	Perfume was extremely important in [[Abbasid Caliphate\|Abbasid]] society. Adults of both sexes and every class as well as children of any age wore it daily. Food was perfumed as it was thought to prevent decay. [[Doctor\|Physicians]] suggested the use of aromatic ointments derived from both plants and animals as part of their remedies.

	Multiple production techniques existed to accommodate such widespread usage. Some were new, such as a distillation process of dried fruits and flowers invented by the alchemist {{Wiki\|Jabir ibn Hayyan}} (722-815). Others had existed for centuries, such as mixing fragrant ingredients with wine or pressing fruits and plants until oil was extracted. Another ancient technique was {{Wiki\|enfleurage}}, the act of rubbing oil-soaked cloth against aromatic materials before pressing the cloth to obtain scented oil. A ninth-century historian, [[al-Tabari]], describes how [[Caliph]] [[Harun al-Rashid]] (r. 786-809) had the air of his palace perfumed by having women dressed in tunics sodden with rose water seated on top of {{Wiki\|Agarwood\|aloeswood}}. Scented oil dripped from their clothes and coalesced with the [[wood]]'s aroma to make the air heavy with rich odour.		Multiple production techniques existed to accommodate such widespread usage.
