    There several forms of perfumes which still had some scent even after three thousand years. The most regularly and commonly used ingredients were frankincense (An aromatic gum resin obtained from various Arabian or East African trees; formerly valued for worship and for embalming and fumigation) and myrrh (Aromatic resin that is burned as incense and used in perfume), which could be mixed along with sesame, almond or olive oil. Gum resins like myrrh were added together for their fragrance.

    The preliminary variants of perfumes were unguents (semisolid preparation (usually containing a medicine) applied outwardly as a medication or for soothing an irritation). They were based on animal chubby which were heated with different types of ingredients of aromatic plant. When icy, they were also used as balm or shaped into the cones which were worn on the head, so that they melted gradually oiling the body and garments with perfumed grease.
