At Alkhemized Jheanetics, we believe fragrance is a vessel for history. Our Sacred Kyphi is a contemporary tribute to the master apothecaries of Ancient Kemet which is why it deserves it’s own spotlight. Hand-blended using the traditional 16+ ingredient ritual, it bridges the gap between the temple rituals of the Nile and your modern sanctuary. When you burn our Kyphi, you aren't just lighting incense it’s a frequency shift.

Rooted in the rich olfactory landscape of North and East Africa, our blend features ethically sourced ingredients, no synthetics, or fragrance oils.

Scent profile: Warm, honeyed-spicy, and resinous with a deep, dark sweetness. Key ingredients often include frankincense, myrrh, calamus root, raisins, wine, benzoin, and sandalwood.

ORIGIN: Kyphi, called Kapet or Kap’t in the original Khemetic language, was traditionally burned as part of the evening offering in the temples. Kyphi is a sacred blend of honey, fruit infused wine, dried fruit, precious resins, roots, and herbs/botanicals are combined into a rich syrup which is allowed to dry, then formed into pellets . The pellets are coated with a powdered mix of herbs and cured. Once they have hardened, they are ready for use! The entire process takes up to 3 months.

Fun fact- The ancient Egyptian incenses was called Kyphi, or “Welcome to the Gods.” High priests concocted Kyphi during secret, chant-filled temple ceremonies. The incense was said to consist of “things that delight in the night.” Green historian Plutarch (A.D. 46-120) wrote that smelling Kyphi was like “listening to beautiful music.” He also described it as having the power to “rock a person to sleep, brighten dreams, and chase away the troubles of the day.”
