The Allure of Scent and Romance by J. L. Regen

Cleopatra knew how to make an entrance. As one story goes, before sailing to meet her lover Marc Anthony in Tarsus she coated the sails of her ship in so much perfume that he smelled her scent on the breeze long before she arrived.

She also owned a perfume factory.
The ruins of Cleopatra’s perfume factory are by the Dead Sea near Ein Gedi, and there is evidence that it also operated as a day spa — some seating remains, which is reminiscent of the chairs you might sit in to have your nails done or if you, too, wanted to be doused with  fragrances.

Cleopatra even had her perfume recipes recorded in a book called Gynaeciarum Libri, which has unfortunately been lost.

So, ladies, if you want to do something different to attract the attention of that special man in your life, present him with a miniature scented -sails sailboat.

Secret Desires by J. L. Regen

Since the day that Eve bit into that apple and beguiled Adam, many lovers have been drawn to each other through fragrance.

While it has been used to attract males and females to each other, it also has other beneficial properties.
When someone needs a lift after a challenging day at work, spraying a lavender mist into the air calms frayed nerves and contributes to a good night’s sleep.

It is said that Cleopatra misted the sails of her ship with scent to attract Marc Antony.

Aside from her beauty, Napoleon might have been drawn to Josephine’s charms by the scent she wore.
As Christmas nears, what better way to tell that special someone how much you care about them than with a gift of scent.
