French perfume is a sign of sophisticated elegance and sophistication. Not every woman can afford to buy a real French perfume, this pleasure is not cheap. In addition, real French perfumes are not sold in corridors and shops in the market. But, having once bought an original expensive fragrance and having experienced a slight dizziness from the heady sillage of perfume, you will want to plunge into it again and again.
History of French perfume
In the middle of the 17th century, wearing gloves became fashionable in France. But the ladies of the court did not like the pungent smell inherent in natural leather, then perfumed gloves were created by perfumers. This element of the secular ladies' costume created a real sensation and gave impetus to the creation of independent aroma products in the form of perfumes and colognes. In the 18th century, France was already thundering as the capital of world perfumery.
The center of perfume production today is the small French town of Grasse. Perfume makers draw inspiration from the fragrances of flowers in which this provincial corner literally drowns. For three centuries, their products have enjoyed crazy success and are constantly being replenished with new aromatic compositions that become world perfume brands. Nina Richi, Cristian Dior, Guerlain, L'Oreal, Givenchy, Lancome, Kenzo, Giorgio Armani, Yves Rocher are recognized symbols of elegance and sophistication.
How to choose an authentic French perfume
To distinguish perfume plagiarism from the original, you should first inspect the packaging. The cardboard packaging of real French perfumes is always very strong, made of thick cardboard. And the cellophane film, which is wrapped around the box, on the contrary, is very thin and tight to the package. The brand name, perfume names and all other information about the perfume must be in English. Special attention to the brand: even one changed letter in the name is already 100% fake. Also, the packaging will necessarily contain the inscription "made in France", but by no means "France" or "Paris-London-New York".
The producers of genuine French perfumes have taken care of the safety of the precious product. Therefore, if you shake the perfume box, there will be no rattling, the bottle is always tightly inserted into the case. A sign of bad taste - poor quality glass and a metal cork - this is also not about French perfumers. The bottle is smooth, without roughness, a glass cork with a strip of varnish for density, and the perfume itself is transparent, without haze and sediment - these are some more signs of a real French perfume.
It should also be remembered that only real French perfumes change the sharpness of the smell to a mild aroma after 15-20 minutes. after application, and only a high-quality perfume is able to please the owner even after taking water procedures.
