Egyptian buy Musk Pharaoh was inspired by the age-old perfumes of Egyptian antiquity - ancient essences produced from the traditional natural ingredients procured at the times. The wealth and social rank of the ancient Egyptians were measured by garments, accessories and perfumes worn - the upper class would wear the finest of perfume oils, whereas the use of incense was only for the elite, or in tribute to kings or gods. Intricately carved perfume flacons of the highly valuable fragrant unguents (waxy, solid perfumes) were buried along with other luxuries in the tombs to accompany the Pharaohs on their journey into the 'afterlife'.

Perfumes of Ancient Egypt were based on local aromatics of blossoms, herbs, spices and animal products. The essences were thick, heavy oils, cooked and stored in fine clay vessels to keep fresh and out of the sun. The noble scent profile and viscous texture of Egyptian Musk Pharaoh is accentuated with subtle top notes from the bouquet of Lotus, Jasmine and Magnolia, sumptuous florals for sensual beauty. As the scent of blossoms drift into the air, the earthy resinous aromas of Oil of Clay, Frankincense, Myrrh of Punt and Ebony wood create the deep warmth that gives the perfect back drop for pure Deer Musk and Civet; natural pheromones to provoke, attract and enchant.
