Myrtum Laurum

Description

Cleopatra was perhaps the most fascinating and seductive woman in history.

Even today her name is synonymous with beauty, charm and mystery.

One of Cleopatra’s weapons of seduction was perfume, capable of stimulating memories and making people and moments associate.

Myrtum Laurum was her favorite among them.

A botanist and a great perfumer, the last queen of Egypt created perfumes first in the Nile area and later in her garden which she tried in Judea.

After the death of Cleopatra, and with the annexation of Egypt by Octavian, Roman traders did their utmost to import as many luxurious goods as possible into Rome: Myrtum Laurum was among them.

We think there was great excitement in wearing her ointment.

After all, Cleopatra would be considered a great female icon today.
