In ancient times, people used a lot of perfume. the Greeks used different parts of the body. everybody used perfume, both men and women. When guests came for a special dinner, the host gave them more perfume to put on themselves. The Romans did the same as the Greeks. But day did not just perfume themselves once a day. They perfumed themselves three time a day! They also perfume their dogs and horses. They perfume their flags and things around the house such as drapes and cushions. perfume was as important as food.
