Perfumes have their own alluring scents. These pleasant smell came from a lot of things from after-rain woodlands an apple tree blossoming, a freshly sliced lemon or it can simply be from a bottle which went to a lot of processing stages to have the desired fragrance.
What cause these smells are from natural ingredients and mostly are oils. These oils can either can be transformed into solid or liquid perfume. However, most of the liquid perfumes are stacked into bottles, aerosol sprays and bath oils. These liquid fragrances are also added to soaps, shampoos, hand creams and other toiletries. Examples of solid fragrances are essence sticks and candles.
Most of the time, when we smell perfume, we think of flowers. However, some fragrances can smell like popcorn, breeze, bubble gum and many more. Most of the industries use these things to be able to cover some unpleasant odors.
What is the history of perfume?
The use of perfume dated thousands of years ago. The first perfumes were from woods and spices that were burned and used for religious purposes. The word "perfume" even came from two Latin words "per" which means through and "fume" which obviously means smoke.
Few years after that, they were able to realize that perfumes can also be used as a fragrance while bathing. Cleopatra was one of the popular icons in the history which uses perfume not only to herself but also to her things. The Greeks and the Romans were the first one to invent perfumes out of flower petals until the Persians invented a perfume from boiling these petals.
Perfume became a fashion statement in the continent of Europe. Not only women wear perfumes but also men which they put ornaments around their body during the olden times. Some prominent houses also have their own perfume room. It is similar to a wine or cellar room but what are stacked inside this room are perfumes. Today, a city in France is known to be the capital of perfumes because of their blossoming flowers.
Nowadays, perfumes are being advertised by famous personalities like One Direction:
