Perfumes have been used by humans to improve their scent since early days. Perfume is made up of alcohol, water & perfume (fragrance) oil. Perfume comes from Latin word per fumum, which means "through smoke" (per means through, fumum means smoke). The making of perfumes is known as perfumery. Fragrances are classed-and priced-by their alcohol content. The highest proportion of scent is found in true 'perfume' - anywhere from 25 to 40% is pure scent.

History: The Egyptians were the first to incorporate perfume into their culture, and the first to place perfume into glass bottles. Further refining and development was done by Romans and Arabs. Up to some extent, Eastern Asia had also supported perfumes and perfumery. At that period no chemicals were used for perfumery. In the beginning, the fragrances were based on incense and essential oils of aromatic plants. History is evident that the modernization of perfumery began with the ancient Islamic culture. During that time the spices and herbs were used in perfumery. Steam distillation process was used to extract the fragrance from the aromatic flowers and plants.
