March 21st is National Fragrance Day, a holiday celebrating the power of fragrances that complement our everyday styling, enhance our beauty and character, becoming a subtle yet expressive way to express ourselves. Let's immerse ourselves in the fascinating history of perfume and discover the magic of scents that have seduced and inspired us for centuries!
What is the history of Perfume Day?
Did you know that the first perfumes were used in prehistoric times? People at that time discovered that burning olive branches, among other things, produced a distinctive aroma. So, they began fumigating themselves with various aromas, including blends of resins, herbs, and flowers. Later, in ancient Egypt and Greece, perfumes were used in the form of oils and balms, which were applied in public baths.
Over the years, our ancestors discovered other fragrance carriers. Queen Elizabeth, who ruled Hungary, commissioned the preparation of a mixture based on water and alcohol, to which essential oils were added. Perfumes of the time were produced by alchemists who closely guarded their recipes. The first perfume factory was established only in the 19th century . It was in the 20th century that the most famous fragrances were created. The history of Perfume Day evolved over the years.
