Portugal
Founded in Porto in 1887, Claus Porto is one of the oldest soap and perfume makers in the world, famous for its ornate art-deco packaging and richly scented, hand-wrapped bars. For over a century it has been a quiet Portuguese luxury export, beloved by design and fragrance obsessives.
Everything is still produced in Portugal using traditional methods — a perfect example of European craft that has outlasted a hundred years of mass-market competition.
