Brand: Solstice Scents
Scent Description:
Pharaoh is a fragrance comprised primarily of the long-established, popular and neutral scent of Egyptian Musk spiked with just a few drops of Frankincense Essential Oil and a splash of honey far in the background. It is a beautiful, very soft fragrance that is perfect for wearing when you’re looking for something understated and muted but would like to smell clean. It is a truly wonderful unisex fragrance that has a slight tinge of the exotic and is clean, fresh, mild, natural and has just the slightest hint of a floral. The frankincense is very soft and detectable solely upon application. After that, it takes a back seat and really is more of a note adding depth rather than one standing as identifiable. The honey is a very mild natural honey and does not contain the almond notes that other honey blends have.
This is more like Cleopatra. I smell this – I see a mature, self-assured, confident woman. There’s definitely honey and frankincense. Just be prepared for a slightly sweet scent of honey on top.
The honey and frankincense are far more dominant on me than the description would suggest, and at first mixes strangely with the musk into a cloyingly sweet concoction with woody, spiced, and resinous facets; Pharaoh later settles into a dry scent I can only describe as the smell of traditional sumi ink. Only after several hours of wear does the honey note separate from the cool and somewhat vanillic musk.
Amazing soft, clean, yet sultry scent. A my skin but better type of perfume. The fresh smelling Egyptian musk is slightly sweetened up by the honey.
