One of the primary purposes of perfume has remained constant from ancient times to the present: to create appealing scents. In ancient Egypt, the value of cleanliness was paramount. In ancient Greece, wearing sweet-smelling fragrances was thought to please the gods. Furthermore, Greek medical practitioners of the time practiced an ancient form of aromatherapy, believing certain scents improved health and vitality.

Ancient Egyptians utilized papyrus to make various items, including paper, baskets, sandals, mats, ropes, blankets, tables, chairs, mattresses, medicines, perfumes, food, and clothing. Papyrus was truly a vital "gift of the Nile."
