Smell Like An Egyptian Queen
Have you ever wondered what kind of perfume Cleopatra used to wear? In ancient Egypt there were only a few essential oils available to make perfumes so it is fairly easy to replicate the kind of scents that Eygptian Queens and courtesans used to wear. Furthermore you can buy these essential oils, which are still made in Egypt and make your own.
The essential oils that were commonly used in Egypt to make perfume were:
Black Cumin Essential Oil (that has a bit of a pungent, sharp and medicinal odor)
Rose Geranium Essential Oil (a light and peppery scent)
Violet Absolute Essential Oil (smells like African violets)
Cassia Pure Absolute (smells like a richer, more smothering and powder like version of Myrrh)
To get an idea of what Cleopatra, Queen of the Nile, smelled like back in the days when Rome ruled the world try mixing these oils with a carrier oil and applying it to your skin or putting it in your bath.
