In this photo taken on Saturday, April 4, 2019, Yiannoula Lazarou lights a fire underneath a replica of a 5th millennium B.C. perfume distiller that was discovered in the ancient Mesopotamian settlement of Tepe Gawra near modern-day Mosul, Iraq, at an ancient perfume theme park and museum in Korakou, Cyprus. Even before gaining fame in antiquity as the birthplace of the love goddess Aphrodite 2,700 years ago, sun-drenched Cyprus had made a name for itself for the superior quality of its perfumes that it's said were even prized by the mighty queens of Egypt.
