This day is dedicated to celebrating fragrances and their importance in our lives. It has been around since the early 2000s, but its roots date back much further, to Ancient Egypt where perfumes were used for religious ceremonies. From there, different cultures around the world have developed their own unique scents and ways of using them. So join in on the celebration of fragrance and let your senses be delighted!
