From Quicksilver

`[he] tried to mask [the smell] with all the spices and aromatic gums of the East. The place was all a-dangle with small charms, cleverly made in the shape of trees, impregnated with rare perfumes.`

One of the themes of the book is that everything started in the 17th century, you know :-)
