Kyphi: Ancient Egyptian, Modern Senkoh

2 grams per tube - slow burning 30+ mins per stick

Kyphi Incense – Winter 2025 Edition (second batch, slightly darker, more agarwood.)

A modern handmade Kyphi incense crafted from the original Edfu temple recipe and refined through senkoh technique. This incense is built from a fermentation of sweet flag, juniper berries, cyperus, pine resin, raisins & others. The ferment is folded into a deep aromatic base of agarwood, sandalwood, Himalayan cedar, frankincense, myrrh, mastic, styrax, cardamom, and trace of cinnamon. Aged labdanum adds depth, while camel grass and camphor lift the smoke into clarity.

Extruded stick by stick after kneading & curing. The result is an incense that moves through phases: descent to calm the spirit, ascent to open perception, harmonization in the center, purification of the heart, and entry into the dream-gate. Inspired by the night rituals of the Temple of Edfu, where Kyphi was offered to restore balance and invite vision, this blend deepens contemplation and prepares the mind for practice.

A deep, powerful and unusually complex incense with a lot of variability.. bitter earthy, then sweet and powdery, strange percolations of all kinds of scents and feel - if you like soft and lighter scents this may not be for you.
