The perfumes of Arabia are a reminder of a glorious past. During the great empire of the Caliphs of Baghdad, when science and scholarship flourished, the control of the perfume trade was one of many mathematical and technical breakthroughs.
The Caliphs enjoyed perfume and encouraged its manufacture, creating ‘sweet smells’ for mosques and buildings with their esteemed fragrances. Books on perfumery and distillation by the great Arabic philosophers and scientists - al Kindi, around 800 AD; Rhazes, around 865 AD and Avicenna around 980 AD, show that for the first time in history Arabs made the mass production of perfume possible. These perfumes and secret techniques became great treasures of the world with Arabian parfumiers considered the best - unmatched for centuries, even by the French.
