Like any other society, Latin culture is one that is embedded with traditions, values and celebrations. Of all the different attributes that are associated with Latinos, there is no question that passion and romance are considered to be two of the most intriguing.

If you are of Latin descent and are interested in seeking a relationship with another Latin man or woman, there are many ways you can go about creating the perfect romantic dating experience, that both you and your date should be able to enjoy with no strings attached.

The following are a few ideas of how you can create romance on your dates:

Dinner – Dinner is always a perfect dating choice, because you can make it as casual or romantic as you would like it to be. It all depends on where you go, and the way you act during the meal. If you are interested in being romantic at dinner, listen intently to what your date has to say, take his or her hand from across the table, look them in the eyes and be honest when you express yourself. However, you should keep in mind that romance can be interpreted as an invitation to sex, or even make the other person feel uncomfortable if they are interested in taking it slow. Therefore, be a tasteful romantic and know when to draw the line. For although you want to capture your dates interest, you dont want to make them feel uncomfortable in the process.

Dancing – Dancing is a great way for you to have fun, while still getting to know and remaining close to your date. Going to a club, or attending Latin dancing is how you can keep the romance freely escalating without having any further expectations hanging in the air.

Walking – You would be surprised to discover the power behind a nice leisurely walk. There is something truly magical about making nature apart of your date. Although not everyone is fortunate enough to have a beach close to them, there is sure to be parks, waterfronts and old fashioned neighbourhoods awaiting your footsteps. Holding hands and talking on an evening stroll, watching the sunset in silence, and gazing up at the stars, are just some of the ways you can use simple beauty to add to the romantic atmosphere of your date.

Due to the fact that traditions are an important part of Latin culture, dating someone of your same ethnic background is usually a plus when it comes to family relations, especially if you are interested in perusing a serious relationship with your dating partner.

Nevertheless, despite your dating intentions, there are many ways you can make your dating experience a beautiful time that you can truly enjoy who knows where a little romance can take you.

Prior to the development of modern sanitation etc, hygiene was poorly understood and certainly received very little attention. The air was full of “smells” from a multitude of sources and one of the most interesting descriptions comes from that indefatigable diarist, Samuel Pepys.

 

He speaks of his late 17th century London childhood, with London under a constant cloud of sooty smoke from open fires, brewers and dyers, soap makers and salt boilers, the smoke from their chimneys covering everything with sooty grime.

 

He records how “wall hangings, pictures and clothes turned yellow and brown like leaves in autumn” and “winter under vests, sewn on for the season against the cold, were the colour of mud by the time spring arrived”!!

 

John Evelyn, that other great diarist and contemporary of Samuel Pepys, also made a special note in his diary in August 1653 writing that “he was going to experiment with an annual hair wash”!

 

Throughout history and certainly into the early 20th century, offensive smells were a real problem within every house, given that there was usually a large family, apprentices, maids and animals all contributing, plus cooking and dirty linen, kept for the monthly wash! Not to mention chamber pots, which were emptied into the yard or street!

 

By the middle of the 18th century efforts were being made to deal with this vast problem, although more on a household level rather than on the level of public works. We must remember that society was heavily classified and it was the wealthy end of society who were the innovators, simply because they could afford it.

 

However, it was the stylish French, who designed an elegant, 18th century solution i.e., the cassolette, simply described as a vase, with a perforated cover to emit perfumes. But, of course, nothing designed for the wealthy, 18th century house was ever simple.



 

                     A very pretty pair of early 20th century,French, Regency style, cassolette accent lamps. The cassolettes, (originally perfume burners), supported on fine tripods of cast bronze, the legs, with cloven feet, the capitals terminating in classical heads.  The tripods on polished stands, mounted on square, cream, marble bases. The cassolettes and square bases in polished cream marble, the marble with iron-red inclusions.

These are a very classic pair of cassolette accent lamps,

retaining all the elegance of this shape,

virtually unchanged for the past three hundred years as used in Europe.

The origins of the style, however,

going back to classical Greece, circa 500 B.C

Lady Hesston leaves us an insight via a note sent to Mathew Boulton, one of the great English designers of the 18th century. She had lent Boulton her perfume burners, or cassolettes as a model, from which he designed his examples. After a time she urged him for their return by explaining, ”my friends reproach me that I do not regale their noses with fine odours after entertaining their palates with soup and ragouts”. It was the custom for cassolettes to make their entry with dessert and chase away the smell of dinner.



 At this time, cassolettes were burners, which were lit and slowly burned to produce a beautiful perfume. Many and varied were the “recipes” for the pastes burned in them. By example:- a base of fine charcoal with equal parts of grain musk, ambergris, seeds of the vanilla pod, attar of roses and orris powder, with enough gum acacia to work the whole together into a paste.

 

As the 18th century moved through the 19th century, conditions improved with the advent of sanitation and electricity.

 

By the early 20th century the cassolette had lost its original function, but was retained, no doubt to its formal style, finally appearing as an elegant lamp.
