Chanel perfume history

Chanel is a Paris based brand that specializes in perfumes and has been into the perfume business since 1909. The Chanel perfume history states that the brand was established by Gabrielle ‘Coco’ Chanel. She was the chief designer of the company until 1971, which is when she passed away. Chanel started with a small shop where Chanel dealt in apparel and accessories. Chanel perfumes were launched much later in 1924. The perfumes produced by Chanel became such a roaring success that the profits earned from perfumes alone were more than the other products combined together.

The first perfumer to be employed in the Chanel perfume history was Ernest Beaux from 1920 to 1961. The first perfume to be launched by the Chanel brand was Chanel No. 5. This brand has proved to be a success even today. The first perfume that the Chanel brand launched was inspired by the childhood memories and the background of Gabrielle Chanel. All the smells that she had experienced and loved while growing up were imbibed in her first perfume. The popularity of the Chanel perfumes grew mainly because they were loved and recommended by everyone. Photos courtesy of www.acecoco.com and hewomanlife.info

It was during the California gold rush when a German immigrant Levi Strauss arrived in San Francisco planning to extend his brother’s business, that this took shape.  He was carrying rough canvas to use for tents and was told that he should have brought some strong pants with him instead by a prospector. It was then that Strauss fashioned some overalls and used a twilled cotton cloth from France called serge de Nimes which later came to be known as denims. This is how Levis jeans came to be.
