The original Eau de Cologne is a spirit-citrus perfume launched in Cologne in 1709 by Giovanni Maria Farina (1685–1766), an Italian perfume maker from Santa Maria Maggiore Valle Vigezzo. In 1708, Farina wrote to his brother Jean Baptiste: "I have found a fragrance that reminds me of an Italian spring morning, of mountain daffodils and orange blossoms after the rain". He named his fragrance Eau de Cologne, in honour of his new hometown. Cologne was considered to have a therapeutic effect. In 1810, Napoleon issued a decree requiring all medical means composition to be revealed. To keep the secret formula of the “Cologne water”, there were added some aromatic constituents and the means became a cosmetic one.
