It was renowned in ancient civilisations across the world, being used for its symbolic and religious significance. In China it was associated with the flow of energy, and earned its place in mythology across many cultures. Popular in the Islamic world as a personal care fragrance, it spread across to Europe and was infamously used by the French King Louis XIV to wash his clothes in! It has gained popularity in modern perfumery in the luxury market.
