“…According to Homer, the Olympian gods taught people the secrets of perfume making and use, and it appeared in many scenes of Greek mythology (Gadea, Vatca, & Vatca, 2017). Second, perfume was essential to ensure the rebirth of the deceased and a successful afterlife for him/her (Byl, 2012), therefore perfumes were used in the mummification process as well, with sachets often placed around the neck of the deceased person (Northrup, Bentley, Jr, Manning, Pomeranz, & Topik, 2004). Third, in private life, the ancient Egyptians used perfumes on their hair and bodies (Butler, 2000), and in ritual and celebratory situations, religious sacraments, marriage, funerary ceremonies and festive dinners.…”
