Growth of the Perfume Industry

A growing merchant class as well as increasingly demanding social code among the nobility and upper classes has lead to an increased demand for perfume. The halls of grand palaces are now expected to have a likable scent as well as a majestic decour. This has lead to a surge in demand for products such as frankincense, myrrh and other scented products for the making of perfume and in our capital, the refinement of local flowers and foreign scented goods have even grown into a major industry in itself.
