The ingredient which was essential for the embalming process, natron could be found in abundance in Egypt. Dry, cold, deadly and sophisticated, there is nothing of the adolescent about this blend. Wormwood and sandalwood slither past each other, a bright pinch of lemon zest, a coat of sage to remind us of the desert, salt of lavender completes the picture and the whole blend is strong but subtle, heady, and sexy as hell.
