PERFUMES IN THE ANCIENT EAST Persia and the Middle East Persia was in the middle of a trade route through which essences and skincare were transported that constituted a very important part of the economy of the Old Persian Empire. Persian tea roses, myrrh, cedar wood, incense ... From that ancient route they have reached our days and persist in a multitude of current aromas and perfumes. In Europe the use of perfumes declined after the fall of the Roman Empire and the expansion of Christianity, which preached austerity. So perfumes became a symbol of wealth.

Likewise, distillation with alcohol, the basis of today's perfumery, was perfected. The Arabs spread this technique with perfumes throughout Europe through Spain. Also in China there was an important devotion to aromas and they worked large crops of flowers dedicated to pressing petals to create fragrances. With all these sources, who can doubt the importance of the Ancient East in the history of perfumes?

Do you love perfume? Are you interested in finding out more about its origins? Well, we're giving you the chance to find out about the history of perfume and who created it. The word "perfume" comes from the Latin "per fumus", meaning "through smoke". In this article, we're going to look at its origins and how it has become as we know it today. The origins of perfume Perfume has been around since prehistoric times. To begin with, it was used as a kind of air freshener or in religious ceremonies, until people started to use it on their skin. The oldest perfumes were discovered by archaeologists in Cyprus, where they found the first perfumery. It was over 4,000 years old. The first people to manufacture perfume for human use were the Egyptians. Oils, balsamic essential oils, ointments, resins dissolved in wine... A whole range of products that were used in medicine, cosmetics and in the process of embalming the dead. It was so important to them that they even had a God of perfume, Nefertem. Ancient Rome and Christianity It was when the Romans came along that people started to use fragrances as part of their personal hygiene, mainly women across all social classes. There are still many recipes in existence today, both Roman and Greek. However, with the rise of Christianity, people stopped using them as part of their daily routine, except for the elite. During the Middle Ages, a time when personal hygiene wasn't widely practiced, women would smother themselves in strong and long-lasting scents, like amber. The arrival of alchemy It was when alchemy and the Arab civilization came along that the experimentation and development of perfumes re-emerged. The discovery of alcohol as a good solvent made way for the creation of delicate and longer-lasting scents. The Arabs, who arrived first in Spain, spread perfume culture throughout Europe. Perfume in the East For the Chinese, smell is one of the most important senses, so essences and perfumes have always been important to them. “The Kama Sutra” even talks about applying perfume as being a compulsory part of it. In the 6th century, they had big plantations dedicated to the production of perfume. They cultivated flowers and then pressed the petals to extract the essence. Perfume today Nowadays, there a lots of types of perfumes and millions of ways to create them. With synthetic aromas, new smells that don't exist naturally can even be created. New techniques allow us to extract different essences, so to create perfumes that are identical. What better way to honour the creators of perfume than by taking a look at the range of perfumes that we offer and choosing the fragrance that best suits our personality?

Perfumes have accompanied humans for all of their history. Having looked at perfume in Egypt, today we’ll discover the history of perfumes in Ancient Greece, learning about how they used the fragrances and the influence they had on their manufacture and distribution in Europe. Perfumes in Greece In Greece there were many gods and each one had his own myth; his own link to the divine, and perfumes were included in the Greek myths. It was the inhabitants of Olympus who first used aromas to dress themselves up and who taught men and women the use of perfumes. They say that Aphrodite poked herself with the thorn of a rose, which was white and odourless. She stained it with her blood, turning it red, and Eros, captivated by its beauty, kissed it, thus giving the rose its intoxicating aroma. The development of perfume-making in Greece has its origins in Crete and other Greek colonies. The perfumers of those countries established themselves in the Greek cities, and the inhabitants were not slow to learn their art, becoming the great masters of making perfumes and ointments, and exporting them to Europe. It is believed that they were the first to create liquid perfumes, and they packaged them in precious bottles made of lead, silver, gold, or more commonly alabaster, each with its own decoration from its own culture. DIVAIN-167 | WOMAN The Greeks used a different fragrance for each part of the body. They used marjoram for the hair, palm oil for the chest, mint for the arms, thyme for the knees, oregano oil for the feet, etc. They perfumed themselves after bathing or before attending some special event, much like people today. Greek gymnasiums included a part dedicated to personal grooming, and there people used various fragrances to perfume themselves before leaving. They believed that the good aromas chased away evil spirits, in fact, they buried their dead well-perfumed and accompanied by a bottle of perfume. They also believed that perfumes had healing properties. The aromas most used by the Greeks were myrrh, mint, marjoram, thyme, oregano, myrtle, and almond blossom. Each and every one of these aromas had, of course, a divine origin. We leave you with some fragrances from our catalogue that contain these ingredients.

In ancient Egypt, much attention was given to one’s appearance. Men and women both, whose economic status permitted it, applied fragrant ointments to their skin. But what did perfume mean for this ancient civilization? How did they prepare these essences? What uses did they have? What aromas were the most-used? Let’s discover the history of perfume in ancient Egypt. For the Egyptians, something’s aroma had a lot to do with its divine essence, so when they applied a flower’s essence to their skin, they were putting something sacred on their skin; something which gave them a special power. Such was the Egyptians’ respect for perfumes that they had a god of perfumes called Nefertem, “guardian and protector of the makers of perfumes and oils, protector and god of the sacred lotus flower. Osiris is the body of the plants, and Nefertem is their soul.” How did the Egyptians prepare perfumes? The manner in which they prepared perfumes has no similarity to modern methods. In modern times distillation is used and perfumes are more watery, lighter in both texture and aroma. In ancient Egypt the aromatic substance was burned over a low fire along with oils or resins. In that way an oil was obtained that had the aroma of that plant or flower. Because of this process, these perfumes were greasy, more intense, lasted a long time and were able to be preserved remarkably well. What uses did perfume have? The use of perfume was somewhat elitist. The people who had a high level of buying power could use it on a daily basis. Women bathed in essences and applied aromatic oils to their skins repeatedly, day after day, to the point of eliminating any body odour. And we can’t forgot the aphrodisiac and erotic power that perfumes had for them. Since perfumes were considered divine, it was essential to arrive at a religious festival well-perfumed in order to draw the attention of the gods. In the images that we have of the time-period, we can see women with the lotus flower on their noses or with incense cones on their heads. Aromatic oils were also used in the mummification process and bottles of perfume have been found in many tombs. What were the most-used aromas? It appears that the most frequently-used was the perfume of the lotus flower. This flower was abundant in the Nile; a delicate flower with regenerative and erotic connotations that appears many times in the pictorial history of the Egyptians. DIVAIN perfumes that have the lotus flower as a principal ingredient: DIVAIN-058, DIVAIN-083 y DIVAIN-146. Do you want to know more? We invite you to read this book.

Although the origin of perfume is located in Ancient Egypt, it was the Arabs who knew how to perfect and develop new techniques for the manufacture of fragrances. So much so that they managed to have a monopoly on the aromas and spices trade. At divain. we go through the history of perfume and today we make a stop in the ancient civilization of Arabia to teach you all about Arabian perfumes and its influence on the rest of the world. History of perfume in Arabia Ancient South Arabia was very different from the desert it is today, lush and full of aromatic plants, it was an area known as the land of perfumes. In fact, in the holy book of Islam, the Qur'an, paradise is described as a scented place full of gardens and trees, great rivers and with a great smell of musk perfume. Already in the 10th century, it was Avicenna, a renowned Arab philosopher and doctor, who introduced rose water to the Muslim world, which was used to perfume or scent the rooms of the house. It was the key element for making aromas, so much so that it was considered a symbol of the purity and wisdom of Allah. The Arabs and alchemy in perfumes It was the Arabs who applied alchemy to the perfume industry. This new science aimed to achieve "the quintessence" of plants by extracting their essential oils through the technique of distillation. The Arabs took advantage of the development of alchemy in the face of the decline of the perfume industry in the West. It was they who perfected the alembic to distill the alcohol, which they used to obtain the base of the perfume. This was the rapid expansion, trade and popularity in the Middle Ages and a revolution in the way of making perfumes. The arrival of the Arabs in Spain The Crusades (1096-1291) was a key time for the introduction of perfumes in the West, since it was the soldiers who returned to Europe from their military campaigns who brought perfumes and essences unknown to their countries. With the arrival of the Arabs in Spain, the perfume traveled a new route: it reached France, a country that knew how to industrialize it. Furthermore, Granada and Seville became very important perfume centers comparable to Baghdad and Damascus. Such was the importance they attached to aromas that Al-Hakam I, the third Umayyad emir of Cordoba, ordered his servant to bring him musk and civet to perfume his beard. In case he was beheaded by the rebels, his head in the other world would stand out for his scent. Similarly, his successor Al-Hakam II had the pulpit of the Cordoba mosque built with aromatic woods such as ebony or sandalwood. Even after the expulsion of the Arabs from the peninsula, perfumers were the only privileged ones who were saved and were able to stay in Spain. If they had left, they would have taken with them the treasure of their secrets: the unequaled formulas to make their fragrances.

Marie Curie, born Maria Salomea Skłodowska on November 7, 1867, in Warsaw, Poland, is considered one of the most influential scientists in history. Her legacy has not only marked a milestone in scientific research but has also served as an inspiration for generations of women in science. Curie was a pioneer in the study of radioactivity, a field she herself coined, and her discoveries have had a lasting impact on the development of modern physics and chemistry. Her life was marked by an unwavering dedication to knowledge, often working under precarious conditions. After moving to Paris to study at the Sorbonne University, where she earned degrees in mathematics and physics, she began collaborating with Pierre Curie, a physicist who would become both her husband and research partner. Together, they carried out groundbreaking research on radioactive phenomena. The impact of Marie Curie on science and history Marie Curie's discoveries were revolutionary for her time. Alongside her husband, Pierre Curie, she discovered two chemical elements: polonium (named in honor of her native Poland) and radium. These findings not only deepened scientific understanding of radioactivity but also opened the door to new applications of this science, which would later play a crucial role in the development of medicine, particularly in cancer treatments. Throughout her career, Curie faced numerous challenges. She not only fought against the prejudices of a society that considered women incapable of excelling in scientific fields but also had to deal with the risks of working with radioactive materials, without the understanding we have today about the harmful effects of radiation. However, despite these challenges, Marie Curie achieved a series of remarkable milestones. She was the first woman to win a Nobel Prize, shared in 1903 with Pierre Curie and Henri Becquerel for their research on radioactivity. In 1911, she received a second Nobel Prize, this time in Chemistry, becoming the first person to receive two Nobel Prizes in different scientific disciplines. Marie Curie and her fight for recognition in a male-dominated world Marie Curie was not only an excellent scientist but also a fighter who defied the norms of her time. In a society dominated by men, where women had no access to higher education or prestigious academic positions, Curie stood out not only for her brilliant mind but also for her perseverance. After the death of her husband, Pierre, in 1906, Curie did not stop. She took on the position of professor at the Sorbonne, becoming the first woman to hold a chair at this institution, a monumental achievement for its time. Despite the criticism and personal difficulties, her dedication to scientific work never wavered. Curie remained steadfast in her goal of advancing research, making her a symbol of strength and determination. Marie Curie’s perfume: aromas from a scientific era While there are no specific records of what perfume Marie Curie wore, we can make an educated guess based on the tastes and the time period in which she lived. In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, perfumes were an important part of social and cultural life, especially in Paris, where Curie spent much of her life. Though Marie Curie dedicated most of her life to scientific work, we must remember that, in her time, educated women of high status also had a sense of fashion and elegance. Curie was not immune to these social codes; in fact, it is known that she enjoyed dressing in a sophisticated manner, albeit always with an air of modesty. This reflects in how she might have chosen her perfume: a fragrance that, though subtle, would make a presence and leave a lasting impression. Known for her relentless dedication to science and as an intellectual figure of great renown, she would likely not have chosen a trivial or flashy perfume. Her personal fragrance would have been discreet, elegant, and refined, but with the same strength as her character. Curie was not an ostentatious woman, but she possessed great dignity, and this perfume would reflect the balance between subtle elegance and inner strength. DIVAIN-080 Marie Curie’s tragic death: how radiation affected her life The legacy of Marie Curie is even more poignant when considering the price she paid for her dedication to the study of radioactivity. In an era where the harmful effects of radiation were unknown, Curie worked for years with radioactive materials without proper protection. As her research advanced, the dangers to her health increased. Marie Curie died on July 4, 1934, at the age of 66, from aplastic anemia, a disease associated with prolonged exposure to radiation. Her death serves as a tragic reminder of the inherent risks in early science and the bravery with which she faced her work despite the dangers. Marie Curie and her living legacy Today, Marie Curie remains a central figure in the history of science. Her work has left an indelible mark on medicine, especially in the field of radiotherapy, which has helped save countless lives. Radiation-based technologies continue to be essential in the diagnosis and treatment of cancer. Furthermore, her life has inspired generations of women scientists to pursue careers in male-dominated fields. Marie Curie's impact is not only measured by her prizes and discoveries but by her ability to overcome social and scientific barriers, making her an eternal figure in the fight for gender equality in science.
