Description The longest spell in the ancient Egyptian Book of the Dead, Spell 125 covers the ceremonial process of crossing the underworld to reach the afterlife, including the famous weighing of the heart ceremony, where only a feather-light heart would pass the God’s test.
The spell itself is full of visceral and iconic imagery which provided a wealth of inspiration for this perfume. It represents lightness pulled by darkness, and while it steps away from the scorched tar notes that can be found in Anubis, Spell 125 follows the concept from my first perfume and now closes the circle. This new fragrance will be the 7th offering in the Papillon collection and will be released on the 7th day of the 7th month of this year to coincide with our 7th anniversary. In ancient Egypt, the number 7 was considered a number of the Gods and these deep esoteric connections thread together the inspiration and composition. Everything about this perfume is entwined with magic, history and mystery. I loved the cyclical nature of creating Spell 125; I began the Papillon collection with a perfume inspired by ancient Egypt and it has been a pleasure to revisit this source to create something entirely different - Liz Moores perfumer
