For ancient Egyptians, burning incense was a daily celebration of fragrance and their most treasured incense 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 the burning of Kyphi and recipes for making the sacred blend.
Kyphi produces a beautiful, full-bodied, rich multi-layered bouquet with a warm, relaxing, sweet, spicy and sensual aroma. We present our popular re-creation of this ancient Egyptian incense.

Kyphi , Frankincense , palo santo
Wonderful service and fast shipping. The Kyphi is excellent, I was so excited and pleased with your products. Palo santo sticks put off nice scent without having to heat, and I love the freshness and feel of the Hojary Frankincense. Thank you so much. Nancy in Utah

Ancient Egyptian Kyphi
This is an extremely challenging incense to make and Scents of Earth has created a beautifully done rendition. It is warm, sweet, spicy and comforting all at once; when heated indirectly, the subtle scent permeates a room slowly and thoroughly until anyone coming in looks around wildly saying things like "What IS that? I don't see any incense!" It's a real treat and a testament to the master blenders at Scents of Earth. I love it. Thank you for making it.

Heavenly aroma
This Kyphi is one of the best blends sold on this site, hands down! Its aroma is so complex and well balanced. Sweet, earthy, spicy, resinous, and subtly fruity, it is a fantastic way to unwind in the evening. Definitely try some!
