The Ancient Greeks and Romans perfected the use of fragrance to cover body odor and to make them more attractive. In Greece, the essential oils from eucalyptus, lavender and musk were used in scented baths and body scrubs. The Roman patricians used scented cloths or leather bags hung around their neck to keep the smell of body odor and rotting food from disturbing them in areas with high-density populations. In the Coliseum, there were mechanisms used to pipe floral and citrus scents throughout the stands.
