Light of Seshat: From her sanctuary in Heliopolis Seshat sat at her writing desk. She had been
contemplative for the past few weeks. She put down her writing instrument. Having drawn upon the
stars as her meditation for her next creative idea and consciousness for the mortals she had come
to a halt in her thoughts. Her seven pointed star sat upon her head as a testament toward the
Heavens yet even in that connection toward the above she still had no answer. As she sat she
contemplatively looked upon her papyrus at the question she had written. ‘Why do we exist?’ was
written. Her own consciousness had taken her to a place where very little knew the existence to,
a chamber within the mind where very few have the courage to find within themselves and recognize
the truth to all things.
Egyptian Frankincense, Eastern Spices, Egyptian Amber Musk, NA's Dragon Blood and Egyptian
Incense.
Very slightly sweet and musty. It has the feel of something ancient and wise. The notes are so well blended that I can't seem to pick them out individually. The spices here don't seem typical of most you find in perfume(at least to me). There's a touch of sharpness to the spice and mustiness but not overly so. Gradually, the mustiness retreats to the background as a creamy sweetness starts to emerge. The sweetness from a beautiful, smoky incense.
Close your eyes and inhale deeply. An oil of calm and reflection.
As with the rest of the Meditation line, another true beauty in every way.

More gorgeous incense!! Oh, addition of frankincense is very nice! This one is so hard to pinpoint the smells, but they are very deep, bold scents, again, invoke serious insight. Another perfect one for meditation. If people don't use these for proper meditation, I can see how they will miss the purpose of these oils completely. This is not a perfumey scent meant for making one smell "oh so good". One must isolate themselves, close their eyes to the world and apply with the notion of purposeful, thoughtful self-focus. As time moves on, this becomes one of the deepest incense smells I believe NA has ever made. It's very warming, inviting a powerful sense of security and grounding. I will use this for calming the fears of irrationality, to bring me down to earth and help me feel safe and strong. Wonderful, NA, sincerely wonderful blend!! _________________ It's my favorite scent and I adore dragons... so I just HAD to pick that name.

Bottle: Incense, frankincense, and spice.
Me: This is predominantly frankincense on me, with a bit of the Eastern spices to add to it. It smells like really good incense. Very pretty, and a great addition to an already wonderful line. _________________

The frankincense in this one stands out the most to me, which is good, because thanks to NA, I've discovered that frankincense and I are friends. I can detect the dragon's blood a little, and I think it's the amber musk that gives it a slight hint of sweetness for me. Anyway, I have indeed worn this during meditation, and I must say that it did enhance the experience. This is an incredibly realistic incense scent; even the dry-down evokes cooling embers and traces of smoke. Amazing, amazing, amazing. I need to try the rest of the line now.

Meditation: Seshat
In bottle: mmm, incense resins, mainly dragon’s blood and frankincense.
On skin: oh my! Incense! Gorgeous rich resinous incense! This smells like a cross between church or temple incense and exotic perfumes and spices from a desert bazaar. The frankincense is the dominant note here and it is really wonderful-it smells ancient, like it’s been aged, and stored in a golden casket-there’s a very golden feel to this resin. There’s also an undertone of myrrh, I’m sure, even though it’s not a listed note. This really does smell like an Egyptian perfume that I’ve smelt before, there’s a stall in Greenwich selling Egyptian oils, and their frankincense oil smells a little bit like the frank note in here. This smell also reminds me of the shop not far from where I live that sells Persian/Turkish carpets, goods from India and Egypt, maybe that’s the Eastern spice note here. The scent then moves from that golden resin scent to a much smokier, spicier and redder scent as the dragon’s blood becomes more dominant. I really like NA’s DB so that’s a good thing. The scent then mellows into a wonderful amber-incense luxurious golden scent edged with red. This is a fantastic incense blend all around-exotic, mysterious, meditative, magical. I think this one is in the top three meditation scents (along with Horus and Osiris).
