The art of making perfumes was born in Egypt. It was in France, around the fourteenth century, where flowers were grown to make the fragrances. This nation became, since then, the European center of design and trade in perfumery. Whereas in 18th century Europe perfume was used by the nobility, in the East, especially in Japan, using it constituted an art, called kōdō or art of incense, also practiced by the bourgeoisie, explains the page Mundobelleza .com. The perfume is one of the accessories of any woman. In fact, the French designer Coco Chanel said the following about the essences: "The perfume announces the arrival of a woman and lengthens her march". Likewise, he affirmed that "A woman without perfume was a woman without a future". Perhaps for these assertions, the most exquisite fragrances have been created. According to La Vanguardia, in 1929, Jean Patou, French fashion designer, decided to create one of the most expensive perfumes, containing 10,600 jasmine flowers and 28 dozen roses.
