Perfumes were fragrant substances that sapient beings applied to themselves in order to give their bodies what they considered a pleasant scent. They were typically made from plants such as the jesmin^[2] or the nlorna flower,^[3] although elements of animal origin like the scent glands of a tirginni beast^[4] or the costly ambergris vomited by the cetaceans of Doreen were also used.^[5] Some perfumes were even based on the pheromones produced by sentients, in order to magnify the effects of the wearer's own.^[6] In addition to providing an attractive scent, perfumes were also used to mask bad or excessive body odors.^[7] There existed perfume for every taste: they could be sweet,^[8] musky^[9] or spicy.^[10] The Human inhabitants of the planet Naboo were notably fond of perfumes and produced some of their own, which were notably sold at the Port Landien Perfumery.^[11]
