Aromatherapy is an ancient science. The fact that aromas affect both the physical and psychological state of people had been known from time immemorial. Jars for aromas and images of plants found at excavations of ancient civilizations offer evidence of the long history of perfume. The Bible and the Koran both describe how different natural aromatic substances were used, for magic, aesthetic and medical purposes.
From ancient times oriental cultures used aromas to raise tonus. Ancient priests kept their receipts of �aromas of love� in secret.
Today the secrets of new aromas of love are also hidden behind seven locks. Leading perfumeries of the world �conjure� their creations sitting alone in their laboratories. Then they present these new sense-ations to the world: �perfume by��
Aromas, like fashions, are subjects to changes in style. So, after World War II, girls admired Miss Dior perfume by Christian Dior. In the 1970s, strapping youth used gallons of delicate Fiji by Lanc�me. The early 1980s were the time of Poison by Christian Dior. In 1990s, there are dozens of new perfumes.
Today, the famous perfume company Coti has over 200 aromas. People say Coti�s products were successful by chance. The founder and leading perfumery Fransua Coti received in 1904 several orders from owners of perfume shops after a bottle of new perfume was broken at the counter of the Louvre gift shop. The aroma rapidly spread in the halls and� people liked it.
Fransua was considered one of the best �noses� of France. There are few such people in the world. While common people can distinguish 50 aromas, a specialist can detect 2,000 to 4,000 aromas. When common people suppose that a rose is arose, a �nose� says confidently where the rose grew, what its color was and how old it was.

�Happy motoring� seems having been the leimotif of the automobile trade in Italy, during the month on October. This at least is what datas just released by the Italian national association of automakers, ANFIA, highlight.
Collected purchasing orders show an encouraging + 8.5% compared to October �98, meaning that 199,385 new cars will soon be delivered to impatient motorists. The result is welcome with relief by auto dealers and automakers since it reverses a negative trend that had been going on for the three previous months.
October�s brilliant result brings to 1,998,705 the number of brand new cars purchased since January last, a figure short of only 24,000 units compared to the first ten months of last year.
Of course, people of the trade have estimated what kind of numbers the market may be able to mark by the end of the year. So ANFIA ventures a sounding 2,350,000 units being sold in the whole year by December 31st.
Fiat, of course, plays the king�s role on the market with 549,125 cars sold by October�s end, of these some 47,810 units have been sold last month. In total, however, the Italian automobile industry records a setback equal to a disappointing �10.7% over the same period of the previous year. With Fiat, also Alfa Romeo and Lancia look desolately at figures that, summed up with those of other minor Italian automakers, are alarmingly red.
Italian motorists, however, are quite responsive as the 120,252 foreign new cars they have purchased in October demonstrate: 17,390 new Renaults, 16,900 Opels, 13,750 Fords, 13,540 Volkswagens. But also 5,010 new Mercedes Benzs, 3,470 Audis, 3,190 BMWs, 2,400 Rovers and 1,280 Volvos, i.e. vehicles belonging to the most prestigeous class.
The variation recorded in aggregate over the first 10 months of both 1998 and 1999 by the upper class cars is somewhat astonishing, it proves indeed that the market is sound and safe: BMW + 20.1%, Mercedes Benz + 12.5%, Audi + 1,9%.
Turin�s Fiat expects its new Punto model to be a hot issue by the end of the year: since its presentation on September 11th, in fact, the car has collected some 225,000 purchasing orders throughout Europe. Happy motoring to Mr. Agnelli too, then!
