Show Notes
Smell was the vital sensory pulse of ancient Egyptian life. In this week's episode, I share the path that led me to research ancient cosmetic and perfume practices, discovering how ancient Egyptian perfume artefacts were made and used for both religious and personal use. In 2019, my research into olfactory wearable technologies brought me to make ancient Egyptian perfume cones, temple incenses and oils. What did ancient egypt smell like? Anyone interested in the art of fragrance might almost smell the ancient Egyptian perfume wafting from the speakers. Please consider rating and reviewing my show.
