The history of perfume dates from antiquity. Perfumery, or the art of making perfumes, began in ancient Egypt but was developed and further refined by the Romans and the Arabs. Although perfume and perfumery also existed in East Asia, much of its fragrance was incense based. The oldest perfumery was discovered on the island of Cyprus. Knowledge of perfumery came to Europe as early as the 14th century partially due to Arabic influences and knowledge. But it was the Hungarians who ultimately introduced the first modern perfume. The art of perfumery prospered in Renaissance Italy, and in the 16th century, Italian refinements were taken to France.
During the Renaissance period, perfumes were used primarily by royalty and the wealthy to mask body odours resulting from the sanitary practices of the day. Perfume came into its own when Louis XV came to the throne in the 18th century. His court was called "le cour parfumee" (the perfumed court). Madame de Pompadour ordered generous supplies of perfume, and King Louis demanded a different fragrance for his apartment every day.
Perfume reached its peak in England during the reigns of Henry VIII and Queen Elizabeth I. All public places were scented during Queen Elizabeth's rule, as she could not tolerate bad smells. As with industry and the arts, perfume was to undergo profound change in the 19th century. During the 1960’s the use of incense and perfumes to fragrance a room began to increase. The development of alternative therapies and the use of oils, herbs etc to enhance treatments or to use in conjunction with massage increased people’s awareness of how scent affects their emotions and led to an increase in the purchase of scents to be used around the home.
Honeysuckles are arching shrubs or twining vines native to the Northern Hemisphere. There are about 180 species of honeysuckle, with by far the greatest diversity in China, where over 100 species occur; by comparison, Europe and North America have only about 20 native species each. Hummingbirds are attracted to these plants. Many of the species have sweetly-scented, bell-shaped flowers that produce a sweet, edible nectar. The fruit is a red, blue or black berry containing several seeds; in most species the berries are mildly poisonous. During Victorian times, teenage girls were forbidden to bring honeysuckle home because it was thought to induce erotic dreams.
