The rediscovery of ancient perfumes is complicated by the limited evidence that survives; but the authors familiarized themselves with what is known of the original methods of antiquity, and made scientific study of traces of aromatic products from a first-century AD tomb located in Mangalia, by the Black Sea. Their discussion includes an outline of their methods, and discussion of ancient ingredients and their sources from the perfume and spice routes of the Ancient World.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":68050074435872,"sku":"NEW0963816934","price":70.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/511Y6zLGkOL.jpg?v=1793282160","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/en-ca\/products\/the-fragrant-past-0963816934","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
