Uke Wasebenzisa Amafutha Abalulekile Namuhla?

Isikhathi siyashesha, sekuvele kuyikhulu lama-21. uwoyela obalulekiles ingalandelelwa emuva enkathini yasendulo yaseGibhithe. Kwakukhona amarekhodi amafutha abalulekile namafutha anuka kamnandi eGibhithe cishe ngo-3000 BC.

Yini emangalisa kangaka ngamafutha abalulekile, lokhu Okwemvelo uketshezi lomlingo? Okokuqala, iphunga kanye nokwakheka kwamakhemikhali kwamafutha abalulekile kuyisihluthulelo somsebenzi wawo. Lezi zingxenye zamakhemikhali zemvelo eziguquguqukayo azigcini nje ngokunikeza amafutha abalulekile iphunga eliyingqayizivele, kodwa futhi ziqukethe amandla acebile okwelapha.

Ngaphezu kokusetshenziswa kwayo okubanzi ku ukunakekelwa kwesikhumba, amafutha abalulekile angathinta imizwa yethu kanye nesimo sethu sengqondo ngokuphefumula. Ngaphezu kwalokho, amandla amafutha abalulekile angangena ezingeni lomphefumulo futhi asinike ukudla okungaphakathi nokuphulukiswa.

Amafutha abalulekile avela emithonjeni eyahlukahlukene, kusukela ezithelweni, amaqabunga, izimbali kuya kuma-resin kanye nezingxenye zokhuni, futhi uwoyela ngamunye obalulekile unamandla ahlukile. Amafutha abalulekile ezithelo avuselela amandla, amafutha abalulekile amaqabunga ayondla futhi avikele, amafutha abalulekile ezimbali ayondla ngokunethezeka, amafutha abalulekile e-resin anezikhathi zokwelapha zemvelo, kanti amafutha abalulekile ezinkuni asinika umuzwa omuhle wokulondeka ngamandla awo ajulile futhi agxile enhlabathini.

Emvelweni, amandla amafutha abalulekile anamandla kakhulu. Awasebenzi nje kuphela ezingeni le-microscopic, kodwa futhi asilethela amandla angempela ezingeni le-macroscopic lokuzwana phakathi komuntu nemvelo. Kungakhathaliseki ukuthi siwasebenzisa kanjani amafutha abalulekile, kufanele sikholelwe njalo ukuthi imvelo nabantu kufanele bahloniphane. Ngoba ubuchwepheshe babantu buvumela amandla ezitshalo ukuthi akhuliswe futhi asetshenziswe ngokugcwele, kanti ukuphana kwemvelo kusenza sibe nokuhlangenwe nakho okunethezekile nokuhle kangaka!

Angazi ukuthi uke wayibuka yini ifilimu ethi "Perfume", ethathwe encwadini kaPatrick Suskind enegama elifanayo. Ichaza ingcweti uGrenouille ongenabo ukuxhumana nabantu futhi onomuzwa wokuhogela ozwela kakhulu. Ukuze afune iphunga eliphelele kakhulu emhlabeni, uzimisele ukwenza ubugebengu. Amafutha abalulekile ayizinto zokusetshenziswa zePerfume
