Egyptian Goddess

This is definitely my signature scent...I feel naked without it. 😅 Egyptian Goddess touches everything I touch. My sheets, my clothes, my car...it has a way of lingering softly on the edges of your life. A lot of people recognize this scent immediately. Several times a month I get asked, “Are you wearing Egyptian Goddess?” and then they usually share a memory of someone they once knew who wore it. I think that’s why I like to wear this...I’m the kind of person who wants to hear about your cousin from New York, or your 6th grade German teacher. It makes me smile. Makes me feel connected, like all of us Egyptian Goddess wearers are in a secret club. The scent itself is a bit of an enigma. It’s warm and musky in a clean way...there’s light, unidentifiable florals on a bed of clear amber notes, with a touch of sandalwood. It smells “golden,” if that makes any sense? It is truly not easy to explain this scent in words...it’s sweet like a woman is sweet...not like candy. It’s a bit like smelling a loved one’s pillow. Or kitten fur. Egyptian Goddess, like all musks, is a chameleon of a fragrance...it changes based on the weather and on your individual skin chemistry. She plays hide and seek with your nose. You may not smell it, but others still can - it will surprise you! There are times when it smells rubbery, or like pencil shavings. Other times it’s just simple and clean, similar to Jovan Musk Oil for Women. This oil really shines outdoors on warm, breezy days. It smells like a freshly-washed hippie who doesn’t wear patchouli. The projection/longevity are wonderful. A few swipes on pulse points will surround you with a soft cloud of fragrance for many hours. !!️ Never over apply this one!! It loses its beauty that way. Less is more. This type of fragrance really has its own presence, as if it lives and breathes alongside you. People will subconsciously know you by this scent, if you let it become you. PS - Buy the big 2 oz bottle, it’s only $30.00 and it will last you for years...and, like most oils, it only gets stronger with time. ✨

I was half-expecting to be disappointed but the minute I tried this, I immediately went back to order more. Just in case. I have only come to like musks in the past few years when I realized that was the note I really liked in some perfumes. And love oils. Kuumba Made got me interested in trying more from other brands. This Egyptian Goddess by Auric Blends is everything I wanted from K.M. musks. Where Kuumba oils (except for the Amber Paste) go a little "plastic" smelling on me - or they dissipate too quickly for an oil fragrance. This one goes on really mild but as soon as it warms up, you get more from it. Powder. I get a lot of powder directly under the really fragrant musk note. And there is not just an amber musk but a floral musk to this. This is very feminine and sultry. I was worried about wearing it in our humid summer heat but it's behaving beautifully. This is one that I like to wear alone or with a spray perfume. Wearing it alone, I get the best projection and longevity by applying it to my throat and bosom. To blend it, I apply just a little to my wrists. I have a roller of The Only One (D&G) that disappointed me for the missing notes on my skin. With the Egyptian Goddess, it shows up and shows out - in a good way. You know you found a good scent to wear when you just can't stop wanting to smell it on yourself. By the way, I might try getting this directly from the brand site in the future. I got this one from Amazon and am so happy that I didn't get a knock-off. P.S.: I let another lady try this and... nothing. She had to apply quite a bit before we could notice it on her. What we did get was more floral and one of the musk or powder that I get. Very weird. I have a feeling that this one REALLY depends on the wearer.

Egyptian Goddess is an interesting one! It seems to play a funny peekaboo game with my nose. The scent kind of melts into my skin and, like mizhoopz below, I *almost* have trouble smelling it. The scent itself "reads"/presents more as a temperature -- "warm" -- than as a fragrance/smell, if that makes sense. But when fairly liberally applied (I have the oil rollerball) to wrists, neck, and chest, it nonetheless radiates this mildly sweet warmth, for about 5-6 hours; to me, decent longevity. In comparing it to other musks, it does not resemble Nemat's Egyptian Musk, which is also truly lovely, with its interesting mineral smell, and it definitely doesn't resemble any white musks I have -- Al Rehab or Body Fantasies Signature. I just ordered a bottle of Perfectly Scentsable (formerly "Remedy Northwest") Egyptian Musk and am eager to compare that one with it, plus, I might drop by Whole Foods to sniff Kuumba Made. Most of all, Egyptian Goddess reminds me of Solstice Scents Pharoah. Both have this lovely "your-skin-but-better" warmth, but Pharoah is a little more honey-sweet and has a little aromatic/resinous olibanum, though just in the top note. If you're a warm, clean musk fan, Egyptian Goddess is a lovely choice.

I recognize this! I'm not sure on whom, or where I've smelled this, but I'm certain I have before. I live in a hipster area, so I don't find it surprising. I LOVE this. It's so simple, and so beautiful, it's exactly what I was hoping for...and more! Truthfully, I expected this to be earthier, but this is bordering on soapy. I can't believe there's no citrus listed here in the notes, because this has a tart, almost sour candy quality to it, but it's also quite sweet. It almost reminds me of Pez. Again, it's almost soapy and smells like gardenia to me, possibly jasmine too. These florals are light and hang in the backseat...leading me to say... This is mostly a linear, gorgeous feminine-leaning (but still unisex enough) musk! It's so sultry, and so sensual, it's hard to understand how it's so affordable. I'm incredulous, really...how is this not hyped up more? I almost don't want it to be, but it's astounding that this isn't a household name. I can tell this is going to do just fine in the heat (and bloom even more) and so far, it's sitting pretty and lasting quite well. It's an intimate cloud, but when moving around it leaves a lovely, but not-too-strong scent trail. Yes!! Majorly successful blind buy 😊

This is my signature scent/ride-or-die/fall-back scent. No matter what else I experiment with, I always come back to this. Sometimes I layer this under lighter perfumes to make them stay on longer. Nothing else smells as comfortable and skin-like with my chemistry. This is a your-skin-but-delicious scent. It lasts a long time but people won't ask what perfume you are wearing. It garners compliments, but they are mostly compliments such as: "You smell wonderful," rather than "I love your perfume." I can't believe it's so affordable. I've been wearing this for years, and I must say, the current formulation is less rich than it used to be, and has a slight chemical twinge to it in the bottle, but it still smells better with my particular skin chemistry than pretty much anything else. It is a warm, clean, creamy, musky, hug of a scent. It is persistent but doesn't shout out its presence. It stays on clothing. And it stays on people's minds without them knowing what hit them. Tip: Go with the oil rollerball. I have tried the lotion and the perfume spray, and they are too weakly scented.

My most complemented fragrance out of my whole collection. Even my sister with bad allergies, who can't handle most of my frags because they trigger headaches, likes this one. The biggest problem is that this is such a popular scent, people know it well. Have had guys follow me around public places to ask what I'm wearing and say, "My ex used to wear that, I miss it." or "You smell just like my high-school English teacher! What is that?" Very fresh without being at all aquatic. Clean, light musk but not sharp or dry. Slightly floral? But no specific blossoms noted. I sense sandalwood. Slightly sweet. Very smooth. Great performance. Graceful and understated. Perfect for day or night, work or gala, I've worn it everywhere (for over 20 years) and everyone seems to love it. Compliment magnet. Only downside is that it seems to encourage people to talk to you which can be problematic when you are in a hurry or dealing with something complicated... I guess I'd say this fragrance is VERY friendly and approachable. Wear with caution.

I’ve been hearing about the change in this for a few years now, and finally got my hands on some. Egyptian Musk oil is one of my favorite types of musk, ever since a friend of mine helped me pick some out from a street vendor in NYC in 1993. This one came out in 1993, and was a good, easy to find Egyptian Musk stand by, and comes in oil, solid, soap, spray, etc. Oils have always been my favorite form of musk, though, since your skin warms them up nicely and you get a lovely scent that way. This used to be a good, strong, true Egyptian Musk scent. It’s very, very faint and light now. I agree with those who says it’s changed. There’s also a slightly fruity new top note now, that almost reminds me of Juicy Fruit gum? Once that fades and your skin warms up the oil, you do get a fleeting, split second hint of the old Egyptian Musk scent, and then it smells like nothing. Fun nostalgic find, but this will no longer be an Egyptian musk go-to for me. I prefer the one from Remedy Northwest (Perfectly Scentsable) over this one.

If you want to smell sexy and expensive for a fraction of the price, then get this! I have so many stories about this scent, but all I will say is this will drive men CRAZY. I have a hard time explaining what it smells like because it’s not something I’ve ever smelled before. It does not smell musky or powdery. It’s rich, smooth, and intense (but in the perfect way possible). This scent lasts forever. I pulled my winter coat out from last December and my coat still smells like this. You can wash/dry your clothes and the scent will still be there. There’s no getting away from it lol. Sillage is moderate but very strong on a windy day! I recently repurchased another one because mine is almost gone and they changed the formulation. The bottle that I have (from 2016) was a very intense Egyptian Musk. The one I just purchased is lightly scented. I am literally so upset. This is my favorite scent and it’s impossible to find good quality Egyptian Musk.

Female family members have been using this forever, and it's one I have to keep on deck. I plan to buy the big bottle instead of another roll on or use those for my purse. It almost smells like a Skylar perfume I tried once but can't remember which one. Clean, sexy, aquatic musk that just activates with your skin. I love this on a breezy day when the wind hits you just right and you smell it. I also love it for attraction, summer nights out dancing or a date with my man. Men seem to love a whiff of this, so I suggest putting it behind the neck and just the wrsits if you want someone to get closer lol. It's very seductive and romantic, and smells expensive and pampering. It's a scent you only want to cling lightly to the air if there's a breeze or if you move past someone. Mysterious would be another good adjective lol.

Soft dewy petals falling on scorching hot sand Pure feminine vibes. So soft yet so strong and so very, very sultry. This has such a pleasant clean aroma to it. I can’t stop smelling it when I’m wearing it. It withstands hours of hard work and sweat...and frankly only smells better the harder I work. For this reason it has become my signature. I always feel fresh and put together when I am wearing it and it has just enough allure to it, others always ask me what I am wearing and that I smell great. I use the solid perfume version, I have found it has the best longevity and the best potency with only the swipe of a fingertip for my wrists and my neck. This also makes it an outstanding value and one small pot lasts me over a year.

This scent is so nostalgic and comforting for me, it reminds me of my mom. I recently purchased a roller ball version of this after I found my mom started wearing this again and the smell was just so soothing. I love this stuff, it’s a great every day wear perfume, literally perfect for any occasion and any time of day- kind of a your skin but better vibe. I’ve seen a lot of reviews saying how it has no lasting power, but I’ve personally found that this lasts forever, it literally lasted a day and a half straight on me and I could still smell it! This is very much a straight and simple powdery musk smell which I love, and on the dry down the floral notes linger softly. So damn nostalgic and a great price as well.

I Purchased this after a coworker passed by and I liked what she was wearing. When she told me it was Egyptian Goddess and where she purchased it, I went out and purchased it on pay day. I have to say I like the smell on other people, but I cant smell it on me when I apply it. Other people can and love it, but I Cant smell it. It's one of those perfumes that I'll purchase the roll on instead of the huge bottle, and will use as an every day subtle perfume or mix it with another. On it's own it's more intimate than projectile.

I wore this constantly when I was in high school. Ever since I got really interested in fragrances I’ve kept trying other musky scents, looking for something that can recreate the magic of this perfume. Nothing can! I finally repurchased this after years and I cannot stop sniffing my wrists, I just adore this scent. So warm and simple. This is THE “your skin but better” scent. I cannot believe how cheap it is. Cheaper than some samples of other perfumes. Great performance. So glad to have this back in my collection.

This is a great clean scent! My friend wears this and you can smell her from across the room even at the end of the day. It lasts forever. It's very concentrated even though it seems light. It will grow and "bloom" after it warms up and soaks in. The scent itself is clean and musky but warm. Smells like sunlight. I smell florals, sandalwood, musk and a slight cinnamon/mint type note. It's sweet but not too sweet. I don't get powdery at all.

My least expensive fragrance that I always find myself returning to 😍. Creates an intimate cloud that is slightly sweet, powdery and musky (but not in the sharp way like some Narciso frags). I wear this when I want to feel feminine and effortless, it also gives me a maternal vibe. This oil lasts on my skin until I shower and garners compliments from hugs. I will always have this in my collection!

Egyptian Goddess is one of my favorite perfumes. Always inspiring reverie and nostalgia. This has to be the best iteration of the Egyptian musk type of fragrance, not overbearingly powdery. If you want to smell like a real 90s goth who peruses head shops and record stores then this is what you need.

I don't know if the problem is me or my bottle, but I bought the perfumed oil in a roll-on. I love the smell when I apply it, but in less than 2 minutes the scent is completely gone, nothing at all, not the slightest trace. Am I the only one with this problem?

Gorgeous. If you love EM perfumes, get your hands on it. I have the rollerball, & 2 of the larger bottles of oils. I am just now seeing there is a spray. For $28, I'm sure I need to have that too. Send help.

This smells amazing but for some reason it doesn't last on me at all contrary to other reviews :( love the scent, quiet and I get a hint of incense which makes it soooo sexy. Just wish it lasted on me!

One of my best friends wears this! You can smell her from like 20 feet away lol. It's a very clean, soapy, yet warm and woody (maybe sandalwood) musk. She always has this soft, clean cloud around her.
