Ancient perfumery found in Cyprus

A team of Italian archaeologists working in Cyprus believe they have discovered the site of an ancient perfume factory dating back to the Bronze Age.
Pete's Points:
Now we know - the French are merely the inheritors of yet another Greek tradition. I suspect that archaeologists are even now being rushed by agents for the various large perfume companies looking for the recipes for the ancient perfumes.
Just imagine the new adverts that we are likely to see in the future.
"Scent of old"
"Back to the future"
"Eau de Cyprus"
