The history of fragrances
From ancient times to today, fragrances have always been part of Man's history. For a long time, they were only intended for deities and monarchs. Today, it is a fashion accessory, a seduction tool and much more. Let us travel back through the memorable times of the fragrance world.
Perfumed trails takes us away, and the journey leads us to the borders of civilization. The history of perfume is a reflection of humanity: a means of exchange, a protection against disease, a potion with divine virtues, a gallant message...in each epoch perfume reflects society, perceptibly communicating its sense of commerce and medicine, of the sacred and the sensual.
A world without perfume would be a world without history!

Olfactory groups
Each fragrance belongs to a specific olfactory category. The various groups may improve thanks to the creativity of top perfumers... an indecent stroll through the genealogy of fragrances.
A perfume creator composes a story around a central theme just as a writer would. That theme constitutes the main accord of the composition and will determine the family of the perfume, whereas, the secondary accords will indicate its subfamily. There are eight major families : Floral, Chypre, Oriental (masculine and feminine), Woody, Aromatic and Hesperide (masculine and feminine). Each one of those olfactive families being itself split into several subfamilies.
