The Persian Muslim doctor and chemist Cologne Avicenna (also popular as Ibn Sina) naturalized the fashion of extracting oils from flowers by means of distillation, the procedure most commonly given over today. He first experimented with the rose. Until his discovery, damp perfumes were mixtures of oil and crushed herbs, or petals which made a strong blend. Rose bathe was expanded delicate, and immediately became popular. Both of the raw ingredients and distillation technology significantly influenced western perfumery and experimental developments, particularly chemistry.
Men's fragrances are rarely as EdP or perfume extracts. As well, women's fragrances are rarely sold in EdC concentrations. Although this gender specific naming trend is common for assigning fragrance concentrations, it does not directly have anything to do with whether a fragrance was intended for men or women.
