'Perfume' has existed since the time of dinosaurs

Scientists claim that perfume has the same appeal as it was from dinosaurs. Modern scents are used to attract the opposite sex and the effect is similar to 100 million years ago, when the original flowers began to develop ways to radiate incense and pollinate.

This period witnessed the development of the first flowering plants.

The charm of perfume may have attracted not only insects but also giant herbivorous dinosaurs, which could result in predatory monsters like T-Rex in the Cretaceous period. These giant creatures may then have carried pollen on their bodies as they move.

Entomologist, Professor George Poinar from Oregon State University confirmed with Historical Biology magazine that this period has witnessed the development of the first flowering plants .

He and his son, Greg, an aromatherapy expert, studied prehistoric petals stored in amber, consisting of an ancient acacia tree with a bee immersed in it. The specimen shows that the flowers have developed the specialized tissues needed to create the scent that is still used today. These tissues secrete compounds released during flowering to attract pollinating organisms.

Professor Poinar said: 'Some dinosaurs may have discovered the scent of these early flowers. Flowers release fragrance to make them more attractive to creatures that help pollinate long before humans start using perfume to make themselves more attractive to others. '
