Did you know Cyprus is home of the oldest perfume bottle in the world?

We all know that perfumes, eau de toilette, eau de parfum, colognes, etc — all types of modern perfume contain natural or artificial aromatic substances. Most commonly, they are liquid alcohol-based solutions (ethanol), mixtures of alcohol and water, as well as dipropylene glycol and other liquids, and oils (coconut, jojoba). Perfume is a key part of a range of cosmetics: soaps, gels, creams, shampoos...

Currently, custom has it that perfumes for men and women have different concentrations and vary in terms of the longevity and intensity of the scent. Women's perfumes more commonly contain Eau Dr Parfum (EdP) and Perfume extract. In men's, it's the opposite: here you'll find Eau de Cologne (EdC concentrations), which carry and express lighter scents more clearly.

Very recently, historians found evidence that confirms Cyprus as the birthplace of perfume.Those of a romantic persuasion,the poetic souls among us are sure that Cyprus is the home of perfume thanks to more than just its abundance of aromatic plants and particular climatic conditions. There's no doubt that the people of Cyprus were inspired by the presence of the goddess of love and beauty herself, Aphrodite and thus had the idea of treating and beautifying themselves with fine perfumes.
