Cedar and Mummification

Cedar oil appears in accounts of Egyptian embalming. Herodotus and Diodorus mention it, and it served for injection and anointing.

An exhibit at the University of Illinois notes that it was likely made from juniper. Juniper does not grow in Egypt, so importation is likely.

Resins and Woods

True resins came from the eastern Mediterranean. Sources include the cedar of Lebanon, Cilician fir and Aleppo pine.

This blend sits on that old trade, and its mummification wood scent nods to it. Browse more in our Museumize incense collection.

The Blend

Burning and Care
