Content: The ancient Chinese and medieval Europeans believed that fragrance purified the air and prevented diseases. Ancient doctors would even use perfumes medicinally to treat infections and even mental illness. Other early uses of perfume include anti-aging and beauty enhancement. Scented gloves were worn and perfumes were added to soaps to “cleanse and strengthen the body”. Perfume in the Modern World
