Who was Hatshepsut? Born Hatshepsitou, daughter of Thutmose I, she rose to power during the Egyptian Middle Kingdom. She is remembered for rewriting history in her favor, the only woman of Egyptian blood ever crowned pharaoh. Upon her death, a campaign was  waged to erase her from history.

The fragrance Eye, Hatshepsut draws inspiration from her depictions as a female figure in male dress. Soft floral arcs meet stark resinous edges, layered against the crystalline sands of the Sahara.

Eye, Hatshepsut weaves the aromas of Hatshepsut's daily rituals (honeyed skin, kohl-lined eyes, sacred incense) with scents evoking royal life (lotus flower, papyrus, kyphi resin). A wisp of olfactory smoke guides you from palace walls down temple halls, across the battlefields of Nubia, to the entombed confines of Dayr al-Bahri, before yielding to the perfumed embraces of the afterlife. As the Saharan sun sets and the blossoms close, a lingering fragrant echo kisses the air.

Crafting Eye, Hatshepsut was a process of careful layering and olfactive calibration. Aromatic walls were built, softened, and then reshaped and distressed, blending florals, resins, highly anosmic ingredients, and other olfactive imprints of Egyptian life. Each stage required attention to how the composition twisted, shifted, and faded over time.

The arc of the fragrance mirrors Hatshepsut herself: bold yet fluid, structured yet mutable, a presence that transforms and endures. It moves through space and memory like a desert wind, leaving a lingering, luminous trace.

Eye, Hatshepsut is a scent that whispers enduring exaltations to Eye, Hatshepsut.
