Kemet Egyptian Perfume
For the aspiring perfumer wishing to re-create a perfume that would embody something of the spirit of ancient  Egypt one can uncover references to the famous perfumes of the time such as Kyphi, Tiryac, Kupar, Medesium, Metopion, Susinum, Irinum, Cyprinum, Amarcinum, etc. The study of the recipes could serve as a foundation for perfume creation.
Or one might like to venture forth on their own creative path using essential oils, absolutes and co2 extracts derived from plants that were known to be used by the Ancient Egyptians such as blue lotus, white lotus, calamus, henna flower and leaf, myrtle, frankincense, myrrh, galbanum, cassia, spikenard, cardamon, cyperus root, cinnamon bark, dill, iris root, saffron, mint, etc. There are many avenues that one can explore in evolving their own vision of what Egypt embodies from ancient into modern times. This is a path I like to follow myself as it gives a lot of creative scope to initiate new and enticing perfumes. More...
