You know, in history, Versailles is actually synonymous with dirty and smelly. Because at that time, there was a lot of filth on the roads of Versailles, and the toilets smelled bad, and feces oozed from time to time on the walls. The whole pond has also become smelly, which is of course very different from Versailles now. The most shocking thing is the terrible sanitary conditions in Versailles. In the French Palace of Versailles around the18th century, it can be said that the sanitary conditions at that time were very typical.
You know, French perfume is very famous, and those royal women can show their charm by putting perfume on their hands. But I also know that when France first invented perfume, the purpose was not to show its charm, but to cover up the smell that French people gave off when they didn't take a shower. At that time, the French people's ideas were very different from those now. It can be said that the whole society thinks that not taking a bath is right, meaningless and harmful to people's health.
At that time, these people's social cognition was completely opposite to that now. These people think that bathing with hot water actually fixes the impurities in the air on the skin, which will destroy the function of the human body and make it unable to function normally. And these people also think that public toilets are more susceptible to more viruses. /kloc-Around the 0/7th century, these French people thought that only people who were in urgent need of medical treatment would take a bath. At that time, the whole French society was very opposed to bathing. You know, if you don't take a bath for a long time, people will inevitably give off some unbearable smells, so someone invented perfume.
