Welcome!

Welcome to my unique perfume blog! Here, you'll find detailed, encyclopedic entries about perfumes and companies, complete with facts and photos for easy research. This site is not affiliated with any perfume companies; it's a reference source for collectors and enthusiasts who cherish classic fragrances. My goal is to highlight beloved, discontinued classics and show current brand owners the demand for their revival. Your input is invaluable! Please share why you liked a fragrance, describe its scent, the time period you wore it, any memorable occasions, or what it reminded you of. Did a relative wear it, or did you like the bottle design? Your stories might catch the attention of brand representatives. I regularly update posts with new information and corrections. Your contributions help keep my entries accurate and comprehensive. Please comment and share any additional information you have. Together, we can keep the legacy of classic perfumes alive!

Parfums Raphael

Parfums Raphael was founded in 1930 by Raphaël Lopez at 3 Avenue George V in Paris, a location synonymous with luxury and elegance. From the outset, the brand was committed to quality, ensuring that all products were meticulously bottled, packaged, and sealed at their factory in Colombes, France. This dedication to craftsmanship allowed Parfums Raphael to establish itself as a notable player in the competitive world of perfumery.

By 1960, the factory had begun to expand significantly, adding a new wing to accommodate the growing demand for their fragrances. This expansion reflected the increasing popularity of Parfums Raphael, as their perfumes began to gain recognition on an international scale. The new wing symbolized not only the success of the brand but also the promise of further innovation and creativity in fragrance development.
