3,200 Year-Old Mesopotamian Perfume Recreated - GreekReporter.com A 3,200-year-old Mesopotamian fragrance has been recreated from a formula left on an ancient clay tablet by a perfume maker of the time.

Roman glass unguentarium in the form of a dove, containing the remains of a balsam

Sealed since its manufacture, containing the remains of balsam and the liquid in which it was once suspended.

The vessel would be blown and filled through either the open tail or beak, which would then be reheated to seal it. Accessing the contents would require snapping off the beak or tail, which in this case was never done.

Dated to the 2nd half of the 1st c. CE.

Cleopatra’s perfume: We now know what the Egyptian queen smelled like Researchers recreated a perfume thought to have been worn by Cleopatra, which was produced in the Egyptian trading town of Mendes.

This is by far the most creamy, rich & luxurious soap I’ve created, yet. One need not wonder why this queen brought her enemies to their knees with just one catch of her scent.
