Douglas first opened its doors in 1821 as a perfume and soap factory. This famous perfumery was founded in Germany by Scottish immigrant John Sharp Douglas. Douglas was located in the elegant and expensive shopping street, Neuer Wall 5. Mr. Douglas then began importing and selling many different kinds of brands and products in his stores. Many people at the time had not seen stores carry such products which is how Douglas Parfumerie amassed its worldwide popularity.
In 1910, two girls by the names of Maria and Anna created a perfume line with the Douglas name. Soon after the perfumes became a great success. This lead other perfume brands to open their own stores which created a splash in the world of beauty. During this time Douglas had become a successful market leader known all over Europe. Other perfumeries across the globe strived to compete with the Douglas Parfumerie name but to little success. In the present day, you are able to find a Douglas location worldwide.
