THE HISTORY OF PERFUME
The use of perfumes dates back to time immemorial; the technique of distillation dates back at least 5,000 years. The first use of perfume was for religious purposes.
In ancient Egypt, precious ointments and refined balms were used for the care and beauty of the body and, above all, to elevate the spirit toward the transcendent. The practice of mummification employed scented oils that halted the body's normal putrefaction process. The ancient Egyptians were so well-versed in the olfactory system that they reproduced it in the Temple of Luxor.
The room used for the anointing of the pharaoh would correspond to the olfactory sensors of the anatomical structure of the nose.
In ancient Greece, Hippocrates recommended fumigations with aromatic herbs to mitigate the spread of epidemics that were frequent at that time.
Theophrastus, philosopher and botanist, in his treatise "On Odors," repeatedly affirmed the medicinal properties of perfumed ointments; their therapeutic efficacy was closely linked to the olfactory aspect.
The world of smells has accompanied man since his first appearance on earth. The world of smell is a fascinating and mysterious one. Poets and writers, from Bauderlaire to Huysmans, Wilde, and many others, have been seduced and bewitched by the ephemeral, almost magical power that emanates from a bottle.
