Documents the treasures and ancient arts of pharaonic Egypt, with many of the underlying principles of past aromatherapy techniques still striking a chord today. Exquisite containers are pictured alongside recipes for scents most prized by the elite. Also included are details of fragrant remedies and the origins of aromatherapy, as well as a chapter on the art of ancient Egyptian cosmetics. All the objects in this volume were photographed from private collections and museums in 11 cities around the world.
