These pefume loving people used almond & rose oil, frankincense & myrhh. cedar, mimosa & lily, nutmeg, sweet balsam, cassia, benzoin & labdanum in such diverse preparations as aphrodisiacs, medicines, cosmetics & incence. The art of perfumery in Ancient Egypt was so sophisticated that when they opened Tutankhamen's tomb in 1922 they discovered an ointment that was still fragrant.
Knowledge of Fragrants, developed in the sensual Nile was to inspire. In ancient Greece, athletes annointed their bodies with aromatic oils, and Romans refreshed themselves between courses at banquets with flower scented water. The Persians advanced the art of Perfumery to include exotic engredients which was to find its way into Western Europe at the time of the Crusades.
