Fragrance Pioneer Tapputi – The First Perfumer and Her Legacy

The history of perfume does not begin with a brand, but with a woman: Tapputi. As early as the 2nd millennium BC, she worked as a royal perfumer in Mesopotamia – and is considered the first known fragrance creator in the world. Her legacy continues to influence the art of perfumery to this day.

The Art of Early Perfume Making

Tapputi worked with flowers, woods, resins, and oils – mastering techniques such as distillation, filtration, and maceration. She transformed natural raw materials into precious essences – with a sense of harmony, effect, and spiritual significance.

At that time, a fragrance was not just aesthetics, but also medicine, ritual, and protection – a means to refine body, mind, and space.

Fragrance Art Today – Inspired by History and Craft

Even today, this ancient pioneering spirit lives on – for example, at Acqua Alpes, where craftsmanship, emotion, and high-quality ingredients are at the heart of every fragrance creation.

Our fragrances stand for clarity, purity, and alpine elegance – they combine historical principles of the art of perfumery with modern fragrance architecture.

A Fragrance with History: 3770

The fragrance 3770 from the Acqua Alpes collection is a perfume that embodies this spirit:

• Cinnamon, pepper, and amber open spicy and multifaceted

• Noble oud and silver musk form a powerful, mystical base

3770 is a fragrance with a strong presence – deep, present, and multi-layered. A fragrance for people who, like Tapputi, forge new paths – with character, vision, and authenticity.

Conclusion

The history of perfume began with a woman who transformed the invisible into a sensual experience. With courage, knowledge, and intuition, Tapputi created a new form of expressive power.

Today, fragrances like those from Acqua Alpes remind us of this origin – they are quiet statements full of style, history, and sensuality.
