Eau de Mort pure perfume oil

The ancient Egyptians believed that death was not the end but a transition to a new form of existence. To ensure a safe passage to the afterlife, the body of the deceased was meticulously preserved through mummification, a process steeped in symbolism and spirituality. The creation of Eau de Mort aims to honor these sacred traditions by blending the fragrant materials used in mummification with modern perfumery techniques, crafting a scent that embodies the essence of eternity and reverence for the afterlife.

In collaboration with Maison Anonyme, my previous Egyptian scent has been reincarnated as an ethical and sustainable fragrance that can be refilled in its UV protective bottle.

As an oil in high concentration, this will sit very close to the skin and is long lasting on leather or dark fabric. It is a darker juice so I advise not rolling it on light fabrics.
