International Fragrance Day is celebrated annually on March 21st to promote the art and science of perfumery and encourage appreciation for fragrance in daily life. This day was officially established in 2018 as a project of The Fragrance Foundation in collaboration with brands and retailers.
People have been enjoying fragrances for thousands of years. The world’ first recorded chemist was Tapputi, a perfume maker mentioned on a stone tablet from the second millennium BCE in Mesopotamia. The oldest perfumery was discovered on the island of Cyprus and dated back to the Bronze Age. This perfumery covered an estimated surface area of over 4,000m², meaning that perfume manufacturing was industrial.
In the Book of Exodus, the Bible also describes a particular sacred
perfume consisting of liquid myrrh, fragrant cinnamon, fragrant cane, and
cassia. Today, France is widely considered the world centre of perfume and
cosmetic manufacture.
