History of Perfume

The word perfume was derived from the Latin word “per fumum”. This word literally means “through smoke”. Perfumery or the art of making perfumes began in ancient Egypt and Mesopotamia. This art was further refined by the Persians as well as the Romans. Perfumery as well as perfume existed in India. However, the scents or the fragrances here are incense based and are not oil or alcohol based.

The earliest known chemist who was recorded in history was named Tapputi. This particular woman was an ancient perfume maker who was mentioned in a cuneiform tablet that dates back from the second millennium BC in Mesopotamia. It was mentioned that she distilled flowers, calamus, oil, and other aromatics and filtered them. She did this process several times until she had only the purest oil that produces the scent.

Archeologists today have found what is believed to be the oldest perfumes in the world in Cyprus. Along with the perfume, stills, funnels, mixing bowls as well as perfume bottles were found as well in an ancient 4,000 square meter factory.

It has been found that during the ancient times, people used herbs and spices, such as myrtle, coriander, conifer resin, almond, and bergamot to produce perfume. However, there is evidence that flowers were used as well.

The Book of the Chemistry of Perfume and Distillations were found. This was written by an Arabian chemist named Al-Kindi during the 9th century. This particular book contained more than a hundred recipes for fragrant oils, aromatic waters, salves as well as substitutes or imitations of costly drugs. In this book, you will find 107 methods and recipes for making perfume. Today, the perfume making equipments, such as the alembic, still bears its Arabic name.
