DSH perfume Secrets of Egypt Limited Edition Perfume Oil (Limited)
Secrets of Egypt: ANTIU (aka Metopion ; Natural)
Antiu is the name we chose for our modern adaptation of "Metopion", a famous Egyptian perfume that had been known some 300 years before Pliny the Elder and Dioscorides mentioned it. Although Metopion was manufactured in Egypt, the main ingredients were imported. Antiu was also a mentioned name in Egyptian writings: "Place Antiu resin upon your head..." recites the harpist at a banquet. It may refer to a specific resin in solid fragrance form however it may have been purely symbolic because it was widely considered to be "the most exquisite fragrance imaginable, hence the ideal scent".
ANTIU Egyptian Oil PERFUME has been created for Denver Art Museum's KING TUT exhibit, 2010.
