Aromatic oils & essences were developed by the Egyptians 5,000 years ago. These pefume loving people used almond & rose oil, frankincense & myrhh. cedar, mimosa & lily, nutmeg, sweet balsam, cassia, benzoin & labdanum in such diverse preparations as aphrodisiacs, medicines, cosmetics & incence. The art of perfumery in Ancient Egypt was so sophisticated that when they opened Tutankhamen's tomb in 1922 they discovered an ointment that was still fragrant.
In ancient Greece, athletes annointed their bodies with aromatic oils.Romans refreshed themselves between courses at banquets with flower scented water. The Persians advanced the art of Perfumery to include exotic engredients finding their way into Western Europe at the time of the Crusades.
The early 20 Century witnessed the introduction of signature perfumes. Ernest Beaux created Chanel No. 5 for Coco Chanel in 1921. One of the most recognised fragrances, with floral top note of ylang-ylang and neroli. Blends of jasmine and rose dominate the heart notes, all above a woody base of sandalwood and vetiver. Chanel believed women should wear perfume wherever they hoped to be kissed.
The post war era and liberation of women , witnessed the distribution of perfumes on mass. Women were no longer satisfied with the one 'status signature' perfume. Perfume became, an expression of women's many ever changing moods, life styles and personalities. At FM, our affordable prices allow men and women to share their perfume styles with every occassion and mood. Why limit yourself to just one?
