Arabesque Perfume Holder Necklace with 5 felt pads
The fashion of perfume holder jewelry dates back to the Middle Ages.
In ancient times they were called pomanders, small spherical containers filled with aromatic substances, used to perfume wardrobes, drawers, wardrobes (from the French “pomme de sentiurs“ pomo, apple of perfume).
They were openwork oval pendants originally containing only amber, then subsequently various precious resins such as myrrh and incense.
The nobility wore them hung from their belts or necks to perfume themselves and enjoy the aphrodisiac and therapeutic powers of perfume.
Depending on the movement of the body, the pomanders gave off scented trails throughout the day.
Priests and doctors also made great use of it who, in this way, avoided contagion in times of plague, exploiting the antiseptic virtues of some essences.
over the centuries the shape of the pomanders changed from sphere to very varied shapes, such as skulls, crucifixes, apples, and were increasingly embellished with crystals and gold. they became their own jewels to show off, in elegance and refinement, sometimes hosting not only essential oils, but also spices, perfumed pastes or sponges impregnated with perfume or essential oils.
The pendant comes with 5 colored pewters, which allow you to use up to 5 different scents *.
The necklace can be used for aromatherapy.
You sprinkle your favorite perfume on the felt pad, insert it inside the pendant and a delicious aroma will be released.
