For thousands of years, people have recognized the beneficial properties of certain plants and natural substances to human health & well-being. The wide trade in spices and perfumes and aromatic substances such as musk, ambergris, cloves, camphor, sandalwood, and aloeswood, in the medieval period, shows the importance of these substances, most of them used in the Near East and Spain were compounded to form perfumes and incenses; through that, the industry of the aromatic substances and scents and fragrances become more developed especially its chemical and pharmaceutical forms. The important writer on aromatics is the Muslim cosmetologist Abu al- Qasim al- Zahrawi (Albucasis). He dealt with aromatic and cosmetics in the nineteenth book of his great work, Kitab “al-Tasrif” which is written in Arabic, this text would likely have added much to this practice.
