Ancient Egyptians at all levels of society were extremely concerned with scent and cleanliness and used an array of aromatics and essential oils to suit all occasions, both in this life and the next. Joann Fletcher investigates the extensive evidence in artistic, literary and archaeological sources and provides a guide to various oils and perfumes favoured by the ancient Egyptians. She looks at where they came from, how they were produced and stored and at the different ways in which they were used - practical, therapeutic, social, religious and funerary. Finally she suggests a number of ways to indulge yourself in true ancient Egyptian style.

Wonderful!,

This review is from: Oils and Perfumes of Ancient Egypt (Hardcover)
I recently received this set as a gift. The oils are top quality and the little book included is quite facinating. I would highly recommend to anyone who is interested in aromatherapy and herbalism as well as the culture of the Ancient Egyptians

This review is from: Oils and Perfumes of Ancient Egypt (Hardcover)
The perfume of these products is unlike anything I have ever used. Being allergic to many perfumes, this was just a blissful experience. After an aromatherapy massage the perfume lingers for quite a while and people have asked me what perfume I am wearing. As I am researching ancient Eygptian therapies this was just a lovely surprise. I highly recommend it.
