Global journey of scents: Experience the history of perfume!

The history of perfumery is a real adventure – full of fragrant magic and secrets, just like the intoxicating scents it has produced. Humanity long ago fell in love with seductive essences, long before we immersed ourselves in today's olfactory world. Imagine undertaking an incredible journey through time and experiencing the enticing fragrance compositions of all these eras!

The origins of perfumery

It began in the mystical days of antiquity when clever minds discovered that resins, flowers, and spices had the potential to create fascinating fragrant essences. The ancient Egyptians were absolute masters at incorporating scents into incense and ointments to enchant their rituals or enhance their cosmetic routines. The Romans also didn't hold back and started using fragrances not only for personal care but also to transform spaces.

Fragrance as a luxury in the Renaissance

The Renaissance elevated scents to a new level: suddenly, they became the ultimate luxury item! Florence and Venice transformed into real treasure chests of exotic essences, but it was the French who reached their peak in the 17th and 18th centuries. Paris developed into a fragrant-filled metropolis of perfection and refinement, a reputation the City of Love still maintains today.

Modern times and the influence of chemistry

With the 19th century came a scientific breakthrough in the form of new scent molecules. This chemical innovation opened the doors to an unprecedented range of fragrance compositions, allowing the average person access to wonderful aromas. Finally, everyone, not just the wealthy, could be enveloped in a cloud of enchanting perfume.

Current developments in perfumery

Today, the dazzling world of fragrances is characterized by individuality and sustainability. Unique room fragrance profiles are sought that reflect the inner self and are also produced through ecologically conscious and ethically justifiable processes. Room fragrances are also making a comeback, giving homes and apartments a personal touch.

A prime example of this is the Berlin Room Fragrance with its stylish blend of lemon, oak moss, and wood. It gives your home a fresh yet elegant atmosphere.

If you're in the mood for an adventurous scented journey, you should try the Amsterdam Reed Diffuser which impresses with its extraordinary blend of cannabis plant, cashmere wood, and flowers.
