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. Also launched. In doing so he defined the term Eau de Cologne as a synonym for toilet. Launched Echt Kolnisch Wasser Doppelt, Eau de Cologne Original (c1790), Kölnisch Juchten c(1720), Kölnisch Wasser (1917), Russich Leder (1967). 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)
