History and origin of Close 2
Little is public about Close 2. As far as we can find, the brand has no website of its own with a story, and the major perfume databases say nothing about it either. We found no founder, founding year or location. We would rather say so honestly than fill in the gaps.
The barcodes do reveal something. They start with 871, the country code for the Netherlands, and the company code that follows is the same as for Blue Dreams and BN Parfums. This suggests that the same party brings these brands to market. A barcode does not say where the perfumes are made.
