Vanilla, derived from the orchid species Vanilla planifolia, has a rich history dating back to ancient Meso-American civilizations. Originally cultivated by the Totonac people in present-day Mexico, vanilla was discovered by the Aztecs, who used it to flavor their cocoa beverages. Upon the arrival of Spanish conquistadors in the 15th century, vanilla was introduced to European courts, where it quickly became popular as an exotic and precious spice. For centuries, vanilla production was limited to Mexico due to the complex pollination carried out by native melipona bees. It wasn't until the 19th century that a method for manual pollination was developed, allowing vanilla to be cultivated in other parts of the world, such as Madagascar, which is now the largest producer. Vanilla is cherished not only for its sweet and velvety aroma but also for its versatile applications in food, perfumery, and medicine.

Cotton, one of the world's oldest and most valuable textile fibers, has a history dating back thousands of years BCE. Originally domesticated in South Asia, cotton quickly spread across different civilizations, becoming an essential part of human civilization. The Indus Valley Civilization, one of the oldest civilizations in the world, is known for its early cotton production around 3000 BCE. The knowledge of cotton cultivation and processing then spread to Egypt, where it played a crucial role in the textile industry. Ancient Greeks and Romans valued cotton for its softness and comfort, making it a luxurious fabric. During the Middle Ages, cotton was introduced to Europe by traders from the Middle East. The rise of the cotton industry in the 18th century, especially with the invention of the spinning machine and the mechanical loom, marked the beginning of the industrial revolution. While cotton has traditionally been valued for its soft and durable fibers, it also has a subtle and refreshing scent inherent to the plant. The natural fragrance of fresh cotton is often associated with purity and freshness, making it a beloved aroma in air fresheners and scented candles.
