Discover The Marvels Of The Top French Perfume Brands

By Celia Hall


If asked to mention a famous fragrances and moments associated therewith, both men and women alike would probably end up naming one of the top French perfume brands, such as Chanel No5, Christian Dior, Cartier or even Lancome. These are but to name a few of the top ten brands being sold worldwide today. Although these names are also iconic in the fashion industry, there is a certain air of wealth for anyone who uses one of these fragrances.

However the reality of what the original relevance of these tools was needed for does not leave a good impression. In ancient times bathing was not considered a necessity, as a result scent was used as a method of trying to overpower the stench of the unbathed masses, and this was true for the Greek and Roman civilizations. King Henry II wife, Catherine, introduced the use of fragrances in Europe.

Luckily, the overall use has changed into one with more finesse, with image branding becoming one of more sophistication. Purchasing an elite vial of French perfume can be likened to that of owning a lavishness sports motor vehicle, of which a vast majority can not partake in. For the favorable few who can afford the expense of being engulfed by the rich aroma, this is but a mere accessory to the perfect designer outfit.

In essence there is no difference between the French and the rest of the world population. Most people globally tend to habitually buy items that are familiar to them; however the assessment can be made that the women in France are educated on the enjoyment of high-quality local products at a younger age, becoming very loyal to specific brands as used by previous generations.

The fortitude of the liquid's construction can be found in a little city named Grasse. It is home to over sixty diverse fragrance manufacturers and two perfume museums. Here the skillful process of extracting the crucial natural oils from flower petals by way of distillation or maceration (whereby petals are saturated in liquid) is a strongly guarded secret.

This area is ideal for the growth of plants due to the Mediterranean environment. Jasmine, the foremost floral scents required is grown here in conjunction with other flowers such as, Roses and Myrtle, Lavender and Mimosa. These fragrances are all combined or used separately to produce individual scents. Due to this lengthy and unique method used each minute bottle is very expensive.

Worldwide today many companies have started mass production of synthetic fragrances, opening the market to the introduction of cheaper brands. However these chemically produced aromas cannot compete with the natural creme de la creme of the French perfume masters. France holds approximately 30% of sales of these items, the largest percentage in the world.

In this cut throat market of high end retail French perfume brands are coming out on top. Dominating a huge thirty percent of perfumes sold across the world. As far as innovative fashion trends go the French nations have and will be the one to watch for decades.
