This is 'an imaginative social anthropologist's view of the sacred.[which] brings together examples of rituals, beliefs and tabus from many societies and many religions to show how celebrations of the sacred allow man to know their origins, to understand the meaning of their societies and come to terms with death. Above all, it involves the symbolism of the sacred'.

Scent, or perfume as Shakespeare preferred to call it, has from the beginning of history been a symbol of luxury and wealth. It was the most highly prized of all possessions in the ancient world. Tutankhamun was buried with 400 litres of fragrant oils which to him would have been more valuable than all the other treasures entombed with him.
