The importance of fragrance in grooming
To understand the importance of fragrance in grooming, it is important to consider that the significance of using fragrances for grooming dates back to ancient times. It is not a modern-day invention.
In earlier times, fragrances were widely used predominantly by royalty. One can trace it back to ancient Egyptian high society where as per mythology, the god Nefertem was attributed as the lord of fragrance, depicted carrying water lilies which were the main component of ancient fragrances. Similarly, in ancient Persia, King Xerxes was depicted with Lily of the Valley Flowers, an important ingredient in fragrances. In ancient Rome, the cult of Aphrodite used fragrances to honour the goddess. The fragrances were a major part of the public baths. In ancient India, fragrances were part of temple rituals.

Come to the present times, fragrances signify beauty and power as they stimulate the mood and amplify the individual’s grace and charisma.
