About Fifty Scents
The History of Fifty Scents: The Legacy of Félix Salvador
Born in Paris in 1850, Félix Salvador developed a deep passion for perfumery from a young age. His remarkable talent for sharp, accurate scent identification allowed him to create any fragrance with just a single smell. By the age of 20, Félix was working in one of Paris’s most established perfume houses, where he became the unseen genius behind many of the era’s most famous designer perfumes. His avant-garde approach to fragrance made him a respected figure in the perfume world, although his contributions were often uncredited.
When World War I struck, it profoundly affected the perfume industry, and Félix's life was no exception. Despite this, his dedication to perfumery remained unshaken. He continued refining his technique, focusing on creating 50% high concentration perfumes—stronger, longer-lasting, and more powerful than what was available at the time. His method was a carefully guarded secret, passed down through the years, remaining a treasure known only to a select few.
Decades later, a businessman, inspired by Félix’s legacy, acquired the rights to his technique and vision. In the 21st century, the brand Fifty Scents was born—named after Félix Salvador’s initials. The business was founded with the mission of making the luxury of designer scents accessible to the masses. By focusing on high-concentration perfumes, the brand upheld Félix's core philosophy: creating fragrances that were not only long-lasting but also offered a stronger, more precise scent experience.
Today, Fifty Scents stands as a tribute to Félix Salvador's legacy, using the same techniques he perfected to produce powerful, high-concentration perfumes that leave a lasting impression. The brand continues to make luxurious scents accessible to people around the world, honoring the vision of a man whose passion for perfumery transcended time.
