The perfume used by Cleopatra belongs to the "Warm Spicy" family.
(Sensual cinematic version of history shorts.)

They were able to recreate the perfume that Cleopatra is believed to have worn.
Analysis of the residue found in ancient perfume containers revealed that the ingredients would have required expensive trade.
Cleopatra was the only ultra-wealthy person to have existed at that time.

The four ingredients were characterized as follows
Olive oil was used for its strong aroma, cinnamon for its warmth and spiciness, cloves for its sweetness and tang, and myrrh for its seductive musky scent.

She used these scents wisely to suit the high society she desired. Even kings like Julius Caesar.
