Perfume is a mixture of fragrant oils and aroma and solvents used to give the human body, animals, objects, and living spaces a "pleasant" fragrance. The word perfume is used today derives from the Latin "per-fumum", meaning through smoke. Perfumery, or the art of making perfumes, began in ancient Mesopotamia and Egypt and was further refined by the Romans and Persians. Although perfume and perfumery also existed in India, much of its fragrances are incense based. The earliest distillation of Attar was mentioned in the Hindu Ayurvedic text Charaka Samhita. The Harshacharita, written in 7th century A.D. in Northern India mentions use of fragrant agarwood oil.
