The Phebo Story
Phebo was founded in 1924 in Belém, in the Brazilian Amazon, by a Portuguese chemist looking to create perfumed soap from local botanicals. The brand's flagship Odor de Rosas (a rose-scented bar soap in a distinctive black-and-gold wrapper) became one of the most iconic Brazilian beauty products of the 20th century. The brand was acquired by Granado in 2004 and has since expanded its catalog into hand creams, body washes, eau de toilette, and skincare — all retaining the Phebo heritage-fragrance identity.
