Revered for over three millennia, copious quantities of fresh-cut Egyptian Blue 'Lotus' waterlily flowers called '
Seshen' were presented daily as offerings in the sanctuaries of the god forms or Neteru, with the sacred scent pervading every corner of the temple chambers.
Our third photo, taken by Shane Clayton in the Old Egyptian Museum in March 2018, is of a mid-13th century BCE Amarna Period alabaster perfume bottle, likely containing blue lotus oil and possibly depicting one of the Pharaoh Akhenaten's princess daughters.
Now you too can enjoy this luxurious ancient fragrance!
'The Egyptian' Sacred Scents has secured an exclusive source of steam-distilled, 100% pure organic certified, Egyptian Blue 'Lotus' Absolute perfume oil - imported direct from Sri Lanka and offered here in limited quantities. This magical essential oil truly evokes the living fragrance of fresh-cut blue waterlily flowers!
Note: Seshen is a pure concentrated absolute oil. While it can be safely applied full strength directly to the skin as a stand-alone perfume, it is most often sold diluted in a carrier oil, or in perfume mixtures or attars such as our Wadjet Perfume Oil, and can also be added to unscented massage oils.
Our Seshen oil is particularly well-suited for water-based essential oil diffusers to emit the lovely olfactory effect of the fresh-cut flowers!
12ml Bottle (photo shows 30ml, 12ml, and 2ml bottle sizes)
