Bes 5ml - Cypress, amber, wild weeds, soil, galangal, Egyptian musk, pink musk and tea rose.

Lord of Laughter and Good Fortune

Not every god of ancient Egypt ruled from a throne.

Some preferred the company of ordinary people.

Bes was the protector of households, guardian of children, patron of music, dancing, and merriment. Unlike the lofty gods of the heavens, Bes belonged among the people. His image appeared in homes throughout Egypt, where he was invoked to ward off misfortune, frighten away evil spirits, and ensure that joy remained welcome within the household.

He was a protector, certainly.

But he was also a reminder that life should be enjoyed.

This fragrance captures the warmth, vitality, and earthy charm of Egypt's most beloved household deity.

Cypress forms the backbone of the composition, lending a green, enduring strength that speaks of protection and resilience. Its presence feels reassuring, like a guardian standing watch at the threshold, quietly ensuring that all is well.

Tea rose blooms at the heart of the fragrance, softening the woods with warmth and humanity. Unlike the grand floral displays favoured by nobility, this rose feels approachable and familiar—beautiful without pretension, much like the god himself.

Wild weeds wind through the blend with untamed energy, evoking the overlooked corners where life thrives regardless of expectation. They lend the fragrance an earthy, unconventional character that feels perfectly suited to a deity who never concerned himself with appearances or ceremony.

The scent of rich soil grounds the composition, connecting it firmly to the lives of ordinary people. This is the fragrance of gardens, homes, and communities rather than temples and palaces. It celebrates the simple joys that Bes was said to protect.

Galangal brings warmth and vitality, its spicy brightness dancing through the darker notes like music echoing through a lively gathering. Egyptian musk and pink musk soften the composition with comfort and intimacy, while amber glows beneath it all like firelight shared among friends and family.

Bes is a fragrance of laughter, hospitality, and good fortune. It is the scent of a welcoming home, a crowded table, and the comforting knowledge that even in difficult times there are still reasons to celebrate.

After all, Bes would have expected nothing less.
