. As soon as the smell appeared on sale, it became a sales leader and maintains a high position to this day. This is a gentle, fresh composition, giving birth to images of a fresh breeze and a cloudless summer day. The peculiarity of the smell is pink pepper, which favorably sets off floral elements. Over time, the brand introduced to customers a version of Pleasures Delight, rich in gourmet-valued flavors. The line also contains a wonderful aroma of jasmine, shaded by tuberose - it is presented under the name Beautiful. For adventure lovers, the Adventurous version has been released.
Carolina herrera
This brand has existed since 1980, American perfumes under this name have been produced since 1991. Currently, the brand has about 45 smells. One of the most popular series was created as a chant of New York and was named 212. The female version is on sale under the name 212 Women. Its key notes are musky, citrus, and floral white. But the fragrance 212 Sexy, released as part of the same line, is already completely different - this is mischief, playfulness, and willingness to flirt, expressed through pink pepper, vanilla scent and gardenia notes.
Donna karan
Today, the American perfume of this brand is one of the sales leaders, and the best samples are presented in any self-respecting perfume store. I can’t even believe that initially Donna Karan was not going to be a businessman at all, because even during her studies she got married, soon a replenishment appeared in the family. Donna worked in the house of Anna Klein, and after the death, the owners asked her to finish work on the new collection. This was the starting point, and in 1992 a new brand was opened, which received the name of its owner.
The Donna Karan New York brand is nowadays known to every connoisseur of quality perfumes. A total of about 60 fragrance compositions have been created, highly valued around the world. The most famous perfumes Donna Karan New York are packed in an original bottle in the form of an apple, they are called Be Delicious. Over time, the company developed many similar compositions. The second series of bestsellers from Donna Karan - perfumes, packed in bottles depicting skyscrapers. They were created as the embodiment of life in a large city, filled with energy and vitality.
Escentric molecules
In 2005, the market saw an absolutely unimaginable American fragrance - these were perfumes, consisting of only one molecule, created artificially. The fragrance was introduced under the name Molecule 01. A second version from the same brand went on sale a few years later. It also contained only one smell, completely created artificially - an analogue of amber, synthesized in the laboratory.
Both smells chosen by this brand were used in the work of perfumers before, but they were components of complex compositions. The minimalist approach with their application was first used by the Escentric Molecules brand. It is even amazing how quickly a unique and eccentric novelty was able to conquer the world. The perfumery world was literally turned upside down, because unique molecules were practically imperceptible, but strongly influenced those around them - an effect similar to aphrodisiac. Having hardly appeared on sale, perfumes were almost immediately sold out.
Demeter
This brand has existed since 1996. The very first fragrance of the company was also designed in the spirit of minimalism, and the brand adheres to this idea to this day. The aromas produced by Demeter are naturalistic. Some of them smell like lobster, while others copy the skin. There are perfumes with the smell of pizza and earth, you can find unique perfumes that give the aroma of tomato seeds or even a laundry. Eccentric, unusual, mostly suitable for both men and women, Demeter perfumes became the embodiment of the originality of life of a modern resident of a big city, not afraid of his passions, tastes and whims.
