Perfumed oils were applied to the skin for either cosmetic or medicinal purposes. During the Old and Middle Kingdoms, perfumes were reserved exclusively for religious rituals such as cleansing ceremonies. The use of perfume then spread to Greece, Rome, and the Islamic world. And it was the Islamic community that kept the use of perfumes since the spread of Christianity led to a decline in the use of perfume. With the fall of the Roman Empire, perfume's influence decreased. Perfume enjoyed huge success during the seventeenth century. Perfumed gloves became popular in France and in 1656; the guild of glove and perfume-makers was established. The use of perfume in France grew steadily. The court of Louis XV was even named 'the perfumed court' due to the scents, which were applied daily not only to the skin but also to clothing, fans and furniture.
