The Ancient Greeks and Romans mastered the use of fragrance to disguise body odor and to make them more attractive. In Greece, the natural oils from eucalyptus, lavender and musk were applied in scented baths and body scrubs. The Roman patricians used fragrant cloths or leather bags hung around their neck to control the smell of body odor and rotting food from disturbing them in places with high-density populations. In the Coliseum, there were mechanisms to feed floral and citrus scents throughout the stands.
For women, floral, oriental spice and earthy scents are the most popular on the market today. Men prefer their fragrance to combine musk, almond oil and spice. There is fierce competition in the perfume industry. Many major clothing designers and cosmetics manufacturers release a new scent every few years. They develop, create and market the product with a specific target audience in mind. For the younger consumers, they usually focus on fruity or sweet overtones with a soft powdery base.
