Holiday 2017 RESURGENCE

♆Studio Limited Holiday : Egyptian Gold Amber  A scent of amber-limestone that enhances with key organic elements of Sandalwood, Rock Rose Resin (this is a resin, not 'rose' related), Patchouli, Vetiver, Limestone and Amber-honey to create an infused organic Gold Amber from ingredients found only in Egypt.  Natural occurring resin can be seen in the oil, this will dissolve with aging and enhance the scent during the process.

♆Studio Limited Holiday : Egyptian Sandalwood  Egyptian Sandalwood wood is steam distilled with a base note of a soft nature. We then added a fraction of two other Organic Sandalwood to enhance the scent; Australian Sandalwood or Santalum Spicatum - which enhances the Egyptian and finally adding an East Indian Organic Santalum Album which gives the scent a smooth and lasting impression.

♆Studio Limited Holiday : Egyptian Gold Fig  Egyptian Gold Fig is created by distilling fig seeds and fresh fig skin a touch of Santalum White and a soft essence of skin musk underneath; the process of making oil from fig seeds and skin takes a few weeks but well worth the wait for this holiday SL offering.

♆Studio Limited Holiday : Egyptian Frankincense  Egyptian Frankincense resin steam distilled with a base note of a medium nature. We then added a fraction of two other Organic Frankincense to enhance the scent; Indian Frankincense or Boswellia Serrate - which enhances the Egyptian and finally adding a Middle Eastern Organic Boswellia Carterii which gives the scent a lasting impression. Fresh, rejuvenating, a part of the Holy Oil from the Talmud and long used from the beginning of Ancient Egypt as an offering to Royalty and the Incense of Gods. Brought back from the Frankish Crusaders into Europe, thus Olibanum became Frankincense.

♆Studio Limited Holiday : Egyptian Myrrh  Egyptian Myrrh is created using actual Myrrh shrub wood as well as the the reddish tears that are turned to resin after hardening from the natural process of oleo resin-ation.  A beautiful scent on its own or when layered.

♆Studio Limited Holiday : Egyptian Gold Vanilla & Sandalwood Gold vanilla beans from Greece and created a beautiful golden vanilla essence; next we slowly dripped Sandalwood oil into the Gold Vanilla and let the Sandalwood and Vanilla permeate into each other. The process took almost three weeks to complete but well worth the wait.
