Fragrant robes

Fragrant robes. The anointing of a person did not always involve the use of oil. Plant extracts such as aloe, cassia (similar to cinnamon), and myrrh were used during celebrations such as weddings and coronations. The extracts would either be oiled or brushed onto the clothes to give off a pleasing aroma.
