In this guide I have listed the various perfumes produced by Rimmel of London England.

Rimmel was established in 1834 by two Frenchmen, Eugene Rimmel and his father, who was a Lubin trained perfumer. They opened splendid shops in London and Paris. their main shop was at 96 Strand, London. All perfumes were produced in Grasse by the Rimmel family.

Imaginative products included perfumed jewelry, gloves, fans, cards, calendars, etc.  The company was very successful and in 1851 at the Great Exhibition , Rimmel's giant perfume fountain scented the entire hall.

Rimmel was appointed Royal Perfumer to the British, Spanish and French royal courts.

Eugene Rimmel published  The Book of Perfumes in 1864 and it was a best seller for many years. You can sometimes find copies on ebay.

Eugene died in 1887 and was succeeded by two sons. Despite financial setbacks, the company maintained their luxury image, producing some extraordinary presentations such as Art Moderne in 1925.
