I love this scent. It's on the sweeter side and it burns beautifully.

For ancient Egyptians, burning incense was a daily celebration of fragrance, and their favorite incense of all was Kyphi. On a daily basis, the ritualized burning of incense in ancient Egypt consisted of frankincense in the morning, myrrh during the day, and Kapet (Kyphi from the Greek translation) in the evening. According to Egyptologists, Kyphi played an important role as a sacred fragrance in many ceremonies.
Various Kyphi recipes were made, some using about a dozen ingredients, while others included over fifty. Kyphi recipes are inscribed on the walls of the ancient temples of Edfu and Philae, with pictographs of Kyphi being used and recipes for making it.
Kyphi produces a beautiful, full-bodied, rich multi-layered bouquet with a warm, relaxing, sweet, spicy and sensual aroma. Here we present our own re-creation of this ancient Egyptian incense.
Made of only the finest natural organic and wild-crafted ingredients: Red wine, Tupelo honey, Sultana raisins, Storax Bark, Saffron, Sandalwood, Aloeswood, Frankincense, Mastic, Benzoin, Cardamom seeds, Galangal root, Lemongrass, Rose petals and more.
Handcrafted in-house in very small batches.

Write a reviewScents of Earth's Kyphi initially emits rich, deep, sweet notes of wine, honey and the honeycomb. These are followed by delicate middle notes of ginger, juniper berries and vetiver. There are dominant, finishing, notes of exotic woods; sandal and precious aloes. All incense aficionados and those who are intrigued by the history of Ancient Egypt owe it to themselves to let this mysterious fragrance transport them 3,000 years into the past, to be placed in the mighty shadows of the Pyramids, the watchful gaze of the Sphinx, and the opulent splendor of the Pharaohs' Courts .

Up until this point I have been using sand at the bottom of my censer, but this ash keeps the charcoal warm - so it burns longer and more efficiently! I love it, and I will certainly buy more.
