Description
Myrrh is a natural resin extracted from the tree Commiphora myrrha across the Middle East and parts of Africa. Like frankincense, it is an antimicrobial. It is also widely used as a palliative for bruises, arthritis, sprains, and toothaches. The ancient Egyptians used Myrrh as incense for their midday temple ritual, as well as medicinally.
Cinnamon is one of nature’s strongest antimicrobials, used extensively in dressings, and also a treatment for gum ulcers. In daily life, tishepes was burned and its oil was utilized to permeate clothing and bedding with the scent of an aphrodisiac. It is utilized in many incense and oil perfumes and infused into soothing massage emollients for the body and feet.
Mendesian originated in Mendes; the Greek name of the Ancient Egyptian city of Djadut, also known in Ancient Egypt as Par Ba’anabdjadut (The Domain of the Ram Lord of Djadut) and Inapat, is known today as Tell El-Ruba. This Nile Delta city became the capital of Ancient Egypt’s Late Period. Mendesian perfume was so popular for thousands of years, that it became known simply as ‘The Egyptian’ by Roman times.
Ba’anabdjadut was the god of Mendes, who was consulted by the Divine Tribunal in the Judgment of Horus and Seth. Ptah, the creator god of Memphis, took the form of Ba’anabdjadut in his form of virility in the conception of Ramesses II. It can be worn for creativity, virility, and a favorable court verdict.
Directions: Warm the oil. Shake well to agitate contents. Apply to the skin and allow the scent to develop.

This is a lovely product. I got the package and when I cracked open the bottle and got the first smell of this oil I was filled with joy. As a devotee of the gods of Mendes, this is just what I needed to connect more to them. The seller was also kind enough to include some samples of other oils in my order! I will definitely be coming back for more. 🙂

LOVE the Mendesian oil. I’m fascinated by history. Reading about ancient Egyptian perfumes led me here. I expected a strong smell for some reason, but it’s a subtle, delightful smell. My skin is crazy soft after about 10 minutes of absorbing and stays soft for the entire day. Great product. The little samples included were a thoughtful touch. I can’t wait to buy more products.

Wonderful aroma, not too strong. I think I detect a pleasant primary mix of Almond and sandalwood. Has an almond/Keper/Kyphi smell. I will certainly buy it again. For my skin it has a nice warming sensation and adds a nice smell. Great for the current weather, and a shaved head like mine.

We are sorry to hear of your experience. Ancient fragrance oils are more subtle than modern perfumes as the ingredients are heat steeped in oils used in ancient times for several hours, rather than being a modern essential oils blend. Their scents are best experienced by shaking the bottle to agitate the contents, then applying it to the skin.

My new favorite scent – exactly as described with hints of Eastern spices that make me feel like an Egyptian priestess while wearing this old world aroma – I’ll never wear any other scent ❤️⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐❤️

The fragrance is not like modern perfumes. It is subtle and pleasant. Somehow it seems to evoke antiquity. Possibly because it has been called the perfume of Cleopatra.

Item delivered in timely manner. However product was not what expected. Did not like – not exceptional nor special in quality, sophisticated scent, or exceptional uniqueness . Found it rather a less than ordinary scent.
