Ancient people enjoyed making fragrances themselves, but Qu Fulan had no such hobby.
Use whatever is handy, as long as the scent is acceptable, it's the same in modern times; if it weren't for the occasion, she wouldn't bother with perfume.
Among the maids around her, some were skilled in fragrance making. Sometimes, when they were free, they would make some fragrances themselves. Although the scent wasn't as good as those bought from stores outside, it was sufficient for home use.
Earlier, Qu Fulan mentioned that she wanted to start a skincare business, but later, after seeing how complex the fragrance-making process was, she gave up on the idea.
Though skincare products were profitable, the production process was very meticulous. If not done in a dust-free, sterile environment, it's easy for skincare products to spoil and cause allergies to users, ruining their appearance, which would be a major sin.
