As far as I know when I researched it, it was the Egyptians The Egyptians were the first to incorporate perfume into their culture followed by the ancient Chinese, Israelites, Carthaginians, Arabs, Greeks, and Romans. The earliest use of perfume bottles is Egyptian and dates to around 1000 BC. Perfume is thousands of years old - the word "perfume" comes from the Latin per fume "through smoke".

One of the oldest uses of perfumes comes form the burning of incense and aromatic herbs used in religious services, often the aromatic gums, frankincense and myrrh, gathered from trees. Sounds like, we may have grew up during the same era (70's), because in high school, I also wore: Loves Baby Soft and Sweet Honesty from Avon:) I also wore, Charlie by Revlon, Chantilly and Jovans White Musk. Love's Baby Soft and Jovan's White Musk wear my favorites.

These scents bring back wonderful memories. Sources: http://inventors.about.com/library/inventors/blperfume.htm .

Maroc.It was in a fold out in the New York Times Magazine.

My daughter was napping, I rubbed in on my wrist and fell in love with the smell! I used it for many years, got tons of compliments and then it was DISCONTINUED! I bought 3 bottles that were still hanging around in stores and I really tried to find a new scent, but nothing was as good.
