-Sparkly White & Fresh-
EGYPTIAN WHITE NILE

The White Nile of Egypt, its steady flow of waters contributed to the Blue Nile becoming the aorta of Africa, the Nile River, which was the lifeblood of the ancient Egyptian civilization. The importance of the Nile was immense, it was part of the foundation of the ancient Egyptian religion and the source of economic stability, trade, transportation, and subsequently, pure existence of the desert land. The White Nile River, the longest of the two, was named as such due to the clay sediment suspended in the water, resulting in a light grey-silvery colour.

Our Egyptian White Nile, inspired by the great river of ancient Egypt, is cooling and invigorating, a life-giving drop of essence to calm, renew and refresh the spirit within. Sparkly white, and slightly opaque like the White Nile river, it rubs on smooth, shimmery and dewy, a unisex fragrance meant for everyday breezes of fresh air. For enhanced beauty, the Rose of Sparta, Lotus and Jasmine have been infused, and for coolness, Vetiver is known for its invigorating and purifying properties bringing crispness and sophistication to the base.

This fragrance is a rich and full-bodied signature perfume, for the ones seeking scents of individuality and complexity. A unique fragrance indeed, and a great introduction to French Arabian Art Parfum ~ French Classic Perfumery with Middle Eastern scent infusion from the culture and life of the East.

WHERE DOES EGYPTIAN MUSK COME FROM
The scent of Egyptian Musk is known worldwide, it being one of the most loved fragrances dating centuries back. The origins of Egyptian Musk come from the scent and oil production of Egypt, where ancient wall friezes depict women pouring oil from large vessels wearing scent cones on their heads and rubbing perfume on their bodies. The musky oils and waxes at the time were thick, so they could easily be applied with an attractive sheen, and the scent was heady enough that it would mask any unpleasant odours coming from daily life. The ancient Egyptian Musk derived its musk scent from the Civet and Musk Deer, which made the fragrance extremely pricey and made it only accessible to the affluent of society, this highly prized perfume was placed in ancient tombs as a gift for the 'afterlife'. It is known that Queen Cleopatra of Egypt wore Egyptian Musk oil herself during her lifetime.

WHAT DOES EGYPTIAN MUSK SMELL LIKE
There are many different qualities and characters of Egyptian Musk, depending on the manufacturer or perfumer. The Musk of the Civet and the Musk Deer gave the musky note to Egyptian Musk, making the production costly and subsequently, the fragrance itself very expensive and rare. Frankincense and Myrrh resins were common ingredients in musks of ancient Egypt, as they soaked up the other ingredients of the fragrance and released the scent on the body slowly. Other scents included were most often Patchouli, Rose and Vanilla, giving the fragrance the alluring heavy notes of blossoms which makes Egyptian Musk floral sweet, yet earthy and slightly spicy.
