What makes you go nearer to some
people and enjoy their proximity? What makes you move away from some people and
leave them with your no-proximity with them. It is the smell of the individual
that leaves an impression on you. You begin to judge his personality on the
basis of the smell he carries. Why not? Smell is an important part of the
personality one carries.
Smell arouses of kinds of feelings
within us. This is one particular feature of any creature on earth which helps
them connect to their past. If they have experienced such a smell in their
past, it will definitely help them connect back to the scene.
How Do You Define It?
People carry different body odours
with themselves. It is called their natural body odour. Some body odours smell
normal whereas some smell pungent and pathetic. In order to cover such smell, perfume was
invented.
The invention goes back to the
Egyptian period. The rich Egyptian eliteswere familiar with the use of
perfumes, the most used being lily. They used it in religious ceremonies to
burial preparations and even in daily wear. Later Persians used it to denote
their political status. Greeks and Romans perceived it as a form of art which
was evident by a perfume factory found in Cyprus. They used coriander, laurel,
myrtle, lavender, and rosemary to produce different kinds of perfumes.
The first commercial success of a perfume
began to happen in Paris in 1190 which soon blossomed into an industry.
