A brief history of perfume:

Perfume has a history of thousands of years, being mentioned in manuscripts from Cyprus, Ancient Egypt and Mesopotamia. The etymology of the word perfume comes from the Latin "per fumus" which means "through smoke". The oldest perfumes were discovered in Cyprus and are over 4,000 years old.

The purpose of using perfumes in ancient times was not to seduce, but to ward off evil spirits or to show admiration for the gods, often by perfuming animal sacrifices or other products.

The first evidence of a perfume industry dates back to ancient Greece, and it was the Greeks who started the fashion of using perfumes in ancient Rome. Greek perfumers used fragrances based on olive oil, lily, aniseed or even almond.

Perfume then underwent transformations over time, being adopted in turn by Queen Elizabeth of Hungary, who gave it its modern name, by the Sun King, who used it to cover up a lack of hygiene (courtiers did not use the bath very often due to fears of illness) or even by Napoleon who consumed about 2 litres of cologne weekly.

The best-selling perfume in history is Channel no 5, created in 1921. The name comes from the fact that the famous Coco Channel chose the 5th fragrance presented by master perfumer Ernest Beauxi.
