The beginning of the use of perfume can be traced back thousands of years to early Egypt. The first fragrance of incense in fact, which explains the true origin of the "perfume" he said. It is derived from the Latin word "to" and "prime", meaning "through" and "smoke". Similarly, burning resin and woody fragrance that has been achieved. And they are used for religious ceremonies.

The Egyptians were very spiritual people. That's why they take the art of perfume making so seriously - they thought that the gods smile on them if they feel good, and if they are surrounded by these scents. In fact, they took the idea with them after their death. Many perfume containers buried in mass graves. They are also used for embalming. Perfume much they are used, and the perfume, the more likely they will have to go to heaven.
For example, when the tomb of Tutankhamun was discovered there, the whole body, it's a pot of oil and perfume. When the grave was opened, there was a strong scent trail detected. And it was 3,300 years ago! Now that the strong aroma! Use Perfume starts to become more personal Over the years, the use of perfume is limited to priests who perform religious ceremonies, and also for the very wealthy.

This led to the practice of soaking fragrant wood and resins in water and oil, and rub the liquid all over his body. As this practice continues, the priests gave up their grip on the precious perfume, to give others the right to use it. In an effort to create a perfect society clean, the people are commanded to perfume themselves at least once a week.
The next logical step for this is for people to start using perfume in their bathrooms. The idea of luxury bath Greeks and Romans came to Egypt. They swim with enthusiasm.

This practice is widespread in the Roman baths, where there will be all kinds of perfume bottles and bottles in all shapes and sizes. The Romans bathe three times a day, so they need to keep a lot of hands. They even put perfume on dogs and horses. And their parties, they put scent wings and let them fly around the room, release the scent as they go. They also put perfume on their furniture.
