She is considered to be the world’s first recorded female chemist, a perfume-maker mentioned in a cuneiform tablet. Archaeologists found a record of her work in clay on a Assyrian cuneiform tablet dating back to 1200 BCE. in Babylonian Mesopotamia. She used flowers, oil and calamus along with cyperus, myrrh and balsam and preserved the fragrance of delicate florals in transit across the Empire by having the fragrant oils prepared in a concrete of fat and wax similar to a modern enfleurage pomade. As a royal perfume-make, Tapputi wasn’t just the head of her own household (which is what Belatekallim means); she is spoken of as being an authority in her field and the official overseer of perfumery in the royal palace.
