Dendera is inspired by the great ancient Egyptian civilization and the mystery and immense beauty they left behind. The Dendera complex itself is a unique temple, famous for its “Dendera Lightbulbs” and built upon a much older temple complex newly discovered beneath its floors.

The top notes open with rich spices, cinnamon and nutmeg for a warm and inviting beginning. A resinous natural incense accord built upon frankincense and myrrh continues to entice as the scent starts to dry down. The natural Moroccan orris butter has a dry dusty tonality with a gently sweet Rooibos tea like quality. The combination of the orris with the earthy Vietnamese oud is a beautifully dry and rich accord reminiscent of Egyptian desert sands.

As it dries down through the resinous incense base a creamy Indian sandalwood comes through, becoming softly coated in a sparkling fine musky white ambergris, a touch of vanilla adds a hint of sweetness. Designed to be a scent fit for a Pharaoh and inspired by their legacy.

Here's what other people are saying about Dendera...

I thought I would give more info for anyone looking to try this cologne since the review length is capped. This fragrance lasts very long (6-8 hours). It has an almost chocolate-like quality in the beginning and middle but not overly sweet or gourmand-y. It's a bold, dark, iron-y chocolate. Sillage is moderate to intense. Don't spray too much because people will notice. The ambergris is noticeable after about 5 hours in as it mixes with the other woods. Not picking up much vetiver, though, which is fine with me. Give it a try. You might like it.

Interesting scent. It opens with a veritable bag of notes as if they were all being forcibly held to your nose. It smells like a bouquet of spices and wood inside of an old leather boot. As it dries down, the sweet freshness of the rose, frankincense and myrrh emerge and it takes on a more calming tone as they mingle with the nutmeg and cinnamon. The ambergris and vetiver are there, but not very prominent. The ending is almost pure sweet sandalwood. I purchased this as a blind buy based on the scent profile alone, and I'd rate it as so-so. A masculine, pleasing, calming fragrance, but not outstanding or instantly attention-grabbing.
