DESCRIPTIONIn this guide I will introduce you to the world of the vintage perfumes by Ahmed Soliman & the Shimy Brothers Perfume Companies of Egypt.
These two competitors catered to the higher end of the tourist trade. Both Ahmed Soliman & the Shimy Brothers perfumes are very rare finds today, and command very high prices when offered at auction.
Ahmed Soliman El Mowardi (1906-1956) had a perfumery located at the Khan-Khalili Bazaar in Cairo, Egypt during the first half of the 20th century. Ahmed Soliman marketed himself as "Cairo's Perfume King". Though established in 1838, the 1920s were the height of his perfumes popularity. Ahmed Soliman's shop, the Palace of Perfumes also carried other items such as incense, kohl, ambar cigarettes, ambar paste and ambar gum.
Still today, nobody in Cairo has been able to surpass the quality of the perfumes that Ahmed sold in the store of the bazaar Khan the Khalili. There were imitators of Ahmed Soliman who tried to cash in on using the name Soliman for their own perfumes. Ahmed was fed up with this and a vintage advertisement states that:
"Do not be misled! Remember two words--Ahmed Soliman. Owing to the great number of designing merchants who vainly try to imitate my wares-an impossibility owing to their excellence- and furthermore use a name similar to mine in order to deceive I have registered in the Courts of Law to obviate such deception entirely. I therefore advise my clients to take great care that my FULL NAME is printed on each article that comes out of my store.
