 In the ancient Middle Ages, pails for bathing were used  by poor people. Still,  there were   no traces of deodorants  for them.
 18th century
 Art of perfuming   reached  its peak.  Refined perfumes were created.

 Women started to rub underarms with ammonia infusion. It was  quite an unpleasant procedure, as ammonia burns the skin.  In 1888 the first deodorant – cream, which fights bacteria, was invented.
 
 20th century
 In the beginning of the century  there was a whole range of products (deodorants) which irritated  the skin,  soiled  and damaged  the clothes.
