Do you know that perfume is the most popular type of cosmetics? It is used by both men and women to smell good.
The word “perfume” comes from the Latin word “per fumum” which means “through smoke.” It was originally created as a way to mask unpleasant odors. Perfumes are made from natural oils and essences which can be extracted from flowers, leaves, roots or other sources.
