Ancient Origins of Parfum

No matter where you’re from, chances are that your ancestors used fragrance. People across ancient cultures used it in religious ceremonies to show devotion and in their daily lives to smell delicious. There’s some disagreement on exactly where it originated, though. Its earliest recorded use was in Egypt in 2000 BC, but some experts claim it was discovered in Mesopotamia or Arabia (which is still known today as the “Land of Perfumes”). The perfumes of these times were oil-based and made from plant ingredients, including flowers, woods, and resins, and animal ingredients, like musk. The ancient Egyptians loved their fragrance. They placed incense at the feet of mummies, believed that parfum was the sweat of the gods, and smeared fragrant oils on their kings. But they weren’t the only ones. Ancient Persian kings were often depicted with perfume bottles in hand and in ancient India, kings would be lightly showered in fragrant oils during royal ceremonies. In ancient Rome, fragrance was used for religious purposes, but also as part of relaxation rituals for the wealthy. Check out my product! https://www.qamsbynaqam.com/product-page/qam-s-fragrance-oils
