Perfume Factory, 19th Century

Engraving showing the interior of a perfume manufactory at Nice owned and operated by Eugene Rimmel. Changing tastes in the 19th century and the development of modern chemistry laid the foundations of perfumery as we know it today. Alchemy gave way to chemistry and new fragrances were created. Under the post-revolutionary government, people once again dared to express a penchant for luxury goods, including perfume. Eugene Rimmel (1820-1887) was a French-born British perfumer and businessman responsible for manufacturing and marketing some of the earliest commercially made cosmetics. In 1834 he opened his own perfumery, the House of Rimmel. He is considered by beauty historians as a trailblazer of the beauty and healthcare industries. He was granted 10 Royal Warrants from heads of state all over Europe, including Queen Victoria, for his perfumes and fragranced products. With the headline The Prince of Perfumers, the New York Times printed his obituary.
