Perfume in Pharaonic Egypt

Egyptian perfume was fat-based, and scent also came as incense. Frankincense, myrrh, cinnamon, cassia and cardamom were cited ingredients, largely imported. Unguent cones appear in banquet scenes. The temple walls of Edfu preserve detailed recipes.

Kyphi, a Temple Incense

Kyphi was a ritual incense burned at sunset in Egyptian temples. It had about sixteen ingredients, including cinnamon or cassia and henna. Recipes are carved at Edfu and Dendera. Plutarch later described it in the 1st century CE.

Using and Storing Your Oil

Add a few drops of this Egyptian rose fragrance oil to your own base. An Egyptian perfume oil like this suits a small keepsake gift. A rose cinnamon fragrance oil note stays warm and soft. 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.

Egyptian temples scented the air long before modern perfumery. A rose musk scent here nods to that heritage without claiming an ancient recipe. Any Egyptian perfume oil carries some of that glamour. A rose cinnamon fragrance oil suits an evening shelf.
