Tutankhamun perfume oil
Tutakhamun reigned at the end of the Amarna period during the New Kingdom shortly after the unorthodox reign of Akhenaten. He died young but his near intact burial tomb was the richest find of the Valley of the Kings in Egypt
Our Tutankhamun perfume oil is closely based on the residue of a perfume found in his tomb and is composed of the highly prized essential oils spikenard and frankincense combined with pure coconut oil. The blend has a rich and warm spicy and sweet aroma with hints of wood and earth.
New improved recipe!The scent oil is composed of essential frankincense oil, essential spikenard oil and pure virgin coconut oil so care should be taken before applying to the skin (as with all essential oils). The perfume oil forms a solid cream when cold and liquid when warm as it's base is pure virgin coconut oil and so it can be massaged into skin in the traditional manner. To obtain the best results, the oil should be applied to the pulse points.

Metopion perfume oil
According to Dioscorides Metopion was the Ancient Egyptian name for the plant from which galbanum is derived. It was also the name of a highly prized perfume in which galbanum was one of the main ingredients. This perfume was thought to have powerful medicinal and restorative qualities as well as a beautiful scent which was famous throughout the ancient world. In particular, the perfume was thought to calm the mind and relax the muscles and bring about a sense of well being and health. There is some dispute as to the ingredients of which the perfume was composed but most sources agree that galbanum, cardamom, myrrh and almond oil were the main ingredients.
Our Metopion perfume oil is made with pure essential oils and pure almond oil and has a sweet, fresh and invigorating fragrance.
