Vintage Givaudan archive

In these photos from my personal collection of vintage documents (click for better quality) you can see the visionary approach of Givaudan in the 20's and 30's:
  • the selection of new and original ideas to inspire the perfumer, 
  • a constant relation to fashion and fashionable scents (the model in the picture from Chanel and there is a long story about Givaudan & couturiers perfumes before Roure entered the scene), 
  • the research for absolute olfactory purity (what became today Orpur), 
  • high artistic standards (fragrance was considered an art at Givaudan before WWII and this is completely forgotten), 
  • an original interpretation of nature and a constant research of unusual scents in nature (here I prepare something special to read), 
  • very modern standards in production and research
