Perfume Is As Old As God Knows What!
Woman throughout history have always been known to find ways to bring out there beauty. Perfume is one example of doing that. If you are interested in perfume and the reasons behind why woman wear perfumes then this article will be of interest. It is also great conversation material!
When cavemen were roaming this Earth, the ways of working were slightly different. Men would look good based on strength. Killing a bear, etc, were ways of showing that.
For woman the act of beautifying themselves has been known for centuries. In both cases the attraction between men and women came down to body chemistry which is what we now call pheromones. Pheromones are like an invisible link that makes us attracted to people.
Men and woman back then would not bathe, there was no need for perfume! However, as we became more civilized and realized the importance of bathing, we ultimately have much less pheromones on us during the day.
Luckily the change is better! The change to bathe allowed us to take away the sweaty stench! However, this change has meant a need for a better scent.
Gradually woman would start to rub themselves with leaves that were scented. This practice of working with scents continued and continues to this day, but today we call it perfume.
In the past people in the role of chemists would be involved in sourcing these essential oils, these oils were the predecessor of today’s perfumes. However, it could not stop there, there was a need for more convenience.
Let’s look at the word perfume and where it comes from. The root of the word perfume is ‘per fumum’ and comes from latin. We find that the skill of making perfume comes from Egypt, Mesopotamia, and other places.
The first bottled perfumes however came out in Europe in the late 1300′s. That is over 700 years ago! And was originally called ‘Hungarian Water’.
The French then came across perfume and the rest is history as they say. France has been big on perfume, and has been a central place that brought perfume into the mainstream.
Being a luxury item, perfume was originally only affordable by the rich. Gradually it changed where a point came where more and more people were wearing it.
Today we find many advancements. Though the principles of perfume making are the same. In essence the use of essential oils from nice plants and a alcohol base is still used to make perfume.
It is quite interesting seeing the changes. Many people don’t know the base ingredients and all perfume manufacturers keep the method secret, even though they may divulge the ingredients themselves.
Today perfume is a billion dollar industry, and stars are even known to bring out perfumes. For example Sarah Jessica Parker has a nice range of perfumes.

Taylor Swift $18.98 Three years ago, a 13-year old Taylor Swift set out to be a star and moved from Reading, Pennsylvania, to Nashville. By 14, she had a publishing deal, and by 15, a recording contract. In these days of Bianca Ryan (and before her, Tanya Tucker and LeAnn Rimes), many are called, but few are chosen. Swift, it appears, is one of the chosen ones. Her vocal talent is modest, though sweetly affecting, he… |

Sweet Dreams [VHS] $4.97 She wasn’t a beauty queen, but country-music star Patsy Cline’s voice was a thing of wonder: full-bodied, aching and dreamy at the same time. She came by the torchy emotions in her songs honestly, as shown in this biopic directed by Karel Reisz, rising from poor surroundings, literally forcing her talent on the Nashville establishment, all the while trying to survive an abusive marriage to a drink… |
