[Steppes] OT - Carthusia Perfumes of Capri 1380

[Jewell Wainwright]

I have one period perfume recipe that supposedly belonged to an empress.  I made it using essential oils, and it smells awful!!!!!!  LOL!  Of course, we must remember that during that time period bathes were not all that frequent, so I'm sure the perfumes had to be strong to cover the body odors.
