Perfume? I’d guess Garum, Roman fermented fish sauce made from anything left after the meat was gone, which (to quote the ads for Frank’s Hot Sauce) “they put that s*** on everything”. There’s a similar condiment popular in SE Asia that was suggested I add to a dish once. I sniffed the bottle and declined the offer. Smelled like vomit. But hey, if the French can enjoy rancid, runny cheese who are we to criticize?
