Cedar and the Pharaohs

Phoenician coastal towns sold cedar wood to Egypt. Herodotus says Egyptians used cedar oil in mummification.

Incense in Ancient Egypt

Incense burned in daily temple rituals, at funerals, during embalming and at home. Kyphi was a ritual incense burned at sunset in the temples. Its recipes are carved on the walls at Edfu and Dendera.

Using and Storing Your Oil

Add a few drops of the oil to your own base. This cedar incense set suits a quiet room, and Egyptian cedar incense burns with calm woody notes.
