The first recorded perfume maker was a woman named Tapputi-Belatekallim from Mesopotamia.
While archaeologists have discovered perfumes dating back over 4000 years in Cyprus, the earliest recorded individual associated with perfume making is Tapputi-Belatekallim. A cuneiform tablet, dating back more than 3000 years, identifies her as the first documented perfume maker. This provides a specific name and time period for someone involved in the early creation of perfume.
