Pleasant smells have long been associated not only with health,
wealth and good hygiene but also sound moral character; bad smells
indicate lack of cleanliness, ill health, poverty - and immorality.
Throughout history, people have applied scents to their bodies and
clothing. They have carried perfumed objects, worn scented
jewellery, sent scented letters, even exchanged scented coins.
Aromas have been used to perfume private houses and public spaces
from the ancient world to today. Gaining an understanding of how
scents were used allows us to get up close and personal to daily
life in any given period. Some uses of scent are particularly
revealing: the smell of the impressive quantities of blood spilt in
the Colosseum of Ancient Rome was masked by a sprinkler system
discharging saffron into the arena. Cosmus the perfumier's scented
pastilles designed to hide bad breath were famous enough to be
lauded by the poet Martial. Leather gloves in the Renaissance
period stank to high heaven and had to be perfumed. The first
designer perfume was created by the fashion designer Paul Poiret in
1920, who scented the hems of the dresses in his collection. The
'democratization' of perfume by the introduction of synthetic scent
is a fascinating story in itself. Susan Stewart's analysis is in
line with the very latest research into sensory history, tailored
to the general reader.
