A ritual incense from Ancient Egypt, recreated with authentic ingredients
Kyphi incense is a luxurious Egyptian incense blend that dates back to the time of the Pharaohs.
The word “Kyphi” (Greek: κυφί) refers to an ancient mixture of resins, wine and herbs used by temple priests for both religious and medicinal purposes. Our Kyphi is crafted following historical temple inscriptions and uses ingredients that mirror the original recipes from ancient Egypt.
How does Kyphi smell?
Kyphi releases a sweet, intoxicating aroma, rich, resinous and deeply calming.
The smoke fills the space with a warm, mystical presence that soothes the senses and promotes restful sleep and vivid dreams. It’s best burned in the evening, as the ancients did, to accompany meditation, prayer or relaxation.

In ancient Egypt, Kyphi was burned each evening as an offering to the gods.
It symbolized purification, peace, and the soul’s journey beyond death. The blend was described in temple inscriptions from Dendera and Edfu, and used in funerary rites of the Pharaohs. Today, Kyphi is valued as a spiritual bridge to calm and timelessness.
Practical use & applications
Place a small Kyphi ball on a lit charcoal disc inside a heatproof incense bowl with some sand. Let the rich smoke fill the room, and if desired, step out during burning. Ideal for evening rituals, meditation or dream work.
Our suggestion…
Kyphi is still traditionally used to achieve a heightened dream state and the scent will gently lull you to sleep.
It is therefore advisable to burn Kyphi only in the late afternoon or evening, preferably just before bedtime.
Kyphi produces an exuberant, heavy smoke; It is recommended to leave the room during the burn and return when the smoke has cleared.
