Perfume

Perfume or parfum is a mixture of fragrant essential oils or aroma compounds, fixatives and solvents used to give the body, animals, food, objects, and living spaces "a pleasant scent."

Perfumes have been known to exist on Terra in some of the earliest civilizations, either through ancient texts or from archaeological digs. Modern perfumery began in the late 19th century CE with the commercial synthesis of aroma compounds such as vanillin or coumarin, which allowed for the composition of perfumes with smells previously unattainable solely from natural aromatics alone.

In Union society, perfume is considered a high lux item. It is also considered impolite or rude to use an excessive amount.
