Perfumes are the feelings of flowers.
The word Perfume has so many different connotations for each of us. Effectively combining aromatic oils from herbs, flowers and spices is a creative art. Throughout history we can find references to aromatics being used to perfume whether as incense or as an aromatic substance to be applied to the skin. Aromatic substances have long been used to aid with prayer and healing, as well as for adornment and embalming.
