Science - Cosmetics, Beauty / histoire des parfumeurs
French term or phrase: Apothicaire
Texte sur l'histoire des parfumeurs. On ne peut pas dire "Apotheker", n'est ce pas, ce serait le sens moderne "pharmacien" et non l'apothicaire au sens ancien, l'ancêtre du pharmacien,, mais qui faisait plus que décocter les plantes pour soigner - il faisait aussi les couleurs, par exemple, etc. Si vous avez des idées, je sèche !

Heilkundiger


Explanation:
Vielleicht wäre man mit einem eher allgemeinen (aber auch historisch anmutenden) Begriff wie "Heilkundiger" auf der sicheren Seite?
