LINKS BETWEEN PERFUMERY AND PHARMACY PART 2

Pharmacie 17eme

Perfumes considered as secret remedies in France from the end of the 17th century to the Germinal Law

The end of the 17th century marked a decisive turning point for therapy and already foreshadowed modern pharmacy. 


The dreams linked to alchemy disappeared, and experimentation took a growing place in scientific research.
We are witnessing the birth of chemistry. Botany developed with the same speed thanks to the facilities of communication which will allow many explorers to enrich the medical material of all the products brought back from the Americas and the Far East.
A new era began, an essentially artisanal orientation will succeed an industrial activity which will not slow down. 

Undoubtedly, this industrial development will be extremely slow in pharmacy and rare are the apothecaries who manufactured specialties. These products, prepared in advance by developers who jealously guarded the formulas, were really secret remedies that could in some cases be harmful to health.

It is important to point out, moreover, that they were most often sold without control. In his History of Pharmacy in France, Mr. Bouvet confirms that custodies were rarely established with apothecaries. Among the custodians noted at Versailles in 1789, we find: the musician of the Roy, a shoemaker, three grocers, a perfumer, a lemonade maker, two surgeons, a potter, various private individuals and exceptionally a few apothecaries.

However, it should not be believed that apothecaries had completely lost interest in beauty products and had been the victim of permanent and unfair competition. One of the most remarkable pharmacists of the second half of the 17th century and who ranks among the most eminent men of science of his time is Lemery, the inventor of Talc Oil for skin care. We find many beauty products in the prospectus of Feret de Dieppe, where we can find Honey Water from England, Spirituous Lavender Water, different essences, etc.
At the same time, Drapiez, at the end of the 18th century, sold Eau de Cologne, Virgin Milk, Opiate for Teeth and the Queen of Hungary Water.
Eau de la Reine de Hongrie
Secret remedies due to the lack of control on the one hand, and this constant collusion between perfumery and pharmacy on the other, included a large number of beauty products.
Some, not the least, Eau de Cologne have seen the long list of their therapeutic virtues dwindle over the years, without losing their place in pharmacies since this preparation was still devoted to the penultimate edition of the Codex. 


Not to mention all the beauty products, fruits of the fertile imagination of their authors, here are some of them that will provide a valuable argument to prove the important role played by perfumery in therapy. It will be necessary to wait for the Law of Germinal to witness the first serious attempt to delimit the boundaries of pharmacy.

If it is certain that the influence of cosmetic art on pharmacy does not date from the 18th century, it is beyond doubt that for the first time since the Roman Empire, the most favorable conditions were met around a brilliant court, where beauty played as important a role as health. It is not surprising to note the growing favor of products which offer themselves both as remedies and as beauty aids.
Marquise de Pompadour
In this documented extract on pharmacy and therapeutics in the 18th century, seen through the encyclopedic journal of Pierre Rousseau from Bouillon, he cites some of the best-selling products whose nature is a little more serious and scientific than that of many to encourage pharmacists to sell them.
He also remarks that most of these products were manufactured alongside more medical-looking specifics and that the pharmacists of the time themselves participated in the preparation of beauty panaceas.


The first mention is that of a work by M. Buchoz, doctor of medicine: “Toilette de Flore, ou Essai sur les Plantes et les Fleurs qui peuvent servir d'ornements aux Dames" (1771)
It contained the different ways of presenting essences, ointments, lipsticks, powders, make-up and scented waters.
Toilette de Flore

In July 1772, the recipe for an odoriferous powder, intended for fumigation, appeared.
​
These are used as an antiseptic, as much as an element of hygiene and perfumery, here is this recipe:

“Take the root called Calamus aromaticus cut into small pieces, 3 pound
“coarsely ground incense 1 pound 
“storax and rose leaves 1/2 pound
“of Smyrnaean scammony or myrrh 1 pound
“pounded common saltpetre 1 pound 1/2
“and sulfur 1/4 pound
“Mix it all together and you get 6 3/4 pounds of a scented powder”


In February 1777 we find in the Journal a recipe for Eau de Cologne  
“Take rectified wine spirit 24 pounds
“of the spirit of rosemary 6 pounds
“melissa water made up 4 1/2 pounds
“4 ounces bergamot essence
“neroli  3 gros
“cedrat essence 1/2 ounce
“lemon essence 4 gros 
“rosemary essence 4 gros
“We put all these drugs in a big bottle, we shake the mixture and the water is made. If you want it to be more delicate, you have to rectify it in a bain-marie, over a low heat, to extract all the liquor, to within two pints.”

The use of Eau de Cologne for internal use as well as for external use encourages us to make a somewhat more complete study of it; it seems that it was not until the Renaissance that alcohol was used as a vehicle for beauty products. Although alcohol was known to the Chinese and Arabs, the principles of distillation were mainly applied to aromatic distilled waters.

It is undoubtedly the Water of the Queen of Hungary which first enjoyed immense fame among alcohol-based scented waters.
It was considered a very active remedy for many diseases. In his history of drugs published in 1694, Pomet indicates that many specialists were engaged in its manufacture.


“They distilled eau-de-vie on which they sprinkled a little white oil of rosemary, and then put it in bottles of different sizes, sealed with their stamp, with an inscription molded in front of the bottle, which is usually titled: True Water of the Queen of Hungary, made by such, at such a place."
​

It was recommended to use it in epidemics of plague, but it was above all a great remedy against gout. It ends up being promoted to the rank of official remedy: it will be found in the Parisian Codex.
Napoleon Cologne Water bottle (Courtoy Collection)
Eau de Cologne: bottle created for Napoleon: one flat side bottle to be carried in his boots. Courtoy Collection Right: Collection of Eaux de Cologne. Courtoy Collection
Jean Marie Farina
Cologne Water Collection
Eaux de Cologne have an Italian origin. They have been prepared since the 16th century in convents with plants from the Aurantiaceae family. It was not until the middle of the 17th century that they were sold in Cologne by the Farina family.

The formula of the real Eau de Cologne would be that of Jean-Paul Féminis, of Domodosola, invented around 1650. He would have entrusted his formula to the Farina Brothers whom he had known in Cologne. They joined forces and exploited the recipe under the name of Eau Admirable de Cologne.

Originally Eau Admirable and its imitations were secret remedies, used as medicines for internal as well as external use. They were said to be specific for many diseases and, later, they became alcoholic preparations with various flavors, having stimulating and tonic antiseptic properties.

Without going into the details of the virtues of this EAU (water), we can point out that:
“It can be used internally and externally. If used internally, the dose is 50 to 60 drops in wine, fountain water, or broth or other suitable liquor.”

“If we wanted to detail all the evils to which this liquor are similar, and specific, it would be necessary to detail almost all the infirmities to which the human body is subject, because we can almost call it universal medicine.”
“It is a sovereign remedy against all diseases of the body or brain and a marvelous antidote against all sorts of venoms and an excellent preservative against the plague”….

The printed document ends with:
“There would be no end to it if we wanted to report all the evils that this incomparable WATER has the virtue of preventing, or chasing away. Suffice it to say, there are few against whom she does not wield her power with that admirable quality that she cannot cause the slightest injury or accident, not even to a child in the cradle.”

I don't want to describe all waters to you, but I can name the ones that could be found in pharmacists' books:
  • Eau Admirable de Cologne by the Rossi Brothers, 
  • Eau de Cologne by Sieur Geroville, 
  • True Inimitable Eau de Cologne by Durochereau rue Neuve St-Eustache 32 in Paris, 
  • Eau de Cologne by Vourloud, 
  • Eau Duchesne, a “medico-cosmetic, antispasmodic”. It is the pharmacist, Mette, 29, rue des Lombards, who prepares this water invented by Dr Duchesne. The leaflet indicates that it can be suitable for all diseases affecting the nervous system.

LINKS BETWEEN PERFUMERY AND PHARMACY - PART 1

Orgue à Pharmacy
 By Creezy Courtoy, IPF Founder and Chair, Perfume Historian and Anthropologist
 “It is universally recognized that the first seeds of the Pharmaceutical Art began to germinate on the soil of the Orient, in these lands fertile in plants with sweet scents and fragrant resins” ​PHILIPPE “Histoire des Apothicaires” 1853
In the West, the growing influence of the Church, preserving the Roman medical tradition could not provide the necessary elements for progress in the art of healing.
We had to wait for new ideas from the East to witness an upheaval in interior notions in the 11th century.
Arabian doctors influenced Pharmacy, botanical knowledge developed and aromatic substances from the East arrived in the West. Amber and musk in particular: the smoke of amber has long been used to prevent epileptic crisis.
At the same time, the use of the still allowed the preparation of essences of rosemary, cedar, bitter almonds...
Links between perfumery and pharmacy
Alambic Moyen Age
The science of the Moors of Spain and the recipes of their doctors were the basis of the famous School of Salerno which had an enormous influence in the Middle Ages.
Jean de Milan in 1066, brought together under the title of “Aphorisines” all the precepts of the School. Certain aromatic plants had, in his eyes, incredible properties. This is the case of fragrant sage which received the name of Orvale, because it was worth gold.
This meeting between East and West was to allow the pharmacy to free itself from medical tutelage, by gradually abandoning empirical practices, to form a particularly active and important corporation. However, we will have to wait several centuries before the art of healing also becomes a science.

It is important here to mention the role of Perfume in Medicine.
The use of fumigations for preventive or curative purposes.
MAUGUET, in his “Treatise on the Plague”, describes the carnival costume that those who approached the plague victims had to wear:
“It is made in Moroccan Leather from the Levant, the mask and eyes of crystal and a long nose filled with perfumes. The beak-shaped nose has only two holes, one on each side of the place of the natural nose openings, but it can be enough for breathing, and it is to carry with the air we breathe the impression of the drugs contained further in the beak”
Links between perfumery and pharmacy
Pierre de SORDES, de Figéac wrote a treatise which he dedicated to Cardinal de Sourdis, Archbishop of Aquitaine, saying "that one preserved oneself from infection by avoiding fatigue, anger, intemperance... by perfuming one's clothes with laurel, marjoram, sage, fennel, juniper wood, myrrh, frankincense, etc.

As for Michel de NOSTRE-DAME, famous doctor-perfumer of the Renaissance (better known under the name of Nostradamus) who invented a scented powder “of perfect beauty and excellence” during the epidemic of the plague of Aix, of 1546.  

Nostradamus
Here is the formula:
“Take sawdust of the greenest cypress, one ounce; 
  Of Florence iris, six ounces; 
  Of cloves, three drams; 
  Of calamus, three drams; 
  Of aloe wood, six drams; 
  Take three or four hundred ingrown red roses, all fresh picked before the   dew, 
  Pound the whole thing in a mortar;
  Make small pills and dry in the shade; 
  Add musk and amber according to your will and power”

I will not add the whole listing of remedies used here, but most of them used fragrances and olfaction.
In 1626 Jean PARÉ, apothecary of the Duchess of Lorraine, provided her with iris powder, rose oil, lavender soap...

THE FUTURE OF LUXURY IS HANDMADE

31/7/2022

Handmade
By Creezy Courtoy, Founder and Chair
Consumers are looking for original, handmade luxury products and an incredible number of makers, craftspeople, and artisans are growing rapidly but often are invisible because a lot of their activities are happening out of the public eye, online or at markets.
While the New Luxury Code is making its way encouraging companies, as an experiential marketing tool, to become more transparent and give consumers answers to an increasing number of questions; more and more people are looking for new jobs, giving a renewal to craftsmanship and returning to the ancient savoir-faire and artisans creating authentic luxury products. It is very interesting to see how social media is empowering craftsmanship and handmade products worldwide to respond to consumer's increasing demands for authentic luxury products. 
 
When consumers started understanding that Climate Change and Covid19 are changing the way we do business by encouraging buying local products, their perception of luxury changed too.
Artisans are closer to consumers and can follow the New Luxury Code more easily and therefore have an advantage over multinational companies who need to restructure themselves and completely modify their time consuming processes to create luxury handmade products.
 
More and more visionaries are confirming the same point of view.
Independent media are showing and following what consumers are looking for: luxury handmade products.
 
When we asked this question to 100 people:
“Would you pay more for a luxury handmade product instead of buying a luxury industrial product?”
The answers were 40% yes and 60% no.
60% would prefer industrial luxury products as they think they cannot afford to purchase expensive luxury handmade products.
Some of them replied “For us luxury is affording to pay our rent and our food.”
Some of them have no time to think they just want to buy famous brands and just want to buy brands. 
 
The 40% already experimented with handmade luxury products and do not find them more expensive than famous brand luxury products.
In fact, as artisans have smaller structures, they have fewer costs and their products are often less expensive than the ones of the famous brands.
 
 Some of them appreciate finding a human voice to reply to their questions.
“Handmade products have a person to communicate with.”
“We can ask and have an immediate reply. We then know where their products came from, who made them and most of the time there is a story behind their products, not just the picture of the movie star representing the product. If you buy a product created by the person in front of you, this person can give you all the answers you need”
​"Your work is going to fill a large part of your life, and the only way to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe is great work. And the only way to do great work is to love what you do." - Steve Jobs
 
The future of luxury is in the hands of men and women and handmade products, and it is important that parents will understand not to push their children in the opposite direction. Their hands and their creativity are worth more today than ever before.​
 
The future is handmade and in everybody's hands.
Everyone has skill, different perspectives and potential to re-discover.
Stop doing what you do, breathe, and think.
You have that power inside of you, you have this gift and there is something that belongs to you to be shared with this world.
 
You probably have a beautiful skill inside of you to be re-discovered and it is time for you to go deep inside of you to get to know you better. 
Remember what you said when you were a child, remember what you have done, what you have liked to do the best ...
Nothing is impossible..  
You need to go back and review this part of you and celebrate it. 
 
The Future is in your Hands and today the Future is Handmade 
Time is Now!
Take your own place in this world. 
Today, the Future of Luxury is Handmade.
The future is in their hands

TOUS AU PARFUM - A SUCCESS STORY IN PARIS

7/7/2022

0 Comments

 
Picture
For its first edition, The International Perfume Foundation's Perfume Celebration in Paris was a great success! 
We welcomed guests from China, Australia, India, Indonesia, USA, Canada, Saudi Arabia, Dubai, Algeria, UK, Germany, Italy and Spain.
 
Homages were given to Jean Kerleo, Master Perfumer of Patou and founder of the Osmotheque and to Pierre Dinand, Master Perfume Bottle Designer.
 
The conferences were really interesting!
Jean-Marie Martin-Hattemberg, Perfume Bottles and Cosmetics Expert and Appraiser showed us the most beautiful packaging from the 1920’s followed by a round table about the future of packaging and the need to create beautiful collectible packaging before the industry could sustainably recycle packaging.  “To be recycled, all parts (plastic, glass, metal) should be separated, and it is not the case now but waiting for packaging to change brands could create beautiful collectible packaging” said Creezy Courtoy, IPF Founder and Chair.
 
Regarding the supply chain:    “We will need 30 years to relocalize “ said Ivan Borrego Valverde, General Manager at Beauty Cluster, the largest Spanish cluster on cosmetics and perfumes. Veronique Coty, President of the François Coty Association explained how she hardly found the last artisans to create her "Spoturno" perfume bottle. It was very informative as she had all the processes filmed and even learned how to create frosted glass stoppers with this ancient method not involving any plastic material.
Her conclusion is we need urgently to give more work to preserve these artisans, and help them to transmit their heritages to the next generations before they totally disappear.
 
Chen Li Morisset, President Rose Road Group and Founder of CABIO, the China Organic Beauty Association, confirmed the fact that Chinese are looking for Natural Perfume Brands. “An IPF China bureau in Beijing could support Natural Perfume Brands entering the Chinese Market, we have already signed agreements with the IPF Teacher’s Academy for teaching their curriculum in China”, she said. 
Catherine Disdet, Blaise Mautin, Anne de Alexandris, Rachel Binder, Pascal Morabito, Françoise Rapp

Terry Johnson, IPF Vice Chairman and Chairman of the International SEOS (Sustainable Essential Oils Standards) Committee explained the increasing demand for natural perfumes in the USA and 2 years of Committee work creating the SEOS standards for certifying the whole essential oil supply chain.
Regarding the cohabitation of synthetic-natural, Françoise Rapp explained the difference between working with naturals and working with synthetics “Most synthetic perfumers coming to my Natural Perfumery course have never touched naturals and have no idea what the differences are. They think it is impossible to work with natural while all perfumers in the past were only using natural,” she said.
After sharing views all parties decided to work hand in hand towards a positive future for the industry: the major issue concerning all perfumers: perfume should be removed from the Cosmetic Directive as every year there are some restriction in the use of natural, these modifications in perfume formula are changing the smell of perfumes: consumers don’t recognise their perfumes and brands are spending fortune recomposing and changing all their packaging and labelling.
As perfume is not a cosmetic, we smell perfume, we don’t have to put perfume on the skin and perfumers should be free to use lavender, rose…  “The lobby at the EU Commission in favour of the big lab is putting all farmers in danger” said Pascal Morabito. Rachel Binder explained that American Perfumers have much more freedom than European Perfumers and the Natural Market is growing fast. “We need more than this day to continue this discussion and we will do many more meetings and conferences trying to get all actors of this industry involved in the protection of the perfume heritage and the freedom to use natural in Europe ” said Creezy Courtoy, IPF Founder and Chair)

​
Regarding the future of Selective Distribution, after a visit in the Metaverse, everyone explained the way they were distributing their perfumes. “We are handling our distribution ourselves” said Gilles Thevenin, owner House of Lubin. This is what more and more niche brands are doing and it is an issue for distributors who are losing part of the market. ​

After a networking lunch, Pierre Dinand signed his book and amazed everyone telling the Opium  story. Replying to the audience’s questions, we could have listened to him forever. He was with Jules, his grandson who is working with him and is in admiration for his grandfather “I will never stop honoring him and I hope to become one day as good as him,” he said.
 
Shaneela Rowah Al-Qamar, expert in Oriental Perfumes and Traditions talked about the importance of preserving oud for the GCC countries and what was done by the Zayed Foundation.
Magali Quenet, expert in sourcing raw material, shared a passion for oud fumigation.
“Education is the most important tool, and so we need to educate growers and harvesters which is part of our program at the Teacher’s Academy,” said Creezy Courtoy.  Patrick Worms, President EURAF the European Agroforestry Federation confirmed the importance of protecting farmers to preserve the heritage while educating them and teaching them good practices.
 
Hamdane Allalou, President PPAM Essential Oils Algeria and most recently Chairman IPF Algeria told us the importance of perfume and medicinal plants in the Algerian heritage and the plan to have IPF help development in the region for replanting, educating and certifying the raw material supply chain.
 
Andrej Babicky, Certified Natural Perfumer and expert in raw material extraction explained various ancient methods like enfleurage and maceration, his curriculum at the IPF Teacher’s Academy. This was very well documented and afterward Rachel Binder, Certified Natural Perfumer and Sommelier told us the secret of implementing perfumes with these methods. “There is an important link to make between the fruits you eat and the maceration you can make with them to be used afterwards in perfumes, my experience as a sommelier lead me to understand this,” she said.

An Olfactive Gala Dinner and the Ceremony of the New Luxury Awards followed the day’s activities. We had a fabulous chef David Piod and an amazing Perfumer Sommelier Rachel Binder who expressly came from Los Angeles.
They have presented an olfactory experience enchanting the public.
Other strong moments were the New luxury Awards and the La Laura Paris’s show with her group Colokatere. La Laura Paris is IPF’s Youth Ambassador.
