Arabian Perfume Oils
Perfume oils have a rich history dating back thousands of years, with origins in ancient civilisations. Early records show that the Egyptians, Mesopotamians and Indus Valley people used fragrant oils for religious rituals, medicine and personal adornment around 3,000 BC.
In ancient Greece and Rome, these oils became symbols of luxury and status. Trade routes expanded, bringing exotic spices, flowers and resins from places like Arabia and India, where perfumes were highly valued.
By the Middle Ages, perfume oils were further refined by Arab and Persian chemists, who developed techniques like steam distillation. These methods spread to Europe during the Renaissance, leading to the modern development of the fragrance industry.
Today, perfume oils remain popular among men for their concentration, longevity and connection to ancient perfumery traditions.
