Auric Blends - Egyptian Goddess Special Edition Fine Perfume Oil Roll-On

Smells exotic with a little bit of musk. No patchouli detected.

When I first applied the oil, all I could smell was just...oil. No scent whatsoever. Bamboozled by the rave reviews once again! The bottle fell out of my purse while I was in my car and I didn't bother picking it up. That's how done I was with it. While I was running errands, I was getting compliments. "They must be referring to the other scents I'm wearing". Three days later, I put it to the test. The bottle was warm from being in the heat for over 72 hours. I guess the heat intensified it because I could smell it a tad better, but not that much. Everywhere I went, people were stopping me to find out what I was wearing. I was getting so many compliments! They said the scent left an intoxicating trail. Sounds a little dramatic to me but okay...I'll take it! The downside to wearing this oil is that people want to stand extremely close to you in line. Not even kidding. I have to give them a dirty look to back up. Overall, I will be buying this again.

Have purchased this several times before and loved it. Ordered four (4) this time and they have ABSOLUTELY ZERO SCENT. Nothing, not even a whiff. Also ordered a larger bottle and same thing. No scent whatsoever. This is very disappointing, because I love the scent and usually, it is strong enough that you have to be careful not to put too much on or it would be overpowering. Not sure if I will return and try to reorder or not, but I suppose it’s possible this was just a bad batch.

Me and my sister used to buy a perfume oil called Egyptian Musk from a store at least 10 years back. The store closed down and we’ve been trying to hunt this smell down ever since. I’ve purchased Egyptian Musk scents from other companies and they didn’t even come close. UNTIL NOW! I found it and IM SO HAPPY! I read the reviews so I decided to give it a try and I’m SOOOO glad I did! This is it! It’s such a clean, fresh, scent. Almost like fresh laundry but with musk! It’s amazing & it PROJECTS! if you want to smell clean & gorgeous all day, buy Egyptian Goddess! I dabbed some on my wrist and it’s alllll I’ve smelled all day. 10/10! I can’t wait to try their other scents!

I originally found this scent in the same roll-on oil form over 20 years ago in my local smoke shop (wink, wink) & I fell in love with it!!! Everyone else loved it on me, too! Many people told me that they'd smelled it on other women, but that it always smelled better on me, so it really works well with my body chemistry & natural scent. It's deliciously heady without being overpowering or obnoxious. And the best part is that it lasts long & it's inexpensive, instead of costing $100+ (for an eau de toilette, which is mostly alcohol instead of true parfum that doesn't have that harsh kick, especially when people douse themselves in it so you can smell them 10 minutes before they arrive lol)

EDIT: 12/31/13 ***REVIEWERS*** I have learned from other users of this product that Auric Blends has changed the Egyptian Goddess scent in the last six months or so. It seems my review is not of the original scent and according to them, the original scent is far superior than the new watered down and altered scent which is what I have reviewed. PLEASE TAKE CAUTION that the older reviews of this scent are reviews of the scent you can no longer attain and the more recent reviews, like mine, are reviews of this different version of Egyptian Goddess. It's a shame but let this knowledge aid you in your decision about this. Please pay attention to only the more recent reviews of this scented oil. Thank you. *** Okay so I just received this roll on oil perfume and the moment I opened it, I sniffed the bottle. I could barely smell anything so here I am confused and wondering if the less positive reviews were true and this perfume really had little to no scent! Not only that, but the scent wasn't sweet although I don't think I really knew what to expect. Still I decided to give it a chance; I rolled some on my arm. 10 minutes later, I notice I can smell it a bit. I brought my arm up and sniffed- aahhhh! There it is, the scent was much stronger! The perfume needs a bit of heat to strengthen up and emanate properly so definitely don't judge it by sniffing the bottle. As for the scent, a lot of reviews are very general about the actual scent so you might not know what to expect of the scent. I'm definitely growing to like the scent, myself. I gave it 4 stars because it wasn't what I was used to but it's definitely not an offensive smell. The smell is not sweet. There is a slight musk to it and the smell really does change according to your body chemistry. Sometimes it smells like incense to me, or an earthy and warm scent, sometimes it smells like a fresh river, and other times it smells like a sensual massage oil with a bit of spice to it. It's really difficult to describe now that I'm trying, haha! BUT I can definitely say the scent is correctly named. When I smell this perfume, I imagine being in a lavish Egyptian temple as a queen with a papyrus-laden river flowing nearby. It smells "queenly," it smells exotic and regal. No old lady nonsense, but a scent gives off an aura of mystery, sensuality, and power. It's lightly scented so it's nothing that will make you sneeze. If you'd like to sweeten it a little bit, a drop of Pure Instinct blends with it quite nicely, I must say! It still retains its aura but with a non-clashing hint of sweetness. I'm used to more sweet and floral scents so this is quite the change for me, but I am certainly adapting quickly. I only applied the oil to my arm near my wrist and it's been 5 hours and I can still smell it in a pleasant and non-overpowering way. It's a keeper!

This scent is wonderful and I get compliments from perfect strangers regularly. It's soft and sensual and definitely a choice for those who like musk based fragrance and the oil stays put. As long as it's available, I will continue to wear it. Enjoy!

The smell was so very faint. A few women I work with wear this and it is always VERY fragrant. But this was not. Maybe it was a bad or old batch. Not sure. The smell is quite nice just not what I had expected. Will look for it with another manufacturer to compare.
