Perfume In The Ancient World
Perfumes are mentioned in the Bible referring to Three Wise Men carrying gifts of myrrh and frankincense to bestow upon the baby Jesus. The ancient Egyptian culture is rife with references to the use of scented oils and perfumes as evidenced in hieroglyphics and written papyrus records. It had many diverse uses. For religious rituals, they burned an incense called kypi, which was comprised of henna, myrrh, cinnamon and juniper. They also made aromatic body lotions from the liquid resulting from soaking aromatic wood, gum and resin in water and oil. Fragrance was an integral aspect of the embalming process. Singular deities became associated with specific scents and the word they used to mean perfume is translated as “fragrance of the gods.” Perfume And The Ancient Greeks, Romans And Early Europeans
