Perfume is a Latin word which means "through smoke". Perfumes were first developed by Egyptians. So it's pretty old ha? It is stated in history that the famous Egyptian queen Cleopatra used gallons of perfumed oil to seduce Julius Ceaser. And the first known perfumer is a Mesopotamian chemist Taputti, Nowadays perfumers are called "Noses" and it is so hard to become a nose. In the first test to become a nose, a person has to be able to identify 250 different fragrances.
We, humans can distinguish 10,000 different odors, and women have a stronger sense of smell than men. Also every single person has a unique smell print just like our hand print. There are separate perfumes for men coz of the difference of PH levels in skins. Usually male skin is much more acidic than females. Also same scent can smell different on 2 individuals because of the skins own chemistry.
Most expensive perfume in the world is Clive Christian's Imperial majesh pricecd at 215,000 $ for 16.9 ounces or 500ml. It is served in a Baccarat crystal bottle with an 18 carat gold collar and 5 carat diamonds.
