Aggarbatti is the Indian name for the Incense stick, which is a well known product coming every class of people due to its attractive perfumery smell. The use of perfumery compounds started very early in the history. It would probably had its beginning with the Atlantions who flourished at a period conjectured to antedate the christian era by about 23,000 years. For the earliest records of perfumery compound. It is necessary to turn to Egypt Egyptian kings were very fond of perfumes in various forms. Perfumes were used for three quite distinct purposes by the Egyptians. (1) As offerings to their deities, (2) For aesthetic purposes during their lives. (3) As principal agents for embalming their dead, Cosmetics and perfumes were evidently used by jewish women. In India, China and many other Asian countries, natural perfumery compounds were used in the prehistoric period itself. It was customary for the priests to burn incense before the Gods in the temples and this incense probably consisted of aromatic gums, resins and oleo-resins mixed with perfumed woods. These substances were made into small pieces and were volatilized by being thrown in to the glowing censers. While briefly referring to perfumery in connection with religion and the scriptures, it seems desirably that something should tell about the suras in koran which  was written several years later in A.D. 600. There are frequent references to aromatic substances and Arabs' love of perfumes which helped them to appreciate the teachings of the religious work to a much greater degree.
