Just as a side note, EDC today is not consumable and usually denotes a fragrance that contains less than 4% scented oils, (EDC is not very common these days).
Something that seemed to get just as extravagant as actual fragrances during 18th century was that of perfume bottle. Lavish designs made of glass popped up everywhere, and they were absolutely stunning – Most likely worth a small fortune today.
Just as 18th century did, 19th century again saw many changes to perfume industry. Still based heavily in France, chemistry was now being applied to fragrances and many new ones were appearing. Paris was now perfumery of world, and some of big names that are around today were created there.
So what has changed from then until now? A lot actually. Bottle designing is still big business, and a very important part of every fragrance. Florals and Leathers are now used in many different perfumes. And maybe most important of all, is that there are thousands upon thousands of new fragrances available.
