Most of us have our own favorite perfumes sitting on top of our dresser. Perfumes have evolved over the years.  As time passes by we have either changed to a new brand or perhaps still use the same brand.  Did you know that in ancient times, scents, fragrances, and aromas were used by early civilizations for religious rituals? In Ancient Egypt, Incense were believed to be the scent of the gods. After some careful refinement, perfumes have evolved to become an essential part of our everyday grooming. Perfumes from regency period France were often used to aid in covering up offensive body odor. King Louis XV so loved fragrances that he named each room in his court after the particular scent in which he  doused everyday. Starting from the 1930′s on, perfume companies developed better technology and were able to create much more complex scents. Take a look at these perfumes that were favored over the years:

• In the 1930′s,Joy by Jean Patou was considered one of the most expensive perfumes in the world. It was popular since the queens of England wore it.Try these fragrances if you enjoy smelling like a rose and feeling like a queen.

• Nina Ricci launched L’air du Temps in the 1940′s which is to this day still a very famous and world-renowned scent.

• 
• In the 60′s there was a wild and ostentatious mix array of perfumes, Cabochard became very popular among women during this time.

• In the 80′s it was all about the heavy florals and rich scents. Nocturnes by Caron was popular among women for a night time scent. Today is still popular!

• In the late 90′s the popular notes started from coffee, vanilla, fruits, and chocolates. Dolce & Gabanna is one of many perfumes that use these notes.

• Now, floral notes are back so try the Eau de Rochas by Rochas which is a top seller in the U.S.
