Farina Gegenüber
Germany
Established by Jean-Marie Farina (1685-1766) in 1709 at Gegenüber den Julichs Platz, Cologne, Germany, and is today the world's oldest fragrance company; Farina named his fragrance Eau de Cologne in honour of his hometown Cologne. In doing so he defined the term Eau de Cologne as a synonym for toilet. Today (2012) the 8th generation of the Farina family still makes the original (of course reformulated) Eau de Cologne. The emblem of the company is a stylized red tulip ("Rote Marke")
After a persistent decline in the 20th century the house was sold to Roger & Gallet in 1975. Roger & Gallet itself had been founded by a member of the Farina family. The company was bought back by Johann Maria Farina and his brother in the 1990s and re-established as a niche house.
Note there are many pseudo-Farinas - the company has fought over 2000 court cases to protect its name. (information kindly supplied by Farina Gegenüber)
