KYPHI PERFUME
Price range: $60.00 through $110.00
“Kyphi” perfume is made from a long maceration of my interpretation of the Ancient Egyptian Incense known as “Kyphi”. An aphrodisiacal aroma that relaxes yet arouses the senses. Heated in a special censer, Kyphi incense was associated with the gods and goddesses of creativity Kyphi perfume works in the same way, using your body heat as a living censer.

Inspiration:
“At nightfall, they burned Kyphi, the famous compound incense, which was made of sixteen ingredients. Most of the ingredients that are taken into this compound, in as much as they have aromatic properties, give forth a sweet emanation and a beneficent exhalation, by which the air is changed, and the body moved gently and softly by the current, acquires a temperament conducive to sleep; and the distress and strain of our daily cares, as if they were knots, these exhalations relax and loosen without the aid of wine”
Plutarch
Kyphi incense was made by priestesses in the temples in a long, complex process and then aged. Kyphi was so important to the evening rituals to the gods associated with creation, life, and the afterlife that the recipes were inscribed into the walls of a number of temples dedicated them. Scent and sexuality were closely linked in Ancient Egypt culture. Hieroglyphs and songs were filled with the coded messages that linked aromas to sexuality. In some love poems you can even find that the release of scent coincides with the moment of the women’s climax. When Burned in the evening, Kyphi was believed to revivify the sexuality of the gods or departed dead.
“The aroma of offerings, the aroma of offerings
How sweet is the aroma of the domain of Amun (Lord of Creation).
It is aromatic by means of offerings and provisions.”
The aroma of Kyphi filled the temple. The ithyphallic form of Amun presided over the sacred marriage, the hierosgamos. “The palace was inundated with the divine scent, all its aroma from Punt”

Tips for Wearing Natural Perfumes
Oil Based Perfumes
Esprit de la Nature liquid perfumes are infused into an odorless base of organic Jojoba oil. Even though Jojoba is called an “oil”, chemically it is actually a wax. Since Esprit de la Nature perfumes do not contain water, the perfumes do not expire, and can improve with age. While the volatile top notes (the aromas you smell first) will fade over time, the base and heart notes will deepen and grow more complex. Perfumes based in Jojoba do not have the “throw” or silage of alcohol-based perfumes. They are a more intimate experience.
Solid Perfumes
In solid perfumes, floral and bees’ waxes trap the aroma molecules in the perfume. The heat of your skin melts the waxes which release the fragrance slowly, over time, for a very intimate experience.
Tips for Wearing Natural Perfumes
While I formulate my perfumes to worn on the skin, I actually prefer them worn on the hair. The perfume blends with the natural musk of your hair to create complexity and a fragrance that is uniquely your own. Also, the aroma lasts longer worn in the hair. The best way to experience a natural perfume on your body is to apply it to well-moisturized skin. Rub the perfume into your skin as little as possible, because your skin will absorb the oils and waxes, that hold the fragrance, shortening the duration of the aroma. Natural perfumes are not going to have the longevity or projection of synthetics. Typically, top notes last 10-15 minutes; heart notes 30-45 minutes and base notes up to two hours or longer.
Olfactory nerve saturation.
After a few minutes of smelling the same thing intensely, our olfactory nerve turns off to sensing that smell. This phenomenon is a survival mechanism for sensing changes in and evaluating our environment. If you can’t smell your perfume, take a break from for 15 -30 minutes. You might not be able to smell the perfume on yourself, but others can.
