Perfume*

Perfumes are almost as traditional as holly and mistletoe. Early pagans burned fragrant woods and spices as offerings to the Gods; priests used perfumes in religious rites; at their coronation kings and emperors were anointed with fragrant oils; the Wise Men brought gifts of frankincense and myrrh to the Holy Infant. Today, perfumes rank high on milady's “want” list.
