Fue in the Antiguo Egypt, in the form of resin vapors directed to the dioses, from which the perfume was born. But it was a long time coming to be reborn in the fields of flowers of Grasse, the modern world of perfumery.
The Grasse family was released during the recovery, thanks to the curtidurías. Any leather gloves that are very fashionable in the Court of Versalles will be unpleasant. The curtidores tuvieron begin the idea of emerging in these baths of rose, lavender or verbena, local cultivars, so that they are impregnated with almizcle, algalia or balsam. Due to the introduction in France of the ancient waters by Catalina de Medici, the perfumed leather gloves became very popular in the world. This is the fashion that King Luis Fue el comienzo de un apoca prospera para estos oficios, así como para la ciudad de Grasse, ahora famosa por sus cultivavos de roses, jazmines y nardos.
If the smells of flowers and animals are fashionable by Luis Era el momento de los aromas más frescos, florales y refinados. Aunque le siglo XVIII is affected by the economic crisis of the leather industry, the activity of the master perfumers and guanteros of Grasse flowered with perfumery. The cultivation of plants in Grasse has been growing since the decade of 1930, but it still gradually decays. Many of the parcels intended for the production of perfumes will be sold in favor of the most lucrative real estate market.
Associations with producers in the region led by Chanel in the 80s, and more recently by Dior, were revived with their brilliance. The name of Grasse in perfumery was declared Humanity Heritage by Unesco in 2018. In our last years, the city has seen the brands of luxury in a bus of authenticity.
