| Russia and Paris. The Brocard family (the father of Henry, Atanas)
owned perfumery store at Elysian Fields, Paris and small factory - business
was too small and Atanas was not able to compete with larger businesses
at France. So he immigrated to US in order to start business there, it
was not successful and Atanas returned to France. His son Henry took over the business, he was successful as marketer - expanded into Russia and especially due to his wife, Sharlotte Reve, Belgian women who had been educated at Moscow and knew Russian traditions very well. They first produced soap in special forms for children with alphabetical letters printed on it, round soap etc. Expanded, at special technology show at Moscow they installed fountain operated with perfumes - the start of Brocard empire in 1864. By the end of XIX the century Brocard factory at Moscow was largest in Europe, they were the official supplier for Russian and Spanish courts. The Russian Revolution ended the Brocard business; moved to Paris, to 8 rue Nouville; launched a range of fragrances |
