Ancient perfumes for centuries have brought forth memories
that the brain can process into emotions from long ago. Ancient
traders traveled long distances to acquire and trade "exotic
perfumes". Nature has provided us with abundant sources
of wonderful fragrances that once made into a perfume can invoke
deep feelings of joy, excitement or serenity. Each of us is stirred
by a variety of fragrances.
It can be a fresh green note of the forest after
a rain shower, the early morning scent of the earth or the ever-present
odors of beautiful flowers. Ancient perfumes tried to capture the
essence and beauty of the natural world as well as those of feelings
and thoughts in the perfumes created. Each perfume is a work of
art. Some blends try to mimic the naturally occurring fragrances
such as Rose, Jasmine, or Sandalwood,
while other compositions are abstract pieces of art; a creation
of the perfumer.
The knowledge on making these perfumes are handed
down through the generation within the perfumers family. These perfumes
and scents will be cherished and nourished by your family for years
to come.
