Flowers and Fat in Egyptian Perfume

Egyptian perfume used plants such as iris, lily, juniper, marjoram, mint and myrtle. Makers used maceration and boiling in a fat or oil base. Ingredient order and timing mattered. The full process could take a year or more.

Cedar on the Nile Trade

Phoenician coastal towns sold cedar wood to Egypt. Herodotus says Egyptians used cedar oil in mummification. Cedar was also valued for its fragrance in sacrifices and for protecting books from worms.

Using and Storing Your Oil

Add a few drops of this Egyptian flower fragrance oil to your own base. A cedar musk fragrance oil note keeps the florals grounded. A floral cedar scent suits a quiet hallway. Browse more scents in the Fragrance Oils collection or the full Museumize fragrance collection. Keep the cap tight and store the bottle upright, away from heat and direct sun.

The Nile gave Egypt its flowers, and trade brought its cedar. A Nile flowers scent honors both. Many pair a cedar musk fragrance oil with a simple wooden tray. A floral cedar scent feels calm and classic.
