Item description from seller

Print on Demand. This book is a detailed exploration of the essence of roses, a fragrant substance utilized in perfumes and traditional medicine. The author's initial focus is on refuting the claim that the essence of roses has been in use since ancient times. Through historical and etymological evidence, the author demonstrates that the substance, also known as "ather" or "gulâb," was first discovered in the early 17th century during the Mughal Empire. The book contains a meticulous analysis of primary sources, including historical accounts and literary works, to establish a precise timeline for the discovery and subsequent development of rose essence. The author also delves into the social and cultural significance of the substance, examining its role in Mughal court rituals and its popularity among elites. The author's research offers a valuable contribution to the history of perfumery and provides insights into the evolution of cultural practices surrounding scents and fragrances. It will appeal to scholars, historians, and anyone interested in the fascinating world of roses and their use in human civilization. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. …
