The Evolution Of Beauty Standards Throughout History

Showering was out, perfume in

Whether you were sweating out in the fields or holed up at home, with rare exceptions, showering would not have been on your to do list. Except in cultures like ancient Rome or India where baths were social arenas and expected, bathing was a seasonal activity. Instead, everyone over-perfumed themselves for all they were worth. So you’d have smelled something similar to the bathroom after you’ve just tried to cover up the odor de toilette with Eau de toilette.
