Neko Report post Posted September 19, 2004 I've recently discovered that I love Auric Blends Egyptian Goddess. I bought this perfume oil to wear to a larp (I wanted the distinct change in personal fragrance to signal a subtle but unnerving change in the character) and I found myself falling in love with it. I was wondering if anybody had discovered a similar scent in the BPAL repertoire. I'd love to purchase a BPAL oil that smells like Egyptian Goddess! I know that Beth, master perfumer and artistic genius that she is, would be able to create something even more enchanting and delicious! So, any suggestions? Share this post Link to post
ViolentKitten Report post Posted September 19, 2004 I love Egyptian Goddess too...so beautiful!! I remember a thread a while ago we were talking about it (can't find the thread though dang it) but Beth said she has a single note of Egyptian Musk, I've been wondering what it's like...it was going to be on my order I put in a week or so ago, but too many of the other scents won out! Anyway, I wonder what this single note would be like with some of Beth's reedy/herbal notes? When I sniff my Egyptian Goddess I think I can smell those things. Share this post Link to post
Ina Garten Davita Report post Posted September 20, 2004 Egyptian Goddess has been my signature scent since the early 90's. I still keep a full bottle on hand at all times, even since finding BPAL. I've tried over 200 of Beth's blends and none of them smell like Goddess, not that I think they should mind you. I wear and enjoy all of my BPAL scents but I still wear and enjoy my Goddess too.

ErciliaHernandez Report post Posted September 9, 2010 Hello everyone, I have recently liked Auric Blends Egyptian Goddess and I was wondering if there is a BPAL scent that is similar or better even? The Egyptian goddess blend says that the notes are Egyptian musk and flowers. Thanks Share this post Link to post
Blood onmy hands Report post Posted September 9, 2010 Maybe try these for more Egyptian musk + floral: *Bastet (notes: Luxuriant amber, warm Egyptian musk, fierce saffron and soft myrrh, almond, cardamom and golden lotus) *Salome (notes: almond with star jasmine, oakmoss, red sandalwood and Egyptian musk) *Mr. Ibis (notes: Papyrus, vanilla flower, Egyptian musk, African musk, aloe ferox, white sandalwood) And I think that Morocco is kinda similar, with the light, golden, powdery floral & warm musk type of feel, but that might be a skin chemistry thing...

blu° Report post Posted March 20, 2014 I've had a sample of this lying around for ages, and gave it a one-year-smoke-free new test today. It smells *very* similar to Xiuhtecuhtli to me. The same kind of soft musk + floral mix that I smell in Xiuhtecuhtli's base. The only difference - from memory without a side-to-side comparison - is that I perceice Xiuhtecuhtli as a pastel turqoise scent, while Egyptian Goddess is more of a white with light pastel yellows and pinks maybe, but more pearlescent white.

lookingglass Report post Posted March 20, 2014 (edited) I LOVE Egyptian Goddess, too! I've worn it since I was a teenager-smells like warm, happy, hippy times. I often crave it at bedtime, or when I need a break from my usual heavy, sweet wardrobe. The BPAL that feels and smells the closest to me is Bastet.
