cologne - History350 BC: The Ancient Greeks: As they ate, misted by a gentle spray of rare expensive cologne, dispensed by the fluttering wings of white doves. This extreme use of perfumes tells us just how obsessed the Greeks were with man’s relatively new ability to control fragrance. They had scents specifically created for each part of the body. Scents were used to enhance love making, increase the appetite, and sharpen the mind. cologne were even thought to cure illness (forerunners of aromatherapy?) they weakened the resistance of a recalcitrant lover. They even became outlawed at one point, so people could smell the real world and get some work done. Wealthy Greeks were buried with a small bottle of their favorite scent, while poor ones were often buried with a picture of such a bottle painted on the outside of their meager caskets.
The use of perfume then spread from Greece and Rome to the Islamic world. The Islamic community kept using cologne even after the spread of Christianity had led to the decline. It was not until the twelfth century and the development of the international perfumery trade that this decline was reversed.

The use of fragrances became so popular that the court of Louis XV became known as "the perfumed court". The popularity of perfumery rose with the birth of new blends and especially eau de colognes made from rosemary, neroli, bergamot and lemon. This pleasing fragrance was used in many ways: diluted in bath water, stirred with wine, eaten on a sugar lump. Perfumes and Colognes became mouthwashes and even enemas. The medium became more of the message as perfumes were sold and carried in stylized pear-shaped glass containers created by the Baccarat crystal factory in 1765.{end of promo text!!!}
