    Op, are you trying to imply that only peasants wash their hands after using the bathroom? I’m so confused.

      It’s funny because I always heard that the rich preferred perfumes over bathing, and looked down on peasants for their bathing, especially public baths.

      No source. It’s just what I heard. Even if it’s true, who knows what era and people it applied to.
