Science has already proven that sculptures from ancient Greece and Rome were often painted in warm colors, and now a Danish study has revealed that some were also perfumed.

A white marble statue was not intended to be perceived as a statue in stone. It was supposed to resemble a real god or goddess.

In Delos, in Greece, inscriptions in temples reveal that some statues were maintained by rubbing them with rose-scented perfume.
