Nuit Oil
One of the very first images that attracted us to ancient Egypt was of Nuit, her naked blue body spangled with stars, bending over the earth. This image has always remained both powerful and comforting. One of the oldest of the Egyptian gods, Nuit protects the righteous dead, setting their souls to blaze in the night sky. She is the daughter of air and moisture; her watery character (they don't call it the Milky Way for nothing) is further borne out in some depictions, where she wears a headdress shaped like a waterpot. Its shape recalls that of the uterus, and the waters of birth unite in her with those of eternity.

We have chosen to honor this beloved goddess with an oil foregrounding water scents. It is rich with the fragrance of our own vegetal ambergris, tidal oakmoss, algae, seaweed. These are lifted by woods associated with immortality--white cedar and cypress--and give a depth of mystery with opoponax. In response to customer requests, we have also developed a Nuit oil especially for use in Thelema. This scent has notes of voluptuous flowers like night-blooming jasmine, fragrant woods like cypress and white cedar, and rich resins such as labdanum and frankincense: "Burn to me perfumes!" Enjoy!
