Early perfumes were based on incense, not chemicals, so aromas were passed around through fumes. The Roman and Islamic cultures further refined the harvesting and manufacturing of perfumery processes to include other aromatic ingredients.<BR/><BR/>Thus, the ancient Islamic culture marked the history of modern perfumery with the introduction of spices and herbs. Fragrances and other exotic substances, such as Jasmine and Citruses, were adapted to be harvested in climates outside of their indigenous Asia.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37025305.post-41189218696273871262007-03-15T21:52:00.000-07:002007-03-15T21:52:00.000-07:00When we received our Extreme Makeover house, they ...When we received our Extreme Makeover house, they told us we would find surprises throughout the house. <BR/>I opened up Kiernan's closet and there was the biggest roll of velcro I have ever seen.<BR/>They used it throughout our house.<BR/>Long live the velcro.Mom26childrenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13218226918121229676noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37025305.post-40508276914949124492007-03-15T20:15:00.000-07:002007-03-15T20:15:00.000-07:00Sam hated the sound of velcro but he's ok now.
