In the Ottoman Era, fragrances had a strong place representing prestige and respectability where there existed a strong focus on beautiful scents and cleanliness. They wore, ate, and drank perfume. The scent was a kind of worship and means of communication. The Harem was a private and sacred retreat for the Sultans and extended families where opulence was in abundance and a serene ambiance infiltrated every corner. The sensual and intoxicating aroma of burnt wood chips, sandalwood, oud, rosewood, and cinnamon enveloped the forbidden areas of the palace. Secluded from the world, inside a maze of beautiful courtyards and secret doors, the Harem was a bastion of tranquillity and was the epitome of peace and luxuriousness. Rich rose oil and the scent of alluring musk, coupled with the charm of coffee, amber, and saffron pervaded the resplendent surroundings.
