The word perfume is derived from the Latin “per fumum”, which means “penetrating smoke”. The Old Testament mentions perfume, usually referring to the formation of a spice, which is consistent with the Latin definition. Egyptian history shows that essences and ointments are used for bathing and after bathing. They are usually stored in delicate containers, as some examples have been found in ancient Egyptian tombs.
In the Middle East and other parts of the Far East, as well as China, people have long learned to use the fragrance of spices to achieve their pursuit of beauty. In 1500 BC, the use of perfume has become more common. Cleopatra often used 15 different perfumes and oils to bathe, and even used perfume to soak her sails. The ancient Romans liked to apply perfume anywhere, horses, and even the mortar used to build walls.
In ancient Egypt, it was illegal not to wear perfume in public places. After the ancient Egyptians died, they wrapped their bodies with spices to make them last forever (dry mummies). Ancient Greek women also spilled perfume in religious ceremonies. Some people believe that the Persians discovered how to extract fragrance from flowers through distillation; the Arabs created a religious ritual for using perfume.
It was their use of exotic fragrances that established their important position in the perfume development industry for the next few centuries. Asians have a significant influence on the development of perfume use. They believe that perfume not only makes people more beautiful, but also helps people live longer. Later, with the fall of the Roman Empire, the development of perfume was divided into two different areas. On the one hand, the German priests invented the distillation technique; on the other hand, the kingdom of perfume, France, discovered the aromatic characteristics of the unique spices imported from the East. As a result, the European perfume craft began to enter a prosperous period.
