Mauboussin 16 perfumes -The artisan jeweler M. Rocher




The artisan jeweler M. Rocher founds his jewelry shop 1827and it bloomed with the collaboration of Jean-Baptiste Noury, specialized in the manufacture of unique and exquisite jewelry from the very beginning. By the end of the 1870s their "artistic" jewelry pieces had been presented on trade fairs in Paris and Vienna, thus giving the brand a wider exposure and establishing the house of Mauboussin as one of the most exquisite jewelry houses. 
















In 1925 the house of Mauboussin was awarded an award during the "Exposition des Arts Décoratifs" for their ongoing efforts to integrate artistic influences into modern jewellery. By the early 1930s they had successfully exhibited their pieces dedicated to gemstones. One exhibition centered around emeralds, another was all about rubies while the third one was dedicated to diamonds.

 Those exhibitions cemented Mauboussin's reputation as one of the most exquisite jewelers.
During the war times of the 1940s gold was even more difficult to acquire and the jewelers made their pieces from other materials. By the mid 1950s Mauboussin had opened their first boutique in Paris in France that carried more affordable pieces of jewelry. 

Each new decade influenced the house's designs in different ways. While during the 1940s the designers had to be extremely creative to make jewelry without gold, the protests and the new anti-conformist views of the 1960s and the 1970s inspired the jewelers to design new shapes. In the 1980s the focus was on uniting the contrasts between light and shadow in beautiful and timeless jewelry pieces that expressed the individuality of the brand. A new era began when, in the same decade, the house of Mauboussin started to design and manufacture exquisite watches for women and men. It was the year 2000 that saw the launch of the houses first fragrance, the self-titled Mauboussin for women.

 This fragrance is the company's signature and has been loved by many women for more than a decade. New fragrant offerings, including a fragrance for men, have since then been presented by Mauboussin on a regular basis. In 2008 Mauboussin opened their first boutique in New York. The following year saw the company open two shops in Tokyo, Japan and Singapore in Indonesia.
Today Mauboussin is regarded as the French equivalent to Tiffany's and is one of the big five global jewellery brands.

Designer Mauboussin has 16 perfumes . The earliest edition was created in 2000 and the newest is from 2015. Mauboussin fragrances were made in collaboration with perfumers Christine Nagel, Benoist Lapouza, Delphine Lebeau, Alberto Morillas, Olivier Cresp, Nathalie Lorson, Violaine Collas and Delphine Lebeau-Krowiak.

World's Most Expensive Perfumes list up to 2015



Most Expensive Perfumes around  the World 


One of the common quality from all the perfumes fragrance’s, is their longevity. Many are extremely hard to find.  These reasons, plus the actual scents, contribute the high prices & enchantment.

 Globally, the flavors and fragrances form a $17.8-billion industry of which the top five players are Givaudan, International Flavors & Fragrances, Firmenich, Symrise and Quest International.
These five companies have a substantial presence in the Indian market, along with competition from Indian F&F houses like SH Kelkar, Sachee Aromatics and Oriental Flavors & Fragrances. The Indian F&F market is estimated at around $225 million.

"The word 'perfume' comes from the Latin per fume 'through smoke.' One of the oldest uses of perfumes was in the form the burning of incense and aromatic herbs used in religious services, often the aromatic gums, frankincense and myrrh, gathered from trees.

The Egyptians were the first clan to use perfume followed by the ancient Chinese, Hindus, Israelites, Carthaginians, Arabs, Greeks, and Romans.

The Egyptians invented glass and perfume bottles were one of the first common uses for glass.

The bottle is made of a material so difficult to work with that one of every three attempts breaks during the production process.

6. Chanel’s N°5 Parfum Grand Extrait [$4200.00/30 oz.]
 
The purest form available of the world’s best known perfume. Coco Chanel wanted a perfume no one could copy so perfume designer Ernest Beaux used the most expensive ingredients available at the time of its creation (1921) — jasmine from Grasse, Rose de Mai, and superior ylang-ylang among them. Its signature and defining feature is a 1% overdose of aliphatic aldehydes, the chemical that lends sparkle to fragrances.

Chanel, 1921  - 1987 Hall of Fame
 
Chanel N°5 is the first perfume in the floral-aldehyde group and the first by the quantity of aldehydes in its composition (another legend says that the Ernest Beaux's assistant overdosed the aldehydes in the composition by mistake). The top notes are composed of aldehydes, bergamot, lemon, neroli and ylang-ylang, the heart of jasmine, rose, lily of the valley and iris, while the base is created of vetiver, sandalwood, vanilla, amber and patchouli.

Ernest Beaux created two series of perfume samples numbered 1-5 and 20-24 and asked Coco Chanel to choose one of them. Madame Chanel chose the sample no. 5 and thus the perfume got its name. Superstitious, Chanel presented her new perfume on the fifth day of the fifth month of 1921.
Working on creation of this perfume, Ernest Beaux created and for the first time used the synthetic component – aldehydes. In his formula the aldehydes are accompanied by fragrances of rose and jasmine. The fragrance of aldehydes is pure and fresh, reminds of the odor of clean linen just brought in the house form the fresh frosty air. It is said that the famous creator drew his inspiration for creation of this fragrance from one of his visits to the Arctic Circle and the smell of water in midnight. The unique smell of frozen lakes and rivers fascinated him so much that he decided to replicate it in his creation.
