Perfume is a BBC Four three-part documentary from 2011 which aims to investigate the behind-the-scenes of the multi-billion-dollar business that is the fragrance industry. In the first episode, titled "Something old, something new", British director Ian Denyer takes a look at two major but very different brands and compares their perfume-making process: French house Guerlain and American multinational Tommy Hilfiger of the Estée Lauder company. A juxtaposition of old and new, traditional and modern, classic and preppy.
