169/366 Perfume

The word perfume is used today to describe scented mixtures and is derived from the Latin word per fumus (lit. 'through smoke').

The world's first recorded chemist is a woman named Tapputi, a perfume maker whose existence was recorded on a 1200 BCE Cuneiform tablet in Babylonian Mesopotamia.. She held a powerful role in the Mesopotamian government and religion, as the overseer of the Mesopotamian Royal Palace.
