National Fragrance Day

National Fragrance Day is an American holiday dedicated to fragrances and perfumes. Each person has their own fragrance that they can enjoy indefinitely, which can be quite detached from perfumery itself: the smell of kebab roasting on coals, for example. Sometimes, pleasant scents can seem completely shocking: for example, quite a few people find the smell of car exhaust attractive. The list is very, very long! The holiday is celebrated annually on March 21.

History

Fragrances have been enjoyed since the ancient world. According to historians, this is when the first perfumes began to appear. There is no reliable information about the creation of National Fragrance Day. Regardless, this holiday is a great excuse to indulge in a couple of new fragrances that will perfectly complement your image and give you confidence.

The creator of perfume is considered to be Tapputi, who lived in Mesopotamia as early as the 2nd millennium B.C. Information about her was found on a stone tablet during archaeological excavations. There is also evidence of perfume production in Cyprus during the Bronze Age, carried out on an industrial scale.

For a long time, perfume was available only to the upper classes and was mainly used by women. It became very popular during the Middle Ages when hygiene was a problem, but smelling good was a necessity.
