FRENCH PERFUME HISTORY

Although the French knew about perfume prior to the 17th century, French perfume history seems to have its official beginnings in the 16OO's, when perfumed gloves began gaining popularity throughout France. Leather, tanning and glove production had been centered in Grasse, a town near Cannes, France since the 13th century, so it made perfect sense that perfume makers come to the area for their collaborative efforts. It wasn't long, however, that the French perfume business soon surpassed the leather industry and Grasse achieved its place in French perfume history as "the perfume capital of the world."
