In Conclusion

Content: 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. They also prized certain fragrances, although the Chinese utilized incense instead of perfumes that were applied to the body. Ancient texts claim that Israel’s King David scented his clothes with aloe and cassia, which is an aromatic bark similar to cinnamon. Famous Lovers of Perfume Throughout History
