Of all the senses, none surely is so mysterious as that of smell . . . the nature of the emanations that stir it to activity is still unknown . . . its effects upon the psyche are both wide and deep, at once obvious and subtle." Dr. D. McKenzie from Study of Smells
When looking back into history, many agree that the Egyptians, during the Queen Sheba's rule [queen of Yemen and Etheopia], were the first to incorporate womens fragrance perfume into their culture. From the religious ceremonies involving the burning of incense to the embalming of the dead, perfume was an integral part of the Egyptian life.

As I stated before, secrecy is a key factor in the womens fragrance perfume industry. To this day intrigue and mystery still surrounds companies as they compete against each other, fiercely guarding the components behind their creations.
