The Mummy

[Egypt]

Sam Endicott, new adventurer to Egyptology and Archeology, has found what they are calling the lost tomb of the Pharaoh Ankh Set Amun. Believed to be over 4,000 years old, also possibly the Pharoah the Blue Pyramid was built for, Egyptologist Endicott consults with the family diary of Colin Endicott to verify what seems to be the find of the century.

"It seems we have found the great Pharaoh." He says to the press outside the small tomb just within distance to the Valley of the Kings. Under the small tent a group of photographers flash their cameras as Sam continues about his discovery, "It also seems we have found what looks to be a canopic jar but not of typical human remains, but instead, of a thick sharp ungent perfume that still retains its scent."

A journalist looks at the jar from her seat and stands, "what are the markings there? What do they say?"

Sam turns the canopic jar towards himself. "Clearly in a more dated hieratic glyph that translates very roughly to..."

A quiet falls upon the seated group. Sam Endicott takes a deep breath,

"All that see this, all that read this, all that smell of within shall be forever a shabti in my life eternal."

Raisin Kyphi, Amber Resin, Fresh Dirt of a Tomb, Loam, Butterscotch, Caramel, Walnuts, Burned Sugarcream and a cloud of time.

My first impression of The Mummy is of crème brulee, caramel popcorn and buttered toast with sugar on top – all at once - YUM! At dry-down, I can begin to smell something ancient and mouldering underneath. Over the longer term, the amber pulls all the tailings together into a cohesive warmth on my skin. Overall, The Mummy's fresh tomb dirt and loam brings the “foodiness” down to earth for me – making this completely pleasant. Unlike many foodie scents, this particular one will not be going in the “for at-home use only” section of my collection.

One of my most favorite desserts is crème brulee. This gives me such joy and at the same time am perplexed at all the things going on with this one. The Mummy indeed. Old linen soiled with fresh dirt and loam under the brulee and an ancient warmth about it. Going in my top ten personal halloween scents. Quite haunting out of the bottle, during and indeed after.
