Rimmel Perfume Fountain, Crystal Palace, 1851

A fountain of perfumes, designed by Rimmel, for the Pavilion entrance to the Universal Exhibition in the Crystal Palace, London, 1851. Eugène 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 many beauty historians as a trailblazer of the beauty and healthcare industries, and contributed greatly to the concept of hygiene and bathing. He was among the first to develop scented pomades, mouth rinses and his signature "Toilet Vinegar". He was also considered an exceptional marketer and produced detailed mail order catalogues and advertising programs with English theaters. 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 on March 15, 1887.
