Eugène Rimmel (1820 – 1887) was a French-born British perfumer and businessman responsible for manufacturing and marketing some of the earliest commercially made cosmetics. ==Early life and career== Born in France, Rimmel moved with his family to London when his father accepted an invitation to manage a perfumery on Bond Street.〔(Infomat )〕 Eugène was apprenticed to his father. In 1834 he opened his own perfumery, the House of Rimmel. In the same year father and son produced their first cosmetic products. By the age of 24, Eugène Rimmel had become an immensely talented perfumer and cosmetics innovator. Considered by many beauty historians as a trail-blazer of the beauty and healthcare industries, Rimmel contributed greatly to the concept of hygiene and bathing. He was also among the first to develop scented pomades, mouth rinses and his signature "Toilet Vinegar". His most innovative invention may well be the first commercial non-toxic mascara, which became so popular that "rimmel" is to this day the word for "mascara" in several languages including French, Italian, Portuguese, Persian, Romanian, Spanish, Turkish and Arabic. Eugène Rimmel was also considered an exceptional marketer and produced detailed mail order catalogues and advertising programmes with English theatres.〔(All Business )〕 In 1865 he published ''The Book of Perfume'', which appeared in 1870 in a French translation (''Le Livre des Parfums'') with a preface by Alphonse Karr.〔(Bodleian Library online catalogue )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Eugène Rimmel」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
