| Perfumed
calendars have been, for more than half a century, the
kind gift offered by barber shops to their customers.
Perfume manufacturers realized that it was a good way
to promote their perfumery items (perfumes, creams,
razor blades) so, every end of year, it was a match
among them to publish the best Perfumed Calendar of
the year. Designers and illustrators were inspired by
a news story or by historical facts, making every year
something different. |

|
|
| Among all, we should remember
the names of De Pero, Nanni, Grouo,
Campestrini, De Bellys and many toher famous
illustrators. |
|
|
|
| Perfume calendars were made to
fit in a common male wallet and they usually
have 16 pages with paintings or photos printed
on a thin cardboard. Obviously, along with
these illustrations, there is the real
calendar of that year. |
