If we trace the past of perfume back to the primeval Egyptians, one learns that perfumed substances were the source of inspiration at the time. The idea for the creation of a fragrance originally came with the discovery of fire. It was noticed that some woods and herbs during combustion released aromatic scents. It was with this observation that they started to research around a fragrant scent to create the first perfume and perfumed cosmetics. Mainly the priests were responsible for this operation, so fragrant elements were burned in temples to honor the smoke rising up the gods. Later they went to on certain flowers and materials to distill to create to heavy scent of water. Yet in the middle Ages the manufacture of perfume was not welcome. The church protested against this, as it was the opinion of the sensual scents would encourage erotic immoral behavior. Over the time, the consistency of perfume began to improve and there arose light scents that were comfortable to wear. When they had finally perfected the production, they began increasingly to focus on the design of the bottle and creating an image for the perfume.
