Perfume, Eau de Cologne, Eau Fraiche and Eau de Toilette all have historical roots, some of which may not be well known. Some very famous people down through time have indulged in these fragrances. Here are some tales of some sweet-smelling famous notables down through the annals of time. Fragrance In The Ancient World
Perfume dates back to the ancient world, where ointments and balms were blended with essential oils known as unguents to provide scents for the elite scions of Egyptian society. Cleanliness was highly valued and ancient Egyptians bathed daily, cleansing themselves with fragrant oils, which were considered to be the sweat of the sun god, Ra. In ancient Rome, perfumes were often used as incense for religious ceremonies and in public areas to mask the putrid odors of city life. Pliny the Elder (23-79 AD) wrote of rose-scented water being sprinkled in theatres. The ancient Greeks believed that wearing a sweet-smelling fragrance was pleasing to the gods. Greek medical thinkers of the day were certain that fragrances improved health and vitality. The use of scents spread throughout the ancient world and to other cultures, such as the Iranians and Chinese.
