chained_bear commented on the word The Royal Unguent of the Kings of Parthia
"Pliny mentions one choice perfume grandiloquently known as 'The Royal Unguent of the Kings of Parthia," a suitably regal mix of many exotic and expensive ingredients, some of which defy identification, but including cinnamon, cardamom, cassia, calamus, ginger grass, saffron, marjoram, and honey."
