Description: Perfume came a long way before Chanel N°5. These days, many people dab on a touch of perfume or cologne every morning, but perfume in the past was a luxury item associated with deities. Egyptians even called perfume the sweat of the sun god, and Romans believed perfume connected them to the divine. In truth, however, perfume history isn't all roses. #PerfumeHistory #Cosmetics #WeirdHistory
