Description
Gandhaśāstra is an art and science of cosmetology and perfumery in ancient India. The practice and trade of Gandhaśāstra was prevalent till medieval times. In this twenty-first century, the trend in cosmetology and perfumery has changed and shifted from the chemical base to the natural bases. Gandhaśāstra has its own terminologies, science and technology, instrumentations and independent glossary of the raw materials from plant as well as animal origin. More than a thousand cosmetics products and thousands of perfumes are described in Gandhaśāstra.
A few newer concepts which are not at all mentioned in the modern cosmetology e.g. Kopachhada Dhūpa (Incense to pacify anger), internal perfume (Incense to make one’s body redolent), Use of perfumes according to the constitution of a person (Selection of scents based on individual genetic code) have been mentioned in this book. The readers would definitely find a pleasure in reading Gandhaśāstra, which was enjoying highest reputation even in the ancient royal families.
