In the generally accepted sense, France is considered the most developed country in the field of perfumery. How many of us have not heard rave reviews about the fragrance, backed up by the phrase “French perfume”? Indeed, this country is home to many famous perfume brands. However, good perfumes are not only made here. The aromas created in Italy and the United Arab Emirates received the same world fame . Although, the latter are known to a greater extent as the creators of expensive collections of perfume oils.
Perfumes in Italy
Since the XVI century, this temperamental country began the production of the first aromas. Venice (the main port of the country) was replete with spices, spices and oils, which were brought by merchants from other countries, as well as their own. It is this variety of available ingredients that marked the beginning of the creation of aromas.
Already in 1535 the first Italian perfume store was opened.
The next center was Florence. On the territory of the main cathedral of the city, many flowers were grown. They became the ingredients of a fragrance that became famous throughout Europe.
Modern perfumery
Today, Italy can boast of its own companies and collaborations with famous houses of other countries. There are many brands of Italian perfumes - women and men. Among them are such giants as Giorgio Armani, Ferragamo, Gucci, Moschino, Prada, Valentino, Bvlgari, Versace. One of them is Acqua di Parma, which recently reached the world level. The perfume house was created at the beginning of the 20th century. A small company could drown among the giants of perfumery, if not for three entrepreneurs who decided to withdraw it from a provincial city and show it to the world.
The most famous fragrance of Acqua di Parma is Colonia - a floral-citrus unisex with a bright lavender train. Most of the perfumes were created in the 2000s, and currently the collection has more than 50 fragrances.
The most sought after flavors
Despite the fact that the list of Italian perfume companies is replete with the largest houses, we can highlight some of them as the most used by the public.
The Giorgio Armani brand is one of the largest. Armani Code Eau de Toilette has gained fame as the brand's most famous Italian men's fragrance. This is due to the fact that this is the first oriental aroma from Armani.
The women's collection is famous for Acqua di Gioia perfumes , as well as a large line of aromas Si.
The Prada brand began the production of perfumes not so long ago, but copies from this fashion house quickly became favorites for many. Among women's fragrances, Prada Tendre and Ambre, which have become bestsellers among the collection, are worth highlighting. Men's fragrances of the Luna line are suitable for men of any kind of character due to the variety of ingredients and imagery of perfumes.
Perfumes from the Bvlgari brand also appeared relatively recently - in the 90s. The company's paradigm is the pursuit of excellence in everything. This explains the original approach to the selection of fragrance concepts. Among men's perfumes, the Acqua line stands out. An idea inspired by the beauty and brilliance of Italy, its seascapes and warmth. Perfumes are enclosed in original bottles in the form of a drop of water. The female half of the collection is famous for the fragrances of Bvlgari Pour Femme - a sensual and feminine composition, as well as the Omnia line, which captivates with bouquets of perfumes and the design of bottles.
Gucci perfume collection
This fashion house boasts a longer history, including perfumes. The first fragrance was introduced in 1974, when the success of the company was already recognized worldwide. Eau de Gucci N1 is a very bright floral fragrance with notes of hyacinth, heliotrope, geranium and rose, which are complemented by tart bergamot and rich wood base. Special attention was given to the Flora line, which consists of 6 different aromas, each of them is an ode to a certain flower. So, this included violet, magnolia, gardenia, peony and tuberose.
Speaking of men's fragrances, one cannot but mention the fragrances of the Pour Homme collection, which are distinguished by their non-triviality and diversity.
The importance of Italian perfumes does not require evidence or confirmation. This is a special world of aromas, which combines the best ideas and concepts.
