Cleopatra’s Perfume Oil: Recreating an Ancient Recipe | Post

Excerpt from original post:

I was reading this article about the discovery of some ancient amphoras in excavations in the city which used to be famous in ancient Egypt for its production of perfume, and by analyzing the ingredients found in the ancient residues, researchers recreated a perfume formula that might have been worn by Cleopatra herself.

The thing is that once I had a look at the ingredients, and I analyzed the magical properties of the formula I came to the conclusion that it symbolises all what we know about her.

Cleopatra embodies the archetype of the queen. An independent, powerful and strong woman who isn't afraid to use her resources in the best interest of her kingdom.

So, let's take a look at the recipe and tell me what you think.

The ingredients called for in the recipe are myrrh, cinnamon, cardamom and olive oil, but it doesn't provide any measurements, so I've gone with equal parts of each one of the dried ingredients, and covered the dried mixture with olive oil.

It sounds very similar to the original Abramelin Oil recipe, and if you have ever tried to make it, you have probably noticed that although it smells very good, it's not strong enough to be considered a perfume. That's why instead of letting it macerate for a few weeks (as you would do with Abramelin oil), I have warmed this up instead in a double boiler for one hour to release the fragrance properties of the ingredients more quickly.

It smells divine, and although I'm not sure if I'm gonna use it as a perfume, I'll definitely be using it as an anointing oil for my craft as a tool any time I need a bit of self-confidence or strength.

last night i tried coping by drinking gin with my cousin and watching peep show on my sofa but we kept interrupting the show every time they would do bob ross painting to discuss our experiences with painting and opinions on different types of paints and i ended up rambling for like half an hour about the spiritual connection i feel with the geological and biological processes that cause natural ochres to develop in the ground and how the bacterial fermentation that creates biogenic ochre and mud dyes that are used in traditional batik back home are a collaboration between humans and other forms of life, then i showed her my jars of ochres ive collected and made into paints in my travels and i think i started talking about this ancient egyptian recipe for curing heartache "a spell against decay in their inside-house" which involved eating mouthfuls of red clay soil mixed with flaxseed cooked in oil and honey (basically making an edible oil paint for inside the body) because they believed it would sate intense longing and heart-sickness. and then we seriously considered trying that as a last resort option for fixing whatever is wrong with me. but all in all i think the grief madness could be worse
