Passover Kyphi was born out of curiosity and wonder. From a passion to create a Kyphi for purification, using Ezov (the Biblical Hyssop), which was used by the Israelites to protect their homes from the last and most deadly plague.
Noticing that the traditional process and key ingredients of Ancient Egyptian Kyphi visually and aromatically resembles the Haroset, a traditional paste of minced dried-fruit and nuts, spiced and preserved with wine.  

Kyphi is an ancient Egyptian incense which is considered to be the first perfume ever created. The elaborate and complex recipe for Kyphi was found on the walls of Egyptian temples and called for 16 distinctive ingredients. In the temples, Kyphi was burnt at dusk or early evening to prepare for the evening rituals and for dream work. Kyphi was soaked in wine and consumed as medicine, and was burnt by Egyptian nobles to as a personal fragrance by means of smoke (which would cling to hair and clothes), and were burnt in the evening to banish the worries of the day and invite good dreams. 

Our Kyphi Passover is a modern interpretation of the original Egyptian Kyphi, using 18 precious ingredients that are ground separately, then compounded together in a mixture of organic resins, local wine and wild honey. This not only binds together the ingredients but also creates an alchemical process that truly transforms the aroma of the incense and creates a heavenly smoke when burnt on a charcoal. It can also be used by placing on an aromatherapy diffuser (place on a piece of aluminum foil to prevent it from sticking to your diffuser). In addition to the traditional resins, the Passover edition for Kyphi uses Ezov (Origanum syriacum), myrtle, wild water mint, wild fennel seeds and other secret wild aromatics that are sure to bring a wonderful cleansing and sweet scent to your home this spring. 

l'Écume des Jours is inspired by the perfect symmetry and profound beauty portrayed in Boris Vian's most praised novel by the same name. Cheerful Pianola top notes of cassis and freesia lead to Chloe’s deadly Lung Water Lilly. The melancholy base of green moss and watery marine seaweed reflects the tragic conclusion of the tale. l'Écume des Jours is a strange perfume of unusual harmony that inspires appreciation for the simple beauty that is found in all things – especially the Jazz of New Orleans...

This traditional soap bar is made from two oils only, both indigenous to the Levant: Olive fruit oil and Laurel berry oil. This is fashioned after the famous soap from Aleppo and without any added fragrance. The unique scent, both herbaceous and tar-like,comes from the Ghar (laurel fruit) oil itself.

We're using olive oil that was cold-pressed from olive which were organically grown in Clil, and Laurel berry oil from Turkey.
