THE HISTORY AND USE OF PERFUME IN HUMAN CIVILIZATION

Abstract

The fragrance is a liquid mixture of aromatic oils or aromatic compounds, fixatives and solvents, used to give the human body, objects or living space a pleasant smell. This mixture is directed directly at one of the senses, or the smell, but the implications of its action go beyond the simple act of detecting a certain miracle, changing states of mind, changing behaviors, motivating moods or giving pleasure. Originally perceived as a bond between mortal and divinity, then considered to be a cure and a protector against moths, perfumes are a symbol of civilization and their secrets gradually reveal as you penetrate into their universe. Based on this argument, it is not advisable to exaggerate quantitatively when used.
